Subject: There were no lines Sunday-- Pre order Reminder

Hi Everyone,

Remember we are always open rain or shine.  (If it rains, bring an umbrella and your rain gear -- no standing under the tents right now)

      LOTS OF GOOD NEWS This Week : 

There were really no lines to get into BFM Sunday at the (sole) entrance at R and Florida--

****Welcome our NEW PRODUCER: Shenandoah Seasonal has joined the market: You can order online here or shop at their stand in the market.  Read about Ali and Dan (and baby Leena) and their fascinating journey into farming back in Virginia here.   Look for a second email about them.*****
 

*****Number 1 Sons stand will be staffed again —their fabulous ferments are no longer by pre-order only but it helps them a lot if you do pre order.  They will be staffed by Haley at the stand on Sunday with their most popular pickles, ferments and kimchi in prepacks.*****

Pre Order for other producers is not mandatory but it helps make shopping quicker and minimizes contact.  It also helps the producers plan and guarantees that you will get popular products. You will have plenty at the market. It is your choice.

THE  DUMPLING STAND HAS CHANGED ITS PREPAID, PRE ORDER TO THURSDAY 10 PM.   It helps them plan if you pre order today.

The apples and pears have been in controlled atmosphere storage to keep them crisp and fresh. Fruit butters, no sugar applesauce and canned peaches. Apple Cider in 1/2 gallon sealed growlers.  If you have not had canned peaches since you were a kid, try them!

Plants: last week for tomatoes, last week for squash, zucchini.
Flowers: last week for  marigolds

CUCINA AL VOLO: Good pasta weather Sunday. Matteo and Rolando make the pastas and sauces and eggplant parm and lasagna for both their three restos and the markets.  IF there is a specialty you want to see at market, tell them! All these homemade pastas love to wait for you in your freezer but cook up from frozen to place in less than 5 minutes  (okay, the lasagna takes longer).  I keep at least three different pasta in my freezer at all time -- two ravioli and something else.   Remember the green kale fusilli makes the best pasta salad.  The spirals catch all the bits of vegetable and cheese and chopped herbs.
 

Here is this week's list:

• Burrata ravioli
• Spinach and ricotta ravioli 
• Beef brisket and Parmesan ravioli
• Roasted butternut squash and mascarpone ravioli 
• Egg fettuccine 
• Smoked paprika pappardelle
• Green kale fusilli 
• Squid ink chitarra 
• Egg strozzapreti
• Hand made potato gnocchi 
• Eggplant Parmesan (Take and Bake)
• Beef lasagna (Take and Bake)

SAUCES:

• Pesto
• Lamb ragu 
• Bolognese sauce 
• Cherry tomato sauce
• Wild mushroom sauce 
• Eggplant sauce 

Yes, one more favorite producer is rejoining the market next week.
