Saturday Market Menu for August 21, 2021

We’re back for the next 2 weeks! We had a flurry of catering which has kept us away from market temporarily. We will have another flurry in september, so catch us when you can. Tomorrow’s menu embraces as many summer flavors as I could fit in. Starting with my favorite bean, black beans. We roasted up local raised peppers from Plowbreak farm. We made a nice sauce to cook the black beans in along with a beautiful Salsa de tomato (tomatoes freshly picked today by Andrew Parker) that my friend Erika and I created in the last minute today. Very, very summery in flavor. Erika, raised in Peru, shared stories of snacking on tomatoes as an after school treat. Simply sprinkled with salt. Her mother created wonderful salsa’s that graced their family meal. If you’re going to indulge in eating tomatoes, now is the time to do it. Many just freshly picked off the vine. Kissed by the sun and full of flavor. Corn, get enough right now. I always vow to eat as much corn as I can in this short season. So for tomorrow meal we have the following;

Corn Grit Triangles

Black beans in a smokey sauce of peppers & lime

Charred corn salad with ume, red onion, fire roasted poblanos

Green beans with sauteed shiitake, pepita’s & a Lime-cumin vinaigrette

Fresh cabbage slaw with apple, kohlrabi, mint, lime

Remembrance fresh organic greens with Lemon poppyseed dressing

Once again we will miss you at market tomorrow. A wedding for a happy couple with a variety of treats from some of of favorite farms, Remembrance, Plowbreak, Muddy Fingers, Blue Heron, Andrew Parker and Brownies will grace this couples table tomorrow night. We will be back when we can all gather again as a crew. It will be a little spotty since staff have extended themselves in different directions. All destined to share their talents with others. And why not? One thing Covid has shown us, patience! Next time we meet you’ll be able to enjoy some of our lacto-fermented pickled cucumbers using a beautiful Fleur de sel. Some of younger miso’s will be ready for sale. We will most likely return on August 21. Until then, happy birthday to Yvonne and myself!

Saturday Market Menu for July 24, 2021

Who can deny this is one of the best times of the year to create a menu. Especially a dessert menu based on seasonal fruits. We peek into the walkin and ask, Sour cherries, blueberries, this gorgeous crate of apricots or early peaches? So much to choose from. The green beans (my favorite vegetable) has arrived along with sweet corn. Wellsprings Farms checks in every week to make sure we have plenty of mushrooms. It feels so alive and fresh. We have had plenty of rain so if your garden looks like mine it is over running with potential. Finally the warmth of some dryer days will bring the actuality of fruit bearing buds. Our menu is a little spicy, a little bitter, a little lighter and absolutely delicious. As always we embrace the seasonality of what nature brings aware that the energetic quality will support us through all it’s changes. We thank the following farms for all their work in helping to bring this menu to you. Plowbreak Farms, Remembrance Farms, Mudding Fingers, Andrew Parker and Brownies farmstand.

For this week’s menu we bring;

Platter of the Day

Ume Rice with garlic scapes, sweet corn & chives

Saturday Market Menu for June 12, 2021

Summer is quickly making itself known these past 2 weeks. A little early but I love heat. I love that the local farms are starting to offer a small array of veggies. Plowbreak Farm never disappoints with some of their early produce. Beautiful well tended veggies often make up the meal you are about to eat. Wellspring Farms has supplied us with mushrooms at just about every meal. Sorry David. I do think of you, always! Our salad greens come from Remembrance and Plowbreak Farms. Ask about our salad bowl if you want a really light yet filling meal. We will still bring down miso soup even on hot days. We use a light miso with seasonal veggies. As the season progresses our cooking style will lighten so the heat won’t feel so overwhelming. Fresh lightly cooked veggies will keep you hydrated on these oppressive days. If you would like to order your meal ahead of time shop at our market store. Otherwise we try to bring down enough to feed you all. Until then…
