Galax Farmers Market Last Weekend of the Season

This weekend is the last market of the season.  It's time to take stock, and think about what we can do differently and better next year.

Galax Farmers Market Sept 18 & 19

This weekend's market has few vendors, but some really delicious items you should get while you can!

Galax Farmers Market This Weekend!

Well, all this rain has certainly helped the turnips, radishes, carrots, beets,lettuce, arugula, and scallions to germinate.  At the same time, though, the moisture has spread blight all over my tomatoes, so c'est la vie, or whatever they say in France. :)  Luckily, our little market goes 'til Halloween this year, so there's time for lots of other vegs to strut their stuff!  The market news for August 28 & 29 follows.........

Your Recipes Wanted!

This time of year, we are all beginning to feel a little weary of the beans, squash, cucumbers and potatoes.  That's why I want to encourage you to share your favorite ways of preparing these seasonal foods with the rest of us.

Galax Farmers Market Fiddlers Weekend!

It sounds like we received plenty of rainfall this past week, and everyone coming to the market tomorrow and Saturday will have the produce to show for it

Galax Farmers Market July 25 & 26

Well, last weekend's market was strange and unusual.......after relocating during SOTM, rain showers Friday morning, and relocating again for Saturday, I felt dazed and confused!

Galax Farmers Market News July 17 & 18

While I submitted a  blurb to our local paper regarding the market relocation this weekend, it did not make it into Wednesday's edition.  I need your help:  Please tell everyone you know about the market this weekend!

Galax Farmers Market July 10 & 11

I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday week and is ready for another weekend!

Galax Farmers Market July 3 & 4

What a wonderful week- we could not have had better temperatures, more sunshine, or more bees busy pollinating away.  I had a busy week with animals around the farm:  a blue heron circling the pond, a raccoon ( at dusk; threw a rock at him), an aggressive rooster ( currently fertilizing an 'Aunt Rachel' apple tree), deer outside the bathroom window, baby bunnies in the garden, a groundhog in a neighboring field ( he stayed there, at least while I was visible), and as always, lots of bats and barn swallows in the evenings.  As a city kid, I continue to be surprised at the level of animal activity here in the sticks.

Galax Farmers Market June 26 & 27

It's officially summer now, and we'll have some fresh foods to enjoy raw or cooked and chilled in salads.

Power-Packed Cornbread

Here in the overcrowded Shoe, there is little point in cooking anything that isn't extremely nutritious.  I make a cornbread that's almost as high in protein as your average sirloin steak and loaded with fiber.  This is cornbread that will put hair on your chest, and even my brother the certifiable junk food junkie cannot get enough of it.  I usually begin with a trip to Yoder's Farm Market for egg white powder, raw sugar, and real corn meal (pure ground corn and nothin' but). 

You can also get Hodgson Mill brand non-degerminated corn meal at Food City in Galax, and JustWhites egg white powder, and raw (demaria) sugar, but all of these are cheaper at Yoder's.

My older son ran in the house yelling about the snapping turtle being caught in the pond.

Groundswell Farm Delivery 5/22/09

Sorry for the abbreviated note, but I'm catching up from the last two
weeks of rainy weather by cramming all the work into these few sunny
days.

From Your Friendly Neighborhood Vegetable Monger

All in all, this week has turned out all right!  After so much rainfall
last week, the garden is growing!

This week I'll be delivering as usual to the general Galax area, but
for you Grayson county people, I'll be at the Independence Farmers
Market on Saturday also.  It's from 8 until noon, and if you send me
your pre-order, I'll have it ready for you when you get there.
 

May Day! May Day!
