Market Notes

A hearty THANK YOU to all who braved the weather to pick up their Easter orders on Good Friday. Your graciousness about being inconvenienced is most appreciated and confirms that Market customers are the BEST!

If you are a new customer, please know that our pickup location on the property of Dothan Nurseries is dependent on weather. We are usually outside in our shade tent on the south side of the Nursery, but will be inside the greenhouse if raining.

And a another THANK YOU to everyone who saves and brings their egg cartons to us. Most of them bless the farmers with chickens, and some wind up blessing preschool teachers who use them for various crafts. Either way they are not wasted and very appreciated!

The same goes for brown paper bags. Market bags are on shorter and shorter supply so if you have extras we’ll take them! And if you are new to the Market, we encourage you to donate TWO recyclable bags for your orders and rotate them from week to week. Your name goes on your bags and YOU are the only person who uses them.


EVER WONDER ABOUT YOUR MARKET GREENS?


If you’ve been eating any of the kale, collards, cabbage, lettuces, etc. for any length of time you are well aware of their superior quality. Greens are one of those foods that reward richly for growing them right! Many people think this is because of the variety, however it actually has everything to do with how we treat the soil. Sustainable agriculture respects that soil is a living breathing thing and treats it accordingly by refraining from using herbicides, pesticides, and chemicals such as ammonium nitrate which actually deplete it. Instead we employ natural methods of pest control, crop rotations, cover crops and natural fertilizers, in other words, we give it some love.

So enjoy your greens! The winter varieties will soon give way to summer crops and summer varieties will replace many of the lettuces we’ve enjoyed all winter. Know that no matter what “green thing” you eat, that you are doing yourself good.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR
Dothan Nurseries Spring Open House is Thursday, MAY 5. Our wonderful vendors will be on site for you to meet and get to know better. Pickup for Market orders will take place then instead of Friday mornings as well. Come view all the wonderful things at the Nursery and spend some time with your local Market at Dothan suppliers! This is always a fun and festive occasion and we can’t wait!



EASTER FUN FACTS
Each year, candy manufacturers produce more than 90 million chocolate Easter bunnies for Easter.
Traditionally Easter falls on the first Sunday following the full moon after spring equinox, however because the lunar calendar does not follow the Gregorian calendar the date varies and falls between March 22 and April 25.
“Up From the Grave He Arose” is the most popular song in church services at Easter.
Studies prove that 76% of Americans will eat the ears on chocolate bunnies first.
During the medieval times, a festival of egg throwing was held in church, during which the priest would throw a hard-boiled egg to one of the choirboys. It would then be tossed from one choirboy to the next and whoever held the egg when the clock struck 12 was the winner and retained the egg
“Easter McDonald New” was Roslyn’s paternal grandmother.

Farm to Table Information

EATING “CLEAN” DURING SPECIAL OCCASIONS


1. Plan Ahead. By planning your “clean” food meal you won’t be easily tempted to indulge in a processed product.
2. Make it yourself. That way there’s not doubt what is in it.
3. Choosing whole wheat or whole grain breads over white is one of the easiest ways to stick to your “clean” diet.
4. Make your vegetable side dishes as attractive as your main entrée by using fresh, wholesome, seasonal produce.
5. Small plates are essential because they help keep portion size under control and calorie overload to a minimum. This is particularly important when temptation is everywhere.
6. Resist the urge to “save up” your calories and skip meals in lieu of a big feast. The practice leads to overeating and making poor food choices.
7. Clean eaters focus on fresh, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and poultry prepared without loads of fat, sugar, and salt. But, when it comes to special occasions it’s okay to indulge a little. The key is to choose a small amount (think about taking a “taste”) and make sure the food is worth the extra calories.
8. Don’t Ditch Dessert. Don’t deprive yourself just because you’re eating clean. Make desserts that highlight fresh whole fruit and search for lightened-up recipes of more traditional dishes.

Please, share your recipes with us on the website, on the Recipes tab. We’d all love to know how you use your Market at Dothan Locally Grown products, so we can try it too!

MORE ABOUT EGGS
If you’re like me, as Easter approaches you smile at fond memories of decorating eggs for those old fashioned egg hunts, all the while thinking about doing the same thing for the little ones in your life. Fortunately we’re not limited to the old Paas egg kits anymore and there are many ways to both decorate eggs, and use them once the festivities end. Rather than go into a gazillion things you can do with eggs, following are some fun and informative links you may enjoy in preparation for the upcoming holiday. Blessings to all, Ros

CRUSTLESS ASPARAGUS QUICHE


If you are watching carbohydrates and calories, but want high protein, you really can’t do much better than this quiche.  You’ll be getting a lot of vitamins as well.  This delicious quiche is high in vitamins C, A, K, iron, and folate. Making it crustless cuts out a lot of carbs and calories. Using more egg whites than yolks cuts down on the cholesterol and fat, while still supplying 7 grams of protein per serving. Not too bad for just 72 calories a slice!


