Hi BFM Fans,

We are very excited that Luke Hall is joining us this Sunday for a market chef demo.  You may remember that Luke was the first market manager of 14&U FM and after he jumped to the producer side, he ran the North Mountain Pastures Stand at both markets. He worked on their farm, learning about animal husbandry, charcuterie and fermented foods. He was passionate about fermented foods.  (He came up with the idea of using pickle juice for cocktails.) And you may see him helping out Shawna and Mountain View Organics from time to time. 
 
Luke is from Kentucky where his love of cooking and all things farms and farmers markets started. He is a wonderful market-inspired cook whose dishes reflect his travels and his work over years with refugees all around the world. One current project is his supper club, Luke's Kitchen Pop Up Cost Share.  Check out his fb page here. 

What's new this week:

strawberry lemonpie


WHISKED! has brought back their classic June Lemon Strawberry Pie. And here is why they love it:
  1. It is a classic summer flavor that no one says no to.
  2. The strawberry swirl on lemon yellow is just so pretty --so impress your guests with it.
  3. It loves to be served at room temperature or even chilled -- so it makes a refreshing dessert after a hot day
  4. It creates the perfect harmony between tart and sweet.  Not much sugar in the lemon filling so the lemon is a star, dancing with the homemade strawberry compote
  5. It is the best of American baking- simple but stunning.  Just 6 ingredients: lemon juice, eggs, sugar, butter, flour and local strawberries.
  • REID: Strawberries, plants, a handful of apples and sugar snap peas this weekend-- and maybe the first sweet cherries.
  • GARNER: Green frying tomatoes, skinny green and yellow wax beans, new potatoes.
  • NUMBER 1 SONS: Last two weeks for the Spring Ramp Kraut.  All the cucumber pickles are back.

NUMBER1 SONS:  Caitlin says: "Customers tell me they are eating the Spring Ramp Kraut with fish, eggs, tacos and race bowls. Fish and kraut? Who woud've thought, but the dill ties it all together nicely." Don't miss the spicy Kicky Koshers, my personal fave last week.
KESWICK CREAMERY: Spend some time with Sara Kelley whose goats provide the milk for the goat and mixed milk cheeses. She is a cheesemaker with Melanie at Keswick and this week she is bringing their brand new cow's milk Romano for the first time.  Romano in Italy is called Pecorino Romano and is made of sheep's mil but in North America, it is usually a cow's milk cheese and called Romano.  This website shows a very nice step by step series of photos that shows you how it is made.
