We have all the grilling ingredients, Market Customers!
Summer is fully under way at our farms and ranches! That means plenty of fresh produce, creamy dairy, and juicy meat for grilling and picnic foods. Ramstead Ranch has pasture-raised Berkshire Pork Chops, four in a pack, and a handful or recipes to take with you. Pair them with our Summer Market Salad recipe below featuring Jake Rider’s Oyster Mushrooms, Kerr Sunflower Microgreens, fresh summer greens and herbs, market goat cheese (your choice), and market honey (your choice!). You can also caramelize some sliced organic Walla Walla Onions from Killarney Farm on the grill to go with your chops or steaks. See our What’s Fresh box below for even more produce and ingredients available at the market.
Staying hydrated is very important in this summer heat! Good Juice‘s Grapefruit Orange Lemon Lime Mint cold-pressed juice was crafted by their raw vegan chef to refresh you on sunny days. Packed with Vitamin C, it is made with all organically-source ingredients. For your skin, Willow Wood Honey has a great line up of chapsticks and lip balms made with their beeswax and in flavors like huckleberry, honey, peppermint, and lavender.
Baked Goodies
This weekend, Black Forest Bakery is bringing all the creamy goodness with Dandelion Cream Cake, Burnt Almond Cake, and Strawberry Cream Puffs. The strawberries and dandelions are from their garden, and the scrumptious Bavarian cream is made from scratch.
Simply Sweet Cottage Treats, along with their regular popular menu, will be serving Green Chili and Cheddar Scones as well as Pull-Apart Brown Butter Everything Bagel Bread. Wow. That sounds like a delicious mouthful!
And don’t forget to reserve your bagels of loaf of crusty sourdough bread from MaK Bread on their website before each market! It means skipping the lines and digging in to the pillowy loaf sooner rather than later.
