ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Reminder

Greetings Fellow Collective Taste Buds,

Remember to finalize your orders on the market before it closes tomorrow at noon.

I just received word from ABC Nature Greenhouse and Herb Farm that they have Oyster mushrooms ready for the Saturday market. They have two varieties of Oyster: Black and Pink. They have posted the produce on “What’s New,” but you can also find them on their grower site.

Happy Ordering!

This week’s CSA will likely include:

Tomatoes
Sweet and/or purple bell peppers
Cucumbers (and more squash if you want it ;)
Fisher Red sweet onions (from a farm seed saving project)

Champaign, OH:  Day In The Life Recipe!

So…not only do we get the latest installment of our market series, with Champaign Berry Farm, but Cathy also provided us with an amazing recipe, this week!

Thanks, Cathy…and thanks for being the spotlight vendor of the week in the Day series!!

Lemon-Almond Strata with Fresh Raspberries

1 lb. challah, brioche or soft French bread torn in bite-sized pieces

½ cup lemon curd (note- I googled to find a recipe for lemon curd since I could not find any in Urbana at the last minute)

1 cup fresh Champaign Berry Farm red or black raspberries plus more for serving

8 eggs beaten

4 cups milk (I used almond milk)

¼ cup sugar

1 tsp. almond extract

½ tsp. salt

1 cup slivered almonds

1/3 cup (or more depending on taste) Champaign Berry Farm Red or Black Raspberry Sauce

1. Lightly grease a 13 × 9 inch baking dish. Layer half of the bread in the pan. In small dollops, distribute lemon curd on top. Scatter the raspberries evenly over the top of the curd & bread. Layer remaining bread on top.

2. Wisk together eggs, milk, almond extract, salt and sugar. Pour over bread. Sprinkle with almonds. Cover pan and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover strata and bake for 60-65 minutes, until egg mixture is cooked through and almonds are toasted. Serve warm with Champaign Berry Farm Red or Black Raspberry Sauce and additional fresh raspberries.

Serves 8-10

Champaign, OH:  A Day In The Life

Hello, lovely little local market of love customers!! Can you believe it’s Monday? Can you believe that your market manager is just getting the Weblog out? Can you say that your market manager is still recovering, er, regrouping from her night in Columbus watching the simulcast of the Grateful Dead’s Farewell Tour? Yes…dancing, twirling, wine consumption, all equaled a very happy Fourth Of July weekend!!

So now…time to get my groove on!!

This week, we feature the story, and day in the life of the Pullins family of Champaign Berry Farm! Their farm is just up the road from my house, I have loved getting to know Cathy and Mike, and I loved reading their story…

So, here you go…the latest in the Days installments!!

Also, after reading, remember that the holiday weekend is over, the market is open, and it’s time to get those weekly orders ready!

Champaign Berry Farm, located on State Route 29 near Mutual, is a family run business featuring red raspberries, black raspberries and gooseberries. The farm started in 1993 as a Future Farmers of America project for the eldest son, Matt. At the time, Matt’s father Mike was the Executive Director of the Ohio Fruit Grower’s Society and was aware of the consumer demand for fresh, farm grown fruit. We began with the planting of 2 ½ acres of raspberries and added another 2 ½ in 1994. Matt graduated from Triad High School in 1997 and was off to OSU. He continued to help with the farm on weekends and during the summer. Meanwhile, the youngest son, Kent, managed the farm while he was in high school and college. Both are now grown and live and work away from the farm however they continue to be an integral part of the operation.
In the early 2000’s we realized the demand for fresh berries was growing beyond the capacity of the original 5 acres so we purchased the current farm and planted 23 acres in 2002 and 2003. The location is excellent with easy access to I-70, and State Routes 29, 36, 161, 4, 68, 54 and 56. Over 80% of our berries are sold as Pick Your Own. We hire local teens, college students and others to pick for customers such as those who use the virtual market or those who stop by to purchase pre-picked berries.
Our website www.champaignberryfarm.com was launched in 2005 and is updated often to enhance viability and sales. Check out our harvest section for recipes! We are also using social media to reach our customers. Kent’s wife, Lindsay, is the designer and webmaster of our website and she also creates Facebook posts as well as emails for our customer base. We are members of the Ohio Produce Growers and Marketers Association and annually attend trainings and seminars to learn about current trends and research in fruit production as well as to understand and comply with food safety regulations. We are also members of Ohio Proud and The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation.
