It's hard to believe that we're in rolling into the middle of August this Saturday. Sweet corn, peaches, and tomatoes are at their prime. And it's time to start thinking about canning and preserving - capturing summer's flavors so you can visit them again on a cold winter's day. But in the meantime, there's plenty more of the market season to savor. There's no doubt that it's been a hot, steamy summer - not to mention a strange, stressful one. But that hasn't stopped y'all from shopping local every Saturday. And we know it's not always easy. We see you donning your masks, keeping your distance, standing in long lines... but still smiling and sharing a laugh with your favorite farmer. Thank you for that. Thank you for showing up, week in and week out. We see you walking the market, your face masked and your arms loaded with bundles of fresh food and bright bouquets of flowers, or sometimes a single, joyful sunflower. When we see you we see kindness, we see caring and we see the love of community.
We look forward to seeing you again this Saturday... and all through the Fall.

Cooking with the Seasons
Eggplant

Garlic Parmesan
Baked Eggplant
From Crunchy Creamy Sweet
|
"Eggplant is in season and I am going to show you one of my favorite dishes with this vegetable. It’s easy and can be served as an appetizer, side dish or used in main dishes, like Eggplant Parmesan. The garlicky Parmesan breading makes for a perfectly crispy coating even though the eggplant is baked and not fried.

Crunchy Creamy Sweet
You'll find eggplant in all shapes, sizes and varieties at:
- Backyard Growers
- Cabbage Throw Farm
- Phillips Farm

Summer Foraging

Did you know that we are certified by the PA dept of Agriculture to forage wild mushrooms? Well, we are, luckily for you! This weekend's lineup is going to be stellar with several foraged mushrooms popping up at all of the markets.
Right now, we have a ton of Chanterelles thanks to all of that rain that just happened, and several pounds of lobster mushroom and chicken of the woods as well! All of the foraged goods will be first come first serve- they will not be on the website for pre- order. So if you want any wilds, get to market early :)
We will also still have a ton of lion's mane available as well as hamburger sized shiitakes.
As per usual, orders are not required, but are welcome. If you prefer to pre-order, and pre-pay, please make sure to have your orders in by midnight Thursday night, so that we are able to pack them Friday.

Fun Fact: did you know that bacon and eggs were not considered popular breakfast foods until the 1920’s when it was determined that these were nutritious food choices to replace the energy lost at night? Well, Team Breakaway is in the energy restoration ‘biz’ and they make over 40 varieties of bacon for all seasons! ;) Their current favorite is Sultry Summerthyme Bacon; Cured with Sea Salt, Fresh Garlic, Fresh Thyme, and a hint of Juniper Berry, this is the perfect addition to any meal!

Teels Hill Soapworks
A Sea of Blue Soaps
|
With the combination of these soaps I can not help but think of summer by the sea. Coconut Chamomile is made with coconut milk and a blend of nut oils, macadamia, hazelnut and kukui. Clarity soap is scented with Clary Sage essential oil which has a hormone-like agent that helps to balance our stressful days. But men like the color too.Tranquility soap is tinted with aqua green and blue, scented with Vetiver and Tangerine. And lastly Roy's Kaleidosoap. This one is made with pieces of seven of other soaps and then a batch of soap scented with Ylang Ylang is poured over the pieces, giving this bar a look of sea glass. |
