Blueberry Pie Recipe
Prep time: 1 hourCook time: 1 hourYield: Makes one pie with 8 servings.
Add to shopping list
INGREDIENTS
Crust:

One double recipe for all butter pie crust dough
Filling ingredients:

*6 cups (about 2 1/4 pounds or 1 kilo) of fresh (or frozen) blueberries, rinsed and stems removed (if using frozen, defrost and drain first)
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup (about 30g) all-purpose flour (for thickening)
1/2 cup white granulated sugar (100g)
*1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
*2 Tbsp butter (unsalted), cut into small pieces
*Egg wash ingredients:

*1 egg
*1 tablespoon milk
METHOD
1 Prepare the crust. Roll out half of the dough to 1/8-inch-thick circle on a lightly floured work surface, about 13 inches in diameter. Fit the dough over a 9-inch pie pan, and trim the edges to a 1/2 inch over the edge all around the pan. Put into the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.

2 Gently mix the blueberries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Transfer them to the chilled bottom crust of the pie pan. Dot with butter pieces. Roll out remaining dough to the same size and thickness as the first. Place on top of the berry filling. Tuck the top dough over and under the edge of the bottom dough, and crimp the edges with your fingers. Transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill until the dough is firm, about 30 minutes. Heat oven to 425°F.

3 Whisk egg and milk together to make an egg wash.

4 Remove the unbaked pie from refrigerator. Brush the top with egg wash. Score the pie on the top with 4 cuts (so steam can escape while cooking). Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven with a parchment paper or Silpat lined baking pan positioned on the lower rack to catch any filling that may bubble over. Bake for 20 minutes at 425°. Reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 30 to 40 minutes more or until juices are bubbling and have thickened. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Let cool completely before serving.

MEET THE GROWER!
Fox Farm will be premiering six new sausages at this Tuesday’s Meet the Grower. In addition to having samples, they will be grilling and selling sausages on a bun for $4.00 and will have extras including sauerkraut, sautéed peppers and onions, and homemade tomato sauce with shredded Parmesan cheese for $1.00 more.

Packages of each sausage variety will be available for purchase at the event. The sausages featured are Hot Italian, Sweet Italian, Thüringer Bratwurst, Nürnberg Bratwurst, Kielbasa, and Irish Bangers. A complete description of each sausage is available on-line.

Main Street Meats (Link 41) makes the sausages for us following our 100-year-old recipes from family and friends.

We plan on being outside for this event. If the weather is inclement, we will move inside.

We hope everyone will stop by to introduce themselves and taste our products.
-——————————————————-
And from Jess Wilson: In Town Organics has a limited amount of Seasonal Salad Mix for sale this week. This week’s mix will be a first cutting and will contain green and red lettuces, spinach, mizuna and golden frills mustard, beet greens, arugula, tat soi, cress, and basil. It’s ridiculously good!

Additionally, we have many tender young greens for sale this week including head lettuces and baby beet and chard greens. We have scaled back our commercial operation this year (because of the baby) so our quantities are limited. Get it while it lasts! (Psst…there are also a few strawberries).

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT’S TURKEY ORDERING TIME ALREADY! THIS IN FROM FOUNTAIN SPRINGS FARM:

It is time for us to take turkey orders for Thanksgiving. There are turkey deposits on the market for anyone who would like to make sure they have a NON-GMO-fed and pastured-raised, fresh, never frozen, turkey for Thanksgiving. Place your order for a deposit and the deposit comes off the total price of turkey when picked up.

The turkeys are $3.75 per pound and weigh about 12 to 25 lbs. We deliver them the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

When you place your order for a deposit, leave a comment on the weight that you would like. We will get as close as we can.

Thanks so much.

Jonesborough Locally Grown:  Spring Greens!


In case you missed this week’s Herald and Tribune….here are a couple of recipes featuring “heritage greens” that you should find at the market this month.

“Heritage greens” are those early wild or naturalized spring greens that settlers eagerly collected to add vitamins and minerals to their diet after a long winter of salted meat and corn mush.

