Farm Market Continues in Winter - New Items - Specials

The summer outdoor farm market has come to a close, BUT the Indoor Winter Farm Market will start a new season this weekend November 3rd.

Inside the City Center at 100 College Ave.  from 8:00am to 12:30.

It will span for 2 blocks, just inside the building.  Booths cover the center lobby area and up and down the wide halls of the east and west wing with 40 to 45 booths.  This year one of the vacant shops is rented to hold additional booths.

Venneford Farm Country Meats

will be in the center lobby area near the elevator where were last year.

We carry the same full line of Beef, Pork, Chicken and Goat with sausage, lunch meat, brats and special items that we had at the outdoor summer farm market.

NEW  ITEMS

Beef treats for your pet.  We have already had the smoked or raw bones for dogs for years.  Now we will also have Beef treats made by Turtle Pond Bakery that we will sell at our booth.  We will have the beef ones this weekend but hope to add a few other flavors over the next few weeks.

SPECIALS

We will have samples of the Apple Cinnemon pork breakfast sausage links.

And they will be on special Nov. 3.

Harvest Pork Stew

 

Ingredients 

 recipe makes 6 servings

 

2 tablespoons butter or oil

1 1/2 pounds boneless pork, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (Our pork stir fry works great for this)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cups chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage

1 bay leaf

3 cups frozen, cubed butternut squash

2 MacIntosh apples, cored and cubed

2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed (optional)

2 cups carrots, peeled and diced (optional)

 

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Stir in the garlic and onion, and continue to cook until the onion has softened, and the pork is firm, and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
2. Place the pork and onions into a large saucepan. Pour in the chicken broth, and season with salt, rosemary, sage, and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Stir in the butternut squash, apples, potatoes, and carrots. Return to a simmer, then cook, uncovered until the squash and apples are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and serve.

A Day Off

Hello

It is so nice to have a day off.  Other than Octoberfest this is the only other Saturday I have had off since June.  But, I feel bad that I am not there for my customers.

My husband farms by day and drives semi by night.  He got home from work at 3:00am today, that is the time I get up to get ready for the farmers market, and he said it was pouring out.
I don't mind loading the freezers in the van when it is misting or sprinkling, but I can't do it when it is pouring.  Even if I cover the boxes, they get damp and that is what causes frost in the freezers.

So, since I am home today, I will get a head start on entering all my farm records (sales and expenses) into the computer to get ready for tax season.

CHECKING  FOR  SOMETHING  NEW

I love it when I see that people are checking to see if I wrote something new for the upcoming farm market.  But, I feel bad when I realize they are checking early in the week so they are seeing what I wrote for the week before.  Please continue to check, but I would like to let you know that to be on the safe side, check Thursday night.

I am going to try to put some information on here more often.  I have some big ideas on what I would like to add, recipes, nutrition info, charts, pictures from the farm.  I just keep running out of time.

Rain this weekend

Hello

NO I will not be at the farm market tomorrow due to the rain all day.

I will be back next weekend.

See you next week.
