October Brings on a Huge Harvest!

October not only brings in cooler market temps, but crisp apples and pears. Boyer Nurseries and Orchards is one of our premier fruit growers at Friday's market and they know their fruit. Don't settle for that same old apple from a mass grocery store chain, but enjoy the selection of apples direct from Boyer's orchards. They know their fruit!

PEAR APPLE CRISP
3 ripe pears, peeled, cored & sliced
3/4 c. flour
2 tart apples, peeled & sliced
1/3 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. apple cider
1/4 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix pears, apples, lemon juice, cider
and vanilla. Put in a 9 inch pie plate. In medium bowl, stir together
flour, sugar, allspice and cinnamon. With a pastry blender or knives,
cut in the butter, then stir in the oil. Spoon the crumbly mixture on
top of the fruit. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Serves 6-8

Labor Day Weekend is Here!

One of the most inspiring aspects of a farmers' market is taking great fresh ingredients from our hard working growers and cooking something really, really good!

This weekend, Quisine 360 owner, Marty Qually will team up with Wellspan Community Nutrition professional, Betsy Wargo to showcase fresh food. Their recipe of choice: Ratatouille!

Ingredients are basic and simple; whole fresh market food: Tomatoes, eggplant, onion, garlic, zucchini and at home staples. Most of the ingredients were grown by Latimore Valley Farms one of our Certified Organic market growers.

Tastings are available, along with great healthy cooking tips from Betsy Wargo and our guest chef, Marty.

The cooking program is from 10-11:30. Regular market hours: 9:30-2:00

So stop by and celebrate not only good food, but all the labor it took to grow it! Pick up the recipe at the market or we'll post it on our blog next week.
