Citrus County Locally Grown:  April 23rd

Our growers thank you for supporting local growers and businesses. Your orders make a real difference

Capt Tim is back from vacation with his fresh – never frozen- seafood. And he has a NEW offering…a delectable crab salad. (And yes, I did put him back on the market…sorry about last week!)

Farm Fresh Eggs are 10% off in both 18 packs and dozens. Stock up now!
This week we have Microgreens (Arugula, Bok Choy, Mild Brassica, Spicy Brassica, Sunflower and Radish!) plus baby Collards, Baby Bok Choy and more of the wonderful Organic Blueberries!

Coffey Break Farm has eggs, goat milk and goat cheese. Please note: there is a 3 log minimum per person when ordering cheese; not to worry you’ll have too much…these freeze wonderfully. Flavors for this week are garlic basil, honey cranberry pecan, chocolate cherry, and Plain.

A reminder…COW MILK IS STILL AVAILABLE! Since we need to get our order to the farm on Tuesday, we will stop taking orders for milk, MONDAY NIGHT. Please place your orders early!

Augusta Locally Grown:  Weblog Entry

SIGN UP FOR THE BENDERDINKER!!!!!!
SATURDAY, APRIL 25 … We are truly honored to be the nonprofit beneficiary of this amazing & whimsical event. It’s all about kayaking/local food/local music and good, clean fun. Founder Kristina Williams has outdone herself with the addition of giant lawn games for our 4th annual. Oh, and there will be a beer garden to match. We are blessed with the dozens and dozens of volunteers who have signed up to make it all happen. Psyched to have the Soul City Sirens helping with land logistics. Grateful that Escape Outdoors has donated a beautiful paddleboard to raffle. Appreciative for the food donations & discounts we’ve received from farmers for river sampling. And thrilled that Slow Food CSR will be vending some pretty fantastic local food at the festival. So, go find yourself a river-worthy vessel, sign up, and support Augusta Locally Grown! www.benderdinker.com.

Joyful Noise Acres Farm:  Time to buy groceries.

The on line market is open for ordering.
This week we have many delicious baked goods, fresh bacon and sausage, loads of fresh beef in the freezer, a fresh shipment of organic butter and fresh herbs are coming in.
When cooking with fresh herbs, you will use more than if they were dried, but if you still have some left, let them dry on the lowest setting of your oven with the door cracked. Allow to cool then place in a sealable jar. Do not crush the leaves until you are ready to use the herb. They will retain more of the flavor.
Blessings and thank you for supporting locally grown.
