Dawson Local Harvest:  Don't Give Up the Ghost!


Dawson Local Harvest for Oct. 14th

Don’t Give Up the Ghost!

EVERYBODY!

Lots of news for the Market this week.
First, What’s New in Produce. If you like hot’n’spicy, you’ll love Ghost Peppers from LEILANI’S. Twice as hot as the Scotch Bonnet, these red Bad Boys can add some heat to any meal! An order is enough to try with several dishes. Also new to the Market this week are cool-weather favorites Kale and Collards, joining Green Beans, Bok Choi, Chard, Salad Turnips, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Okra, every kind of leaf Lettuce imaginable, and other Peppers. All of these veggies ebb and flow through the seasons and several are coming to an end, so it behooves any of you interested in what’s available now to take advantage of availabilities while you can.

In other news: MY DAILY BREAD has added Organic Apple Butter to their delicious line of Jams & Jellies. If you’ve never tried their Apple Butter or Hot Pepper Peach, you don’t know what you’re missing (see Processed Foods: Jams & Jellies). They also mill their own Organic Flour for their Baked Goods and have added Freshly-milled Red Wheat Flour to their product line (see Grains & Milled).

Other Items of Note include Free-range Pork Chops from 5 HENS, Organic Pumpkin Roll and Organic Pumpkin Spice Bread from DAILY BREAD, Heirloom Cooking Pumpkins if you want to do it yourself from BRADLEY’s, along with their Local Wildflower Honey, and much more. Take a look to see what’s on the Market this week.

THE MARKET WILL OPEN Sunday night at 8pm!

REMEMBER! You can order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.

You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.

Market News

Greetings everyone! We hope this note finds you well and you have a wonderful week!

Jim and Julie from Rocky Glade Farm are BACK this week and we are extremely excited to welcome them! They have a few things on offer and will bring more as the season changes. Check their website for CSA possibilities!

Krafty Kupboard brings some INCREDIBLE Concord Grape Jam: made from Concord grapes just in from California. Exceptionally low in sugar, this dense, smooth fruit spread is fantastic on toast, biscuits, oatmeal, yogurt and in recipes. Full of flavor and antioxidants, this grape jam is quite a treat! (I know because she shared some with me and it IS a treat!!)

Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has added two types of seasonal table decorations, baskets and planters, both with colorful fall plants to brighten your home well past Thanksgiving. Also we’ve added four colors of Ornamental Kale, which can be planted out in your garden for color which will last till the very coldest part of the winter. These are much longer-lasting than mums, and a bit more unusual. But they are in limited supply, so get them soon! The weather is also perfect for planting perennials in the garden, allowing them to establish strong root systems before winter, to produce spectacular blooms next spring.

I know my herb beds are looking better because of her efforts in the greenhouse!!

Seeds of Success brings the Quinoa Corn Chowder and Carrot Ginger Soups, just in time for the chilly days!

Benjamin’s Organic Sprouts have been well received and you guys have supported him so well! We are adding them to the market today along with broccoli sprouts and more varieties to come! THANK YOU for supporting our youth in their efforts!

There’s abundance on our market right now! We hope you will take the time to browse some new things this week (or even old favorites you’ve been meaning to try).

Rainbow Hill has several varieties of apples! Don’t miss your chance to have these incredible, local, in-season apples while they last!

Plenty of amazing summer vegetables still available along with all your packaged and convenient foods, skin care and more for your week’s grocery needs!

As always, we thank L & L Contractors for their hospitality and generosity in hosting our market! Please remember them in your contracting needs! They support us so please return the support to them!

See you Wednesday!

Sweet Potato Soup with Miso and Ginger

Try this with Rocky Glade’s Farm fresh ginger!

Serves 4 to 6, makes about 8 cups
For the soup:
Olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced, about 1/4 cup
3 cups mashed sweet potato (from about 3 roasted sweet potatoes)
3 tablespoons light miso
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup whole milk
Salt and pepper

For the spiced yogurt drizzle:
1/2 cup whole milk yogurt
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

Cook the onion and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat until soft and translucent. Raise the heat a little and add the ginger. Fry until the ginger is fragrant, but don’t let the onions and garlic brown. Add the sweet potato mash and miso, and continue cooking until the puree is warmed.

Add the broth to the pan and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then cover, turn the heat to low, and let the soup cook for about 5 minutes to bring the flavors together. Remove from heat and puree in a blender or with an immersion blender.

Return to the heat and warm, whisking in the milk. Salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, whisk in a little extra milk until you get the consistency you want.

Whisk together the yogurt, garam masala, and maple syrup. Drizzle over the sweet potato soup to garnish.

Market News

Hello!

We have some wonderful veggies for you this week – fall lettuces as well as some other interesting greens. Although the summer veggies may reign supreme in the hearts and minds of many, the diversity and selection this time of year is really impressive. And delicious! There is so much to choose from, and great stuff available for hearty meals, salads, soups, and baking!

This week, John is returning from a much needed family vacation to the Gulf. Tally will be off this week on a trip with her family. Please be extra nice to John as he will be all by his lonesome at delivery.

We will not be offering cheese this week – The Bloomy Rind will be back with us next week with their great selection.
We just want to remind you that when placing your order and an item is sold out, feel free to let us know in the comments section of your order that you would like some if available!~ Often we are able to make that request and can add it to your order as we pack!

Thank you so much for all your support!
See you Wednesday!
