Greetings
from Bluebird Farm,
Saturday Farmers Markets tomorrow.
Conover 7:30 am til noon
Morganton 8 am til noon
We have
pork again this week. Country sausage, Italian sausage links, ground Italian
sausage
Try a fancy tomato sandwich. Well, not fancy, just garden fresh. Toast your bread lightly and spread your
favorite savory goat cheese on one or both sides of the bread. Sprinkle chopped leaves of fresh basil over
the goat cheese, layer sliced garden tomatoes, and add a dash of salt and fresh
black pepper. Serve on a plate with salted
chopped cucumbers.
This week’s garden
harvest
Cherry tomatoes- little gems of
sunshine. Intense flavors. Yellow, red,
gold, black-purple tomatoes.
Slicing tomatoes- Wow. The prima donnas of
the garden. Tomatoes can be finicky
little garden plants. But the vine
ripened flavor of an organic slicing tomato is worth it!
Basil! Oh, the basil. The aroma of
summer! Try a fancy tomato sandwich. See the sandwich idea above.
Bell peppers, Sweet Bell- no synthetic
chemicals. Peppers are another
item that is on the Dirty Dozen list for conventional produce that is sprayed
heavily with pesticides and fungicides.
Cucumbers- Sweet and crunchy. Get your
cucumber fix- the cucumber season is now, not in October-May.
Summer Squash and Zucchini- Flavor! We’ve got some tasty varieties. Nutty, firm, with a tender texture. We’ve got 5 different types of squash and
zucchini for you. Choose from, Slik, Goldy, Parthenon, and Zephyr.
Pastured Pork- Country sausage,
Italian sausage links, and ground Italian sausage.
Pastured Chicken- Free range on
grass pastures, fed certified organic grains. Flavorful and tender.
-Whole chickens
-Packs
of 2 leg quarters and 2 wings
Pastured Free Range Eggs- All our animals
are fed certified organic grains. Our
hens love the color red. Red means juicy
tomatoes! Any tomatoes with cracks or splits that won’t ripen properly get
flung into the hen pasture- and they go wild.
Our forest pigs are enjoying the forest jungle!
