PEACHES - Freestone Red Haven, PF Flaming Fury, and July Prince.

This week we have three great peach varieties, both freestone and great for canning, eating, or baking. We are offering the in bulk sizes as well. See below for bulk pricing.

Sold in 2# bags, $5.50

Red Haven A timeless farmer's market classic, nearly fuzz-less on the outside and with a sweet, yellow flesh.

PF Flaming Fury. I was first introduced to Paul Friday's Flaming Fury line about 10 years ago and I love them. Paul Friday is a famous Michigan peach grower who spent his life trying to improve the quality of peaches. Today, he has over 30 patents on peaches ideal for our climate. The Flaming Fury works for the grower with better yields and disease resistance, and it's great for the consumer with improved flavor, size, and texture. These are excellent peaches.

July Prince. A large, yellow fleshed peach with firm, sweet flesh. Excellent for baking and canning as it is easy to work with. A southern peach that adapts well to the sandy soils of Eshlemans up near Lake Erie.

WATERMELONS

Yellow Doll Watermelon

The yellow doll has a bright yellow flesh and is seeded. It is a small, very delicate melon that cracks easily.

$3.75 each.

Red Seedless Watermelon

Medium large and a fan favorite.

August Fruit Trio of the Week - $18

1 seedless watermelon, 1 cantaloupe, and 2# nectarines

Peach Pie with Lattice Top



Our weekly flavor is a summer classic of just peach in a thick syrup and topped with a sugared lattice top.

As always, we start with our signature crust of organic whole wheat flour, local butter, and house rendered pork lard for a flaky crust.

Lemon Blueberry Bread



A sweet quick bread made with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and blueberries, with a sweet lemon glaze on top.

24 oz loaf.

If you are like us trying to prepare for winter, now is the time to get busy. Lots to select from this week.

Ham Hock and Beans

Slow-Cooked Cuban Black Beans

Sale Item - Ham Hocks - 25% off.

There are things that go well together in food. Strawberry and rhubarb. Lemon and Blueberry. And ham hocks and beans.

The ham hock is the front or rear shin of the hog. It's from the trotter (foot) up to the knee. The meat is full of flavor and the bones full of gelatin. The hock is first brined with a cure, then smoked.

Use the ham hock to make a delicious broth (ham stock) and use that broth to cook your beans. Or, skip a step and cook the beans with the ham hock and celery/onion/carrot.

This is inside speak - at the warehouse, chicken's that are out of range for our trays in the freezer are called "Over/Unders." Either too light or too heavy. We sort them out, but frozen chickens never pack back in the boxes like before. It becomes a mess.

So we have quite a few chickens out of range that we need to move.
