GFM :  Farmer’s Market Fresh Program Coming to Greene County


UT Extension Greene County is participating in a new program called Farmers’ Market Fresh. The Family and Consumer Sciences Agent and Program Assistant will have a booth at the Greeneville Farmer’s Market at the fairgrounds starting Saturday August 22nd running through end of September where they will be offering food demonstrations, recipes, and research-based advice on the best ways to select and store some of our favorite summertime items. The best part of the program – each person who stops by the booth will receive a recipe card for the food being demonstrated that day. At the end of the season, consumers could have an entire collection of recipes all featuring items fresh from the farmers’ market. Recipes to be featured include: apple salad, a refreshing blueberry smoothie, broccoli salad, corn relish salad, cucumber relish perfect for the summer-time hot dogs, green bean salad, a yummy yogurt peach parfait, a tri-pepper salad that will make you want seconds, summer squash with pasta, sweet potato pancakes, fresh tomato bruschetta, and cantaloupe salad. There will be giveaways for the adults and kids. So get ready to have some fun this summer!

If you would like more information about this program please contact Lamanda Weston, FCS Agent, at 798-1710 or lweston@utk.edu.

Good news…it isn’t Wednesday yet! You still have time to make those last minute orders in ALFN’s market.

Also, in the spirit of the first week of school, send me any recipe ideas for boxed lunches any of you use with ingredients purchased from ALFN’s market. Recipes can be suited for the office or the playground! I’ll post them next week for folks to use…ahem, and I’m shamelessly looking for good ideas for my kids:)

Champaign, OH:  In The Summertime


And I love to live so pleasantly…
Live this life of luxury…
Lazing on a sunny afternoon…
In the summertime…
(In The Summertime-The Kinks)

We are now in the middle part of August. Still plenty of summer days left, plenty of lazy days of sun, but then outside forces want to keep pushing our thoughts to fall.

Early back to school, fall decorations, Halloween displays…can we just have a minute and stop? Can we just love the warmth, the sun, the amazing produce that is coming to us, locally, in these last weeks of summer? Can we just celebrate the remaining long and sunny days?

One way to celebrate is by ordering, locally, through our market. Order the produce that will not be around much longer. Get to know seasonal, local produce. Get to know the farmers behind the produce. Get to know all of your local producers of locally produced meat, dairy, eggs, fish, baked goods, produce, dried herbs, garlic, cheese…get to know it all, right here, on a sunny afternoon, at this little local market of love…

It is now Tuesday evening. The market will close for the week at 10pm! You need to think about your orders, get your account pulled up, and then begin the weekly ordering, shopping, that helps you support local while taking the stress out of your week…

You have until 10pm…go, make it happen!! Keep the summertime alive with ordering all of the produce that won’t be around for much longer!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
