Fisher's Produce Tulsa: Harvest Update
Hello Friends,
Brookside Farmer’s Market starts this week at the 41st and Peoria Whole Foods parking lot. We will have our stand up from 7:30am-11:00. We will still be there taking down afterwards but those are the official market hours. Please let us know if you are not able to make it during those hours to pick up your CSA bag.
This week, we will be delivering to JCT, Brookside Market, and B’nai Emunah.
This week’s CSA share will likely include:
Napa Cabbage
Strawberries
Kale
Lettuce
Radishes
Parsley and few green onions
For those at our JCT stop, we will give you spinach instead of Kale and salad turnips instead of radishes since you got those on the last delivery. Also, we plan to drop off your bags early Wednesday morning on our way into market, probably around 06:30. We will have the receptionist keep them until they are picked up.

Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
I would like to welcome our grassfed farmer James back today! I am so excited, as I am sure you are too. I have been craving his pastured pork and grassfed beef all winter long. He has pork available today, and will have beef available in two weeks. James has been working hard on his business over the winter to improve production and even went to a conference with Joel Salatin (the grassfed, pasture fed meat guru). I see wonderful things in James’ future as he works to restructure and fine tune his operation for both the well being of his animals and the long term financial sustainability of the farm.
I can’t wait for Friday to BBQ up some of the chops, burgers, and sausage! It looks to be just the nice warm week that will allow all sorts of grilling!
See you all Friday,
Angela

From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
As promised, we have listed our beautiful planters, baskets, and windowsill herb gardens for Mother’s Day, which will be this coming Sunday! We also still have lots of tomato plants and a few bell peppers left. These plants in gallon pots are large and strong and ready to set into your garden. We also have several new perennial friends flowering this week, notably astilbe, beard-tongue, pincushion flower, yarrows, gauras, and lavenders. The many types of ferns and herbs are all looking really nice. Another great gift idea for Mother’s Day is a gift certificate from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, available in any denomination on the market.
I know I keep sharing chicken recipes, but this one is simple and delicious! Crockpot Honey Garlic Drumsticks
Get started here: Tullahoma Locally Grown Market
The market closes Wednesday at noon. What’s in your fridge?
Joyful Noise Acres Farm: Don't forget to order.....
Every week our farmers and artisans strive to bring you the freshest and healthiest foods in this area and this week is no exception. Weedy Soil Farm is providing beautiful chard, kale, and lettuce. Farm Fresh Foods has radishes and other fantastic prepared foods.
I love the spicy bite of radishes. Slice them or grate them, pour a splash of vinegar, sprinkle salt and dried dill over them and let marinate for a couple of hours. To complete the salad, wash the leaves and slice thin, steam them for a minute or 2 until bright green then serve topped with the radishes. The bitter greens of radishes, poke and other spring greens are healing, cleansing tonics to our bodies.
Have a great week and we will see you Wednesday.
Blessings,
Mary Beth
