FROM YOUR MARKET CO-MANAGERS (just in case you missed it last week)
To all our wonderful growers and customers: The Cumberland Farmers’ Market co-managers are growers and artisans, too (read: we’re also busy). We make every effort to respond to your calls and e-mail questions in a timely manner. Consequently, while the market is open (Sat. 5 p.m. to Mon. 10 a.m.), we will check once a day for your questions and get back to you. During the remainder of the week, we will check for your questions every other day. To get the fastest response, please send your questions to: cumberlandfm@gmail.com rather than any other address.
Another item: during the past month, we have had inquiries about fruit bars, energy bars, and the like. We have checked with out bakers and learned that the prices of ingredients (especially dried fruit and nuts) have risen exponentially. This would result in the price of such market items increasing at least 50 percent. If you feel so inclined and would like to pursue this, please e-mail us.-——————————————————-
If you have any questions, please call (931.592.3399, no voice mail) or e-mail (cumberlandfm@gmail.com) us.

Siloam Springs, AR: The Double Dollar Program is Back!
SNAP benefits may be used to pay for online orders. Those benefits are also eligible for the Double Dollar program. The information below explains how the program works and it can work the same way for online orders.
If you have SNAP benefits or Senior Vouchers make sure to stop by the market Welcome Station and take advantage of a great program we have to offer called Double Dollars. How does this program work? Here is an example: You choose to spend $20 on your SNAP card – we swipe the card using a card reader/processor and get your transaction approved. Then we provide $20 in tokens to spend with the farmers PLUS give you $20 additional in Double Dollars cards, which increases your spending power to $40. The maximum we will match per market day is $50 – so you can increase your spending power to $100 per market day with this program.
SNAP benefit tokens and Double Dollar cards can be used to purchase produce, fruit, eggs, meat, honey and baked goods. Senior Vouchers can be used to purchase fruit, produce and honey.
We also have vendors who are approved to accept the WIC Farmers Market vouchers. There are usually 3-5 vendors each market day that accept these vouchers. (Unfortunately we are not allowed to double these vouchers)
The Siloam Springs Farmers Market is open Tuesday and Saturday through October 25th from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Come by the market and check things out. Stop by and visit the market manager, Stacy, if you have any questions or would like to use your benefits to make purchases.

Farm to Table Recipes
CAPRESE CORN SALAD
If salads could talk, this corn, tomato, basil, Mozzarella salad would yell, “SUMMER!” It’s what happens when you have a ton of grilled corn leftover from last weekend’s barbecue, and ripe tomatoes in the garden beckoning, “eat me…” Not to mention the one basil plant that just keeps growing. Snip one stem off and two grow in its place! It’s a classic caprese salad with tomato, basil, and Mozzarella tossed with grilled corn.
Caprese Corn Salad Recipe
Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 20 minutesYield: Serves 6 to 8.
Many online recipes for corn and tomato salad just use raw corn, freshly shucked and the kernels scraped off. Some prefer it with grilled corn, but if you have particularly fresh corn that tastes great raw, feel free to use it here. Neither tomatoes nor basil do well refrigerated, so this salad is best made fresh and eaten immediately.
Add to shopping list
INGREDIENTS from Market At Dothan
*5 to 6 ears of sweet corn (still in husks, do not shuck)
*1/4 cup olive oil
*3 Tbsp sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar
*Freshly ground black pepper
*1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
*3 cups roughly chopped, seeded tomatoes, or halved cherry or sun gold tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced scallions, including light green parts
*8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch cubes(Substitute Goat Cheese)
*1/2 cup to 1 cup of fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
METHOD
1 Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. Place the corn cobs still in their husks directly on the grill. Cook for 15 minutes or so, turning every few minutes, so that the husks get completely charred. The corn will steam in the husks. There is no need to soak the corn in water first if the corn is fresh. If you want some char on the corn itself, remove a few of the outer corn husks first, so there is less of a protective layer around the corn. Once the husks are completely charred, remove from the grill and let cool for a few minutes. Then remove the husks and silk. To remove the corn from the cob, stand the shucked cob upright in shallow baking pan or rimmed dish. Hold the cob steady in one hand, and with the other hand use a sharp knife to make downward strokes on the cob, separating the kernels from the cob.
Alternatively, if you have frozen corn kernels, you can use them for this salad (4 cups). Just heat a large cast iron pan on medium high to high heat. Put a layer of frozen corn directly on the pan, do not defrost first. Once the corn has browned on one side, stir and let the corn brown some more. Then remove to cool.
2 In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adding sugar will depend on how sweet your corn or tomatoes are, so you may want to withhold sugar until the end and add to taste.
3 In a large bowl, toss together the corn, tomatoes, scallions, Mozzarella, and the dressing. Adjust seasonings to taste. Let sit for 10 minutes.
4 Right before serving, stir in the freshly sliced basil.
