Good Morning!
Did you enjoy the scones from Seven Sisters Scones and coffee from JavaGenesis Coffee Roasters this past Saturday? We’ll continue the coffee samples this Saturday. If your looking for the blend we have for sampling it’s called the Holiday Blend. Our Holiday Blend is a Colombian based blend with a bit of our Mexican and Ethiopian coffees that has rich, warm undertones. It’s a well balanced, awesome cup of coffee.
Seven Sisters will also be bringing some extra scones for the shelf for those of you that want to pick up something when you come by.

Champaign, OH: The Music Never Stopped
And the fields are full of dancin’…
Full of singin’ and romancin’…’
The music never stopped…
(Grateful Dead – The Music Never Stopped)
It has been a crazy week, already, and a very locally charged night, tonight, with a lively discussion/meeting concerning the shared commercial kitchen.
Thank you, so much, to all who were able to attend!! We NEED those surveys so please email me, if you have not done so, to get your survey to fill out!!
It’s the whole local vibe that I love, that moves me, that is my greatest passion!! It’s like never ending music to me, never ending dancing…I love it!
I also love all of you, and this little local market! You all have until 10pm to get your orders in!! Keep the music going, the love going, and the local vibe going…
I will give you a last call when it’s time…don’t miss out on the fun! Order!!

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Reminder!
Christmas decorations are on display, and you know what that means: it’s almost Thanksgiving! Since they’re on a biweekly delivery schedule, this is your last pre-feast week to order from the full variety of delicious cheeses that White River Creamery has to offer. So if your Turkey Day plans include ricotta for the beet green gratin or aleppo pepper chevre to spice up your cheese tray, head to The Market now to place your order.
As should be the case this time of year, we’re finally dipping into the 20’s over the next few nights, and that means the demise of many delicate summer veggies. This is the week to stock up on organic endive, escarole, and green leaf lettuces from Crimmins Family Farm and eat all the salad you can stand to tide you over for the months of soups and stews ahead. But don’t let that get you down, because there’s always exciting new crops (beets!) just around the corner.

Farm to Table Recipes
BUTTERNUT SQUASH with WALNUTS & VANILLA
Yield: Serves 4.
We’re using butternut squash for this dish, but you could easily use kabocha squash instead, or any firm, easy-to-peel, winter squash. You can either boil or roast the squash, directions are given for both methods.
Save Recipe
Ingredients
1 butternut squash, about 2 pounds, peeled, seeds removed, flesh cut into 1-inch cubes (see how to cut and peel a butternut squash)
3 bay leaves (if boiling the squash)
Salt
1 heaping cup of walnuts (can substitute pecans or pine nuts)
2-3 Tbsp butter
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Black pepper to taste
Method
1a If roasting Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat the cubed squash with a little vegetable oil and spread out onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with salt and roast until the cubes begin to brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven.
1b If boiling Put 4 cups of water into a medium-sized pot and add the bay leaves. Bring to a simmer. Add the squash to the pot. Boil, covered for 10 minutes. Drain.
2 Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and toast the walnuts. Stir frequently or they will burn. Once they they start to brown, and you can smell the aroma of toasted walnuts, remove from heat.
3 Melt the butter in the pan with the walnuts over medium-high heat. Toss the walnuts to coat with butter, then add the squash. Toss them to coat with butter.
4 Add the grated ginger, vanilla extract, black pepper, a little salt and dried thyme and toss once more. Turn off the heat and squeeze some lemon juice over everything. Taste for salt and lemon and add more to taste. If you want this to be a bit more luxurious, mix in another tablespoon of butter or two before serving.

Siloam Springs, AR: Market Update
Good morning! Hope you’re keeping warm on this chilly morning. 70 degree temps one day and 29 the next. Kinda crazy even though we knew well in advance it was going to happen.
After a couple weeks break from Farmers Markets, J.D. Hudson Farms is back up and running and his products are available through the online market. I’m re-sending the product listing with this newsletter.
There is still plenty of time to place an order for pick up on Saturday morning.
Have a great week!