Yield: 8 servings | Serving Size: 1 slice | Calories: 72 | Total Fat: 3 g | Saturated Fat: 2 g | Trans Fat: 0 g | Cholesterol: 49 mg | Sodium: 120 mg | Carbohydrates: 3 g | Dietary Fiber: 1 g | Sugars: 2 g | Protein: 7 g | SmartPoints: 2 |


2 cups sliced asparagus
6 egg whites
2 whole eggs
1/3 cup diced onion
1/2 cup (low-fat) feta cheese, optional parmesan cheese
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Kosher or sea salt to taste


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and pour into a quiche pan or 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake at 350° for approximately 45 minutes or until filling is set.

Spotlight on EGGS
We are happy to have several growers that produce fresh eggs from healthy happy chickens who enjoy sunshine, fresh air, green grass, vegetable scraps and scratching for what God gives them. With Easter coming in a few weeks it’s a good time to think about stocking up on eggs because FRESH EGGS DO NOT BOIL WELL. Actually they boil just fine, but peeling them is a different story.
Most of the Market eggs are brown in color. One of the wonderful things about brown eggs is that you can create beautiful Easter Eggs with them just as easy as white ones, and brown eggs produce prettier colors: they’re earthy and less garish than the stark colors on white eggs.
For our customers who have their own chickens, you’ll want to make sure to thoroughly wash your eggs if you choose to dye them. Especially when you have your own hens, you’ll need to wash the eggs before dyeing… not because they’re dirtier than commercial eggs, but because they’re cleaner. Strange, huh? Eggs laid by your own hens still have the “bloom” on them, which is a natural barrier left by the hens to keep eggs fresh. Often, grocery store eggs must be washed (sometimes in chemical solutions containing chlorine or lye (yuck)because of the unsanitary conditions they’re laid in, so commercial eggs will already be missing the bloom. Your eggs will not have been treated this way, which is a good thing in most cases… but in the case of dyeing eggs, unfortunately the bloom can interfere with the process, so be sure to wash and dry your eggs first. If you have to use grocery store eggs, we’d also recommend washing them, mostly to remove any chemicals used to “clean” them, but also because some factory farm eggs are coated with mineral oil, double yuck. More about eggs next week . . . .

Farm to Table Recipes

ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH LAVENDER & ROSEMARY


This roast leg of lamb is rubbed with the classic combo of rosemary and garlic, but gets an unexpected twist with the addition of chopped fresh lavender. It’s served with a sweet-and-sour shallot jam made from dates, honey and apple cider vinegar. foodandwine.com

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup minced rosemary
3 tablespoons minced fresh lavender leaves. If unavailable, substitute 1 1/2 tablespoons herbes de Provence.
4 garlic cloves, grated
One 3 1/2-pound boneless leg of lamb


Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 medium shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar


Freshly ground black pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 450°. In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup of the olive oil with the rosemary, lavender and garlic. Season the lamb all over with salt and pepper. Rub half of the herb oil all over the inside of the lamb, then roll up the meat and tie with kitchen string to form a neat roast. Spread the remaining herb oil all over the roast and set it on a rimmed baking sheet.


2. Roast the lamb for about 15 minutes, until just starting to brown. Reduce the oven temperature to 375° and roast the lamb for about 1 hour longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 130° for rare meat. Transfer the lamb to a carving board and let rest for 30 minutes.

br>

3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering. Add the shallots, dates, honey and a pinch of salt and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened, about 7 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the jam is thick, 3 to 5 minutes; season with salt and let cool. The shallot-date jam can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving with the roast leg of lamb.


4. Untie the lamb roast and slice the meat against the grain. Serve with the shallot-date jam.

Farm to Table Recipes

PORK, APPLE & SAGE MEATLOAF


Recipe recommended by Sandspur Farms from culinaryginger.com

2 large sweet apples, cored, peeled and grated
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup day old bread, ground into breadcrumbs in the food processor
1/2 cup milk
2 pounds ground pork (Sandspur Farms)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten (Sandspur Farms or Kathy’s Kluckers)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Organic Ketchup


Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap the grated apples in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as you can. To a mixing bowl add the apples, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, and leave for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes add the ground pork, oregano, basil, sage, egg, salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined. Turn out onto the baking sheet and mold into a meatloaf shape, about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide. Top with ketchup. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a thermometer when inserted into the center reaches 165 degrees F. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with ketchup.


Culinaryginger.com has a marvelous Apple Ketchup recipe that is recommended to be served with this recipe in lieu of traditional ketchup. It can be adapted to use Sandspur’s organic applesauce rather than fresh apples for anyone wanting the total taste experience.

