The Wednesday Market: In Case You Missed It - The Market is Open!
Good evening, all. In case you missed it, at 1:33 p.m. today, I posted the weekly weblog that The Wednesday Market is open. The notice was also posted via Facebook.
Judging by the lack of orders that have been received thus far, it appears that my message did not post properly. So, at the risk of some of you receiving two notices today, here it goes:
The Wednesday Market is open. Please place your orders by 10 p.m. on Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. Wednesday. Please check the website for this week’s listings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market
Please know that whether or not you receive a weblog post, the system is ALWAYS turned on before Sunday at 7 a.m. (usually about midnight on Saturday). To get to the Market without using a link, you can Google “The Wednesday Market” in your Search bar. Our market appears at the very top of the list.
Thank you for your support of local agriculture and thank you for choosing to buy locally. We look forward to filling your orders this week.
See you Wednesday!
Thanks,
Beverly

We invite you to take a good look at The Market this week.

Recipes
Sweet Potato Tian
adapted from customer Teresa Blackburn’s blog"Foodonfifth.com"
Ingredients:
4 sweet potatoes
2 large or 4 small shallots sliced
1/4 cup good olive oil
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded white Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
fresh or dried thyme leaves
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wash and pat dry the sweet potatoes. Peel using a vegetable peeler and trim ends flat. Slice each into “coins” about 1/4 inch thick.
Toss sweet potato slices in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt & pepper until well coated.
In a “tian” (shallow earthenware casserole dish) scatter sliced shallots over the bottom and then the slices of sweet potatoes until the dish is filled.
Scatter thyme leaves over all. Cover dish with a sheet of foil.
Bake for 20 minutes covered. Uncover & sprinkle Cheddar & Gruyere over the top.
Return to the oven, raising the temp to 400 degrees. Bake for about 20-30 more minutes until the potatoes are “knife” tender and the cheeses are melted and just a bit bubbly. Serve immediately or set aside and cover loosely with foil for up to 30 minutes.
Market News
Hello!
The holiday season is officially upon us, as this week marks the beginning of Hanukkah. We wish everyone a wonderful Festival of Lights!
This will be our last delivery before the New Year. We will be off Wednesday December 24th and Wednesday December 31st. We plan on starting up again the following week, so look out for an email on January 4th announcing delivery for Wednesday January 7th. We assume weather will cooperate, but who knows?
Please stock up this week in anticipation of our 2 weeks off. Now is the time to buy your main course meats for Holiday dinners! The eggs, cheese, root veggies and sweet potatoes, and even some of the greens, will last a good while. The pumpkin-cranberry loaf from Dozen Bakery freezes well, and would be a great addition to Christmas week.
We have GREAT items available for gift giving, including Fresh Harvest Gift Certificates! They are up on the Market page this week. We also have back with us soap and lip balm from Little Seed Farm. Other great gift items are Barrel-Aged Honey from Tru Bee Honey, and Country Faire English Toffee. The Bloomy Rind has an AMAZING selection of cheeses available, and who would not like some cheese?!
If we don’t see you on Wednesday, we wish you a very Merry Holiday Season. May your coming days be filled with much love and joy! And best wishes to all of us for a healthy and peace – full New Year ahead.
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee

United States Virgin Islands: VI Locally Grown Market: Week of December 14, 2014
Good afternoon!
The VI Locally Grown market is open for orders. Thanks for supporting your local farmers and craft makers!
Don’t miss out on Ridge to Reef farm’s mouthwatering mango fed local organic pork cuts, available for purchase at the market.
The new location for the market is a beautiful experience within itself. If you haven’t had a chance to see the Lawaetz Museum property at Little La Grange on Mahogany road, the market is a great opportunity to support your local farmers and enjoy the a local heritage site for St. Croix.
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, Week of Dec 14 2014
Yes, another mild spell is upon us, no snow and no frost in the ground. Normal for this time of year is -2 to -6dC, which is forecast to catch up with us by mid week.
I have the Old 99 pork now in the freezer: cuts include loin chops, butt chops, side ribs, bacon, smoked hams, picnic roast, smoked hocks, fresh hocks and feet, lard, sausage and ground. A half pig provides about 65 lb of meat, at about 15 discount from buying the same mix of cuts at retail.
Also have 50 stewing hens now in the freezer; these are my two year old layers and some Sussex roosters. Price is $7/kg most weight around 2kg.
We continue to have a good selection of greens and root vegetables.
Next thurs is last market day before Christmas, will do a market on Sat Dec 27th. If you need something special or in a hurry, feel free to call.
In the area of food education, I just received three new dvds: Fed Up (sugar in our food causing epidemic scale havoc with our metabolism), GMO OMG, about yes, genetically molested foods and why it’s a problem (suited to family viewers) and Genetic Roulette (we haven’t viewed this one yet). If you would like to borrow any of these, just let me know.
Healthy eating,
Ian and Camelia.
