Worthington Farmers Market: February 23rd

“The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard.”

Joel Salatin, Folks, This Ain't Normal: A Farmer's Advice for Happier Hens, Healthier People, and a Better World

Worthington Farmers Market: February 9th

“One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.”

Luciano Pavarotti

Won't you be our valentine?


There are plenty of gift options for Valentine's Day... A card, roses, chocolate... But how about something delicious (and local) from the Worthington Farmers Market? Here are a few things we recommend for your valentine this year.

Wake your sweetie with the smell and taste of locally roasted coffee from Sliver Bridge Coffee Company. Their Salted Caramel or Dark Chocolate Cherry make a great addition to any Valentine gift. Or maybe you've had your eye on a certain someone... How about a bag of Jamaican Me Crazy!

And who doesn't love sweets? Say it all with Valentine Sugar Cookies from Sassafras Bakery. Choose elegant cupids and hearts, or sweet ‘n sassy pastel conversation hearts that deliciously share your feelings! Cookies not your things? Try a Chocolate Raspberry Mini Tart to share, or a Kiss Cake. Kiss Cakes are moist red velvet cakes and cinnamon buttercream dipped in rich dark chocolate.

We also have cupcakes and other confections from Jenn’s Cupcakes & Confections. Why not try a
Coconut Caramel Macchiato or Red Raspberry Chocolate Ganache cupcake, or a Chocolate Covered Oreos in Valentine’s Day themes.

Making dinner for someone special? Visit Oink Moo Cluck for a fine selection of steaks or Speckled Hen for Cornish Hens.

And when dinner's over, finish with a homemade gourmet brownie from The Brown and Blond Bakery! Kathy's Dark Chocolate Brownies are so easy to make, super moist, and have wonderful flavor. When serving, place the brownie on the plate and top it with a dollop of Snowville's Creme Fraiche and your sweetie's favorite fresh berries. (And depending on serving size, this dessert can be under 300 calories!)

Happy Valentine's Day from the Worthington Farmers Market!

Worthington Farmers Market: February 2nd

When your Super Bowl guests arrive, they should find a mound of potato chips large enough to conceal a pony sitting in front of the television. For nutritional balance, you should also put out a bowl of carrot sticks. If you have no carrot sticks, you can use pinecones, or used electrical fuses, because nobody will eat them anyway. This is no time for nutritional balance: This is the Super Bowl, for God's sake.”

Dave Barry

RECIPES

Shagbark Seed & Mill Black Bean Dip

15 ounce) Shagbark Seed & Mill Organic Black Turtle Beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup mild picante sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Place black beans in a medium size mixing bowl, partially mash beans--beans should remain a little chunky. In a medium size frying pan, heat oil over a medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic and saute for 4 minutes. Mix beans, corn, tomato, picante sauce, cumin, and chili powder into the frying pan; cook for 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove the pan from the heat, mix in cheese, cilantro and lime juice; stir until cheese is melted.


The Pie Man's Pepperoni Rolls

2 pkg. active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
9-10 cups of flour (depending on consistency)

Dissolve yeast in warm water and add remaining ingredients. Mix well, knead & knead the dough thoroughly. Let dough rise once, then cut a 3 inch portion of dough with kitchen shears. Flatten each piece with palm of hand. Lay two pieces of pepperoni on dough and roll as a jelly roll. Press ends together and let rise a second time on greased cookie sheet. If rolls tend to separate, press ends together before baking. Bake until golden brown at 350 degrees. Brush baked rolls with beaten egg for a glossy appearance (if desired).

1 (15.5oz) can or 1½ Cups cooked pinto or kidney beans
1 Cup frozen corn
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Heat olive oil on medium heat in a large saucepan. Add vegetables and saute until soft. Crumble burgers into pan and saute for a few more minutes. Add water, crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, add beans and corn and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Garnish with some fresh cilantro and avocado and serve. Serves 4-6
