Hi BFM Fans,
Grassroots Gourmet will be at market on Sunday. And in recognition of Reid's vast apple selection, they are demonstrating their fabulous APPLE CAKE. And you will not only learn how to make it, but you will be able to taste it as well. Chef Demo. Sarah and Jamilyah. 11-12:30.
Also, do not forget about the Common Good Night on the Farm next week, October 3rd. Food, music and gardening classes. Chat them up at the table at the market Sunday. They have come back for two weeks.
Bike Clinic, free of course, run by our friends from The Bike House. This is perfect biking weather.
Goat Meat at Painted Hand. Did you know that goat meat is incredibly healthy for you.? Check out the comparison chart at the stand for the deets. Sandy has all the cuts and a million recipes to go with the: premium kebab cubes cut from the hind legs, full-saddle loin chops (sometimes called 'butterfly chops'), shanks & shoulders which are great for braising in Reids' cider and very meaty bones that will make awesome stew and curry. Sausages include all-goat breakfast links and spicy chorizo. Rose veal returns in late October. And, of course, fresh pastured chicken eggs and all the Bloomingdogs' favorite treat--Liver Bits

REID: I keep raving about their selection of apples but that is only because it is unique. Honey crisps are everywhere but where else can you find Cox Pippins and other savory heirlooms with a great balance of savory and sweet? White peaches (Snow giant), Asian pears (Housi and Shinsheki), red Bartlett pears, seedless grapes, concord grapes, apples (ginger gold, Honeycrisp, gold supreme, Gala, Elstar, Pinova, Yataka, Early Fuji, McIntosh, Macoun, Jonagold, Jonamac, Jonathan, Ida Red, Smokehouse, Empire, Cox Orange Pippen and other heirloom apples), and cider (apple grape, apple cherry, Honeycrisp and regular apple).
Mountain View: Eat your greens this week: Kale, Chard, Beets, Arugula, Radish Greens. Salad greens. Beautiful easter egg radishes, green beans, sweet potatoes, delicata, acorn and butternut squash. Sweet Hakurei turnips. Do not forget the baby ginger and Thai ginge (Galangal) Galangal and Ginger and Garlic are half of what you need for a great Thai curry paste.
Squash TIPS: Delicata is great for risotto or ravioli. Blue Hubbard makes wonderful soup and try a butternut squash pie.
Keswick Creamery: Mixed milk Camembert. Alpine Tommes: rind washed weekly in Troeg beers. The best yogurt, cream cheese that Philadelphia is crying for, aged raw milk cheeses, fresh pasturized ones. All from grass fed Jersey cows.
Panorama: It is definitely the season for pumpernickel breads. Cheese and roasted red peppers go well with it. Good with soups, too. Baguettes, rustiques, multigrain rolls, olive oil rolls (for hamburgers or that great tunafish salad sandwich, pan bagnat

Whisked!: Cranberry Apple Pie, Salted Caramel Apple, Mexican Chocolate Cream. The first Sweet Poato Pie of the seasosn. Kale and Feta Quiche. I always mention the pies, but the cookies are very good too and I bring a packet of them to dinners instead of wine. Try the nutella or the cowboy pretzel cookies..
