From the farm to the kitchen

See the recipe below for Nancy's crepes
|
The weather has set a lot of crops back: despite watering, the heat just seems to rob them of growing energy. Be grateful, the summer squash don't seem to be affected. Nancy will be bringing plenty of those cute, colorful baby squash, and blossoms. There will also be 3 varieties of garlic, a few baby carrots, scallions and more of the same delicious, healthy goat meat. Some cuts are already sold out, so let Nancy know if there's a particular one you need. I still have rack and leg roasts, shanks, ground meat, and rib, leg or loin chops.
Nancy was inspired by the gorgeous blueberries from Thistlehair Farm. Here's what she created:
Blueberry crepes
2 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
1 cup flour
pinch salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
Beat the eggs and egg yolks very thin and stir in the flour, salt & sugar. Beat smooth. Add milk enough to make a batter thick enough to coat a metal spoon.
Heat a heavy saute' pan or crepe pan to where a drop of water sizzles when it hits. Grease with a 1/4 teaspoon of butter. Holding pan in one hand, use a 1/4 cup measure to dip up and pour in a scant 1/4 cup of the batter. Tilt the pan every which way with a circular motion to spread the batter out. Cook for 10 or 15 seconds. When the surface of the batter loses its shininess, flip the crepe and cook the other side just till it releases - the crepe slips around when you slide the pan back and forth.
Flip onto a warm plate, brush with melted butter and cover with another plate. Repeat to make 12 crepes, being sure to stir the batter between each one.
This takes practice, and you are bound to shred or scorch a couple. The next time, it will be easier. Nancy's on the farm recipe includes using fresh eggs and unpasteurized goat's milk creating a batter with the perfect combination of cohesion and flexibility.
Filling: 8 oz fresh soft goat cheese, combined with grated peel of one lemon, and 2 tbsp honey (or more to taste).
Topping: combine a pint of fresh blueberries with a half cup of warmed blueberry preserves: or else, just mash and sweeten 1/4 of your berries and combine with the rest.
Place 2 tbsp filling on one side of crepe, fold over and roll up. Place in a ceramic dish, repeat with remaining crepes. You can either chill them and serve with warm sauce, or warm them (covered with aluminum foil) in a 300 degree oven.

Atwood Village Family Farm
Meat, poultry, bread, cakes, cookies, herbs...
Atwood Village Family Farm will have kale, golden and ruby red chard, kohlrabi and garlic. Get your grill on with their pastured meats-1 lb packages of ground goat, goat chorizo sausage, jalapeno/pepperjack brats, ground lamb and whole chickens - all from animals they raised at their small family farm in Independence, KY. They will be baking multigrain ciabattas with organic ingredients-garlic, rosemary/potato, and maybe some other flavors too! Lemon balm sour cream cakes, chocolate mint cookies will be available for your holiday treats! Plan ahead and figure out what you can do with fresh cut herbs including rosemary, thyme, spearmint, oregano, basil, lemon balm. and catnip.
Here's a recipe for a super refreshing herbal tea-an idea given to Amy by Mackey at Red Sunflower Farm in Independence, KY. Pick a large handful of herbs (any will do but we like the combo of mint, lemon balm, and catnip) bruise the herbs by coarse chop or tearing/twisting leaves and pour a couple cups of boiling water over them. Let steep for ten minutes. Strain and add cold water/ice to bring total to 2 quarts. Sweeten with honey. Enjoy!

Eco-friendly cleaning products
In order to protect our loved ones and our planet Ann will be bringing eco-friendly cleaning products including: All-Purpose Spray Cleaner. Disinfectant Spray Cleaner, Glass Cleaner, Sink and Tile Cleaner, Soft Scrub, Air Freshener, Hand Sanitizer Spray, Linen Mist, Soy Wax Candles, as well as Tarts, and Tart Warmers. Each product is made from safe natural ingredients and scented with 100% Pure Essential Oil.
Choosing green cleaning with nontoxic and biodegradable products not only protects our freshwater supplies and aquatic ecosystems it also prevents the buildup of chemical residues in our homes and improves our indoor air quality.
GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK: USE A VINEGAR SOLUTION TO CLEAN YOU HOME
It's a powerful household cleaner! A bottle of vinegar is considerably cheaper than similar-size bottles of brand name cleaning products and much safer. Most commercial cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that pollute the air in your home. In 2000, cleaning products were responsible for nearly 10% of all toxic exposures reported to poison control centers.
Use a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water to tackle jobs ranging from cleaning windows, cutting through soap scum, and to remove stains. Never mix vinegar with bleach, ammonia, or products containing ammonia like dish soap) because the fumes are toxic.

Hello every one! As your new market manager I would like to say that I'm very excited to take on this role. I feel that we can, as a community, take this great market and make it even better. As some of you may know, I have been an employee at The Party Source for five years now, and was also participating in the market with the artist booth. I look forward to combining my passions for food, art, music, and community and making the Bellevue Farmers Market all that it can be.
