Recipes

Hummus With Roasted Tomatoes And Almonds.
from Bon Appetit

This is an easy and delicious lunch or dinner along with some of Dozen Bakery’s fresh baked bread!

Preheat oven to 350°. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened in color and fragrant, 7–10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop. Reduce oven temperature to 250°.
Toss tomatoes, thyme, and garlic with 1 Tbsp. oil on a clean rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Roast until tomatoes are softened and shriveled but not mushy, 1–1½ hours; pluck out thyme and garlic and discard (makes about 2¼ cups).
Spread hummus on a plate and top with about 1 cup roasted tomatoes (reserve remaining tomatoes for another use). Drizzle with remaining 3 Tbsp. oil and top with cilantro and toasted almonds.

Market News

Hello!

We hope everyone is enjoying summer! The days are hot and long and perfect for swimming, exploring, napping, and of course eating! Lots of delicious produce this time of year. You can’t beat summertime tomatoes or melons – in fact it is pretty pointless to try them any other time of the year!

We have a great offering of blueberry syrup from our blueberry farmer! This is delicious on pancakes, over ice cream, or added to sparkling water! Made from the same local and organic blueberries!

The watermelon has been delicious! We’ve also lots of great cantaloupe.

Remember all our produce and Market items are guaranteed! If you are not satisfied with the quality of an item, let us know and we will refund your money or replace the item. Especially with melons, it can be very hard to tell quality!

Thank you so much for all your support!

See you Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee

Greener Acres Farm:  Fresh From the Farm


Fresh From the Farm

Things are getting exciting here on the farm. The tomatoes will soon be ripe for the picking. They are just starting to turn colors and they are amazingly large this year. Lots of tasty cherry tomatoes this year as well. Stay tuned for the first of this seasons tomato awesomeness!!

The peppers are doing amazing as well (we have actually had to stake some of them up, they are falling over from the weight) We have regular green and Flavorburst available this week. We will have purple, yellow, orange, and Sweet Chocolate available in a few weeks. Colored peppers take about two extra weeks to develop their colors.

We hope to be hearing from our sweet corn producer soon for the first of our local corn. Most “local” corn available in stores right now is coming out of Lancaster county.

Small Fruits

We have a small amount of red raspberries available this week. Blackberries will be ripening in the next week or two. We may have small quantities of strawberries available in the next few weeks as well. Stay tuned.
