Spotlight on Producers: Truck Patch this week:
TRUCK PATCH FARMS–Kristen and Bryan Kerney and their kids farm their fifth generation farm on the hills at Sams Creek, New Windsor in Carroll County, Maryland, just an hour away if you drive up early on a Saturday morning. When I first met them in 2003, Bryan was a greens and vegetable grower but he developed a passion for raising pigs and chickens and turkeys over the years and now the farm is half veg, have meat. A lot of restaurants have developed a taste for their pork – ask Dino and Big Bear Café, for instance.
This week at Truck Patch: "Heirloom tomato Palooza!" Black Krim, Stripped German, Brandywine, Cherokee Purple are just a few of the heirlooms Bryan babies like a vineyard grower. Market red tomatoes are bountiful, as are Cherry Tomatoes in a rainbow of colors --the perfect sweet snack. Salad and greens central even when it is hot and steamy: Arugula, Mesclun, Spinach, Kale, Dino Kale, Swiss Chard plus beets, peppers, and eggplant Check out the summer squash - green and yellow Zucchini, Crookneck Squash, Pattypan Squash. Armenian cucumbers are always gentle. Garden Cucumbers and small pickling cucumbers too. Lots of Pre Pesto Fresh Basil! – now is the time to make pesto for the winter. Cantaloupes and Watermelons.
Welcome to Bryan’s Bacon Central: Bacon, Bacon, and more bacon thin and thick cut Sage sausage, maple sausage, Hot Italian, Sweet Italian, kielbasa , bratwurst.

KESWICK CREAMERY: Mark and Melanie’s dairy farm and creamery create handcrafted artisanal cheeses from cow and goat milk produced on their grass- based farm. in Newburg, Pennsylvania. 20 different aged raw milk and fresh pasteurized cheese include Alpine style tommes, cheddars, fetas, ricottas, yogurt, mixed milk “camemberts,” Austrian style cream cheese (quark), Dutch style Vermeer, and this year’s sell out Caporella – is it a burrata, a mozzarella? Taste and pair with you favorite tomatoes.
NUMBER 1 SONS: Fresh Half Sours are back. Add kimchi to your devilled eggs or egg salad. Adorn your grilled tubes or veg with various krauts. Even people who don’t like German Sauerkraut love the Central American variety, Rosetido. Did you know that pickle juice makes an awesome dirty martini. Just saying.

Sandwich breads, too. If they are out of a bread you crave, ask them to save one for you for next week. Late risers: they have lots of whole wheat, multi-grain and sourdough boules and loaves that sell out early. So reserve what you want! Email if you do not see something you want, please.
WHISKED: Nectarine Blueberry is new. Peach continues to be a customer fave. Apple Pies are back. Provencal ratatouille quiche as well as Kale and Feta. Lots of the best cookies, too. They make a great host(ess) gift…