Farm to Table Recipes

KALE WITH SAUSAGE & WHITE BEANS


Curly kale is shown for this recipe, but you could use any kale, as well as chard, turnip greens, beet greens, or collards. A splash of vinegar (sherry, red wine, cider) is a nice touch right at the end of cooking. Cajun type seasoning also works well with this when using regular sausage.

1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb bulk sweet Italian Sausage or other sausage (use gluten free sausage if cooking gluten free)
1 onion sliced thin (about 1 ½ cup sliced onion
2 large garlic cloves sliced thin
1 pound kale (1 large bunch), center thick rib removed, leaves roughly chopped
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1 15 oz. Can of white beans, rinsed and drained
salt and pepper
1. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat and add the sliced onions. Caramalize onions, pour into dish and set aside. Add bulk sausage. If you can’t find bulk sausage, slice the sausage into bite size chunks. Cook till done and add to bowl with onions. Add the garlic, cook for another minute and add to onions and sausage.


2. Add kale to the pan or wok. Sprinkle salt over everything, then add the stock. Cover the pan, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, partially cover with a lid and cook for 2 minutes.


3. Uncover, add onion, sausage and garlic to the kale. Mix everything well (the kale will have cooked down by now) and add the beans. Cover the pot again and lower the heat to low. Cook another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.

*VENDOR SPOTLIGHT*
HORTON’S FARM
Horton’s Farm was born from a deep desire to live simply and sustainably, and to help others in their quest to do the same. We have grown into a green  family owned business in sunny south Alabama. Unique creations from honest ingredients for real people – that is what we do and that is who we are. No generic agribusiness factory here – just beehives, herbs, flowers, vegetables, chickens, horses, pets and  the occasional dirt eating kid.  Our tasty, beautiful and healthful items reflect our core values of  excellence, sustainable living, education and simplicity.  All products  originate from our chemical free beehives and/or sustainable gardens, and each small batch artisinal product is made with great care to help you live life to its fullest.
The farm started when “Mama Roz” as some call her, started keeping honeybees fifteen years ago. Mama Roz has gone on to become a Master Beekeeper and is currently a board member of the Alabama Beekeepers Association. While all this was going on, the Mr. at the farm developed methods to successfully cultivate and produce the raspberries and rhubarb he missed from his childhood in Oregon. Sustainable fruit, berry and some vegetable production is now a standard part of the farm operation.

*VENDOR SPOTLIGHT*
CHARTER SPICE & OIL
Charter Spice and Oil company began with offering the Wiregrass infused Oils and Vinegars in many rich and exotic flavors. (It is the BEST on Market salad greens.) As the business has transitioned to its permanent location in Taj Restaurant, they have also been able to offer high quality seasonings and many healthy food products. Flavored Oils and Vinegars remain the main thrust of the business.
Olives are the oldest cultivated fruit in the world. Olive oil has been used for thousands of years for everything from skin care to an antibiotic. There are many health benefits using Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Studies show it lowers blood cholesterol,  has omega 3’s, lowers blood pressure, contains anti-oxidants, vitamin E, mono and polyunsaturated fats, and more. The olive oil Charter carries is sent to an independent lab as soon as it enters the country. This ensures that the it is extra virgin olive oil and only that.
Balsamic Vinegar has documentation going back to the year of 1046. It was used as gifts to kings and emperors. The grape juice used is unfermented, called “must”, therefore balsamic vinegar in not a wine vinegar. Studies have shown balsamic vinegar can reduce atherosclerosis, and hardening of the arteries, and can normalize blood pressure levels. It keeps you feeling full longer and has anti-oxidants. Some local customers use it to keep blood sugar levels down, something that seems to be common knowledge among health care professionals.

Farm to Table Recipes

MARKET CHILI


1 1/2 cup dried kidney beans (Charter)
1/4 lb sliced bacon cut in 1 inch pieces
1 lb ground beef (Smith Farms & Sandspur)
2-3 carrots, chopped (about 1 cup) (Sandspur)
1 large green bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoon no-salt-added chili powder (Charter)
1/2 tablespoon cumin (Charter)
2 cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon sea salt


Sort through beans and remove and discard any small stones or debris. In a large bowl, cover beans by 3 inches with cold water, cover and set aside at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.
Drain soaked beans and transfer to a large pot. Cover by 2 inches with cold water and bring to a boil; skim off and discard any foam on the surface. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, gently stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain beans and set aside.
In a large pot over medium-high heat, saute bacon, carrots and onion, garlic & pepper. Carrots should be a bit soft and the onions clear. Remove and set aside. Add ground beef to bacon drippings and brown. Add bacon and veggies, beans, seasonings & tomatoes to the pot with the ground beef and cook about 45 minutes for flavors to blend. Add additional water and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve with cornbread or corn chips. Optional to garnish with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and/or cilantro