Now these most basic, old-timey plants have been rediscovered—chickweed (try it in pesto), nettles (tea for allergies), watercress (piquant salad green), lamb’s quarters (sautee like spinach). They aren’t weeds! They have found a place on menus at gourmet restaurants, and our vendors are also bringing them to market. Try them to add variety to your spring salads.

Watercress is a leafy green that was brought to America from Europe, and is suggested to have been eaten in Roman times. A native of the Nasturtium, it has a peppery flavor and is full of healthy nutrients. It grows in clear, cold water—something which helped settlers locate fresh water sources, and it helped them prevent scurvy, too. Watercress is good in green salads and on sandwiches, or try this recipe for watercress soup.
*Note: it is important to know the water source of watercress, be sure it is a protected headwater free of bacterial contamination.

Watercress Soup
By market customer Mitzi Sobol
• 2 T. olive oil
• 1/2 Vidalia onion
• 2 shallots
• 3 small Yukon gold potatoes
• 1 clove garlic
• 8 oz. watercress
• 1 can coconut milk (14 oz)
• 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
• Salt and pepper

1. In a heavy soup pot, saute garlic, onion, and shallots in the olive oil until soft.
2. Cut potatoes in small cubes.
3. Add potatoes to sauté mixture. Saute potatoes about 5 minutes.
4. Add vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
5. Add watercress and simmer for about 5 minutes, just to watercress is cooked. Overcooking the watercress will destroy the color.
6. In a blender in small batches, blend the cooked vegetables with the coconut milk.
7. Return to soup pot. Heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Lamb’s Quarters is a naturalized spinach relative, with even more nutritive value than spinach. Some say, sautéed in olive oil, it has even more taste than spinach. This recipe from Jonesborough Farmers Market founder farmer Heather Halsey:

Lamb’s Quarters Quiche
Enough for one deep-dish quiche
• Your favorite pie crust
• 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese (or similar), grated
• 4 cups packed fine-chopped lamb’s quarters, stems and leaves, raw
• 2 whole eggs
• 5 egg whites
• 1 cup skim milk
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• Paprika to sprinkle on top

Directions:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Sprinkle ¾ cup cheese in bottom of uncooked pie crust
• Pack lamb’s quarters on top, filling pie shell close to the top
• Whisk whole eggs, egg whites, skim milk and nutmeg together
• Pour egg mixture on top of lamb’s quarters, slowly
• Mixture should be visible but not as high as the greens
• Sprinkle rest of cheese on top
• Dust with paprika
• Bake 45 minutes or until golden brown and firm in center

Enjoy!

Augusta Locally Grown:  THE ON-LINE MARKET IS OPEN AT AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN


RIVERWOOD PICK-UP LOCATION CLOSINGMAY 20
This Tuesday, May 20, will be our LAST DAY at Riverwood. It is a sad but inevitable end-of-an-era. Sales at that location have sunk below what it costs to run. We believe that other local foods options, including the Evans Towne Farmers Market, have pulled customers in multiple directions. And that’s a good thing overall!!! But it is sad to leave behind the Riverwood community where much of our start took root. Of course, the biggest hug goes to our fearless market manager Meghann, who has developed quite a fan base there. She’s gonna take some time off as a manager, but will continue with us in some form or another because, of course, she’s family now. We hope our Riverwood customers will switch over to our AJCC site, which is open 4pm-6pm, just a few miles away. If you have any questions about this transition, please contact kim@augustalocallygrown.org.

BANJO-B-QUEMAY 23, 24
One of the most enthusiastic advocates for local foods in our community is Patrick Sutter. And this month he’s taking it one step further! Patrick and three of his fellow grill buddies have entered their team in the “Backyard Category” of the Banjo-B-Que national contest in Evans. And get this: they’re using local beef and pork from Savannah River Farm, including a top-of-the-line Berkshire hog. Their team – called “SHADOW BBQ” – will promote and celebrate ALG and the Evans Towne Farmers Market while cooking up some serious contest entries. More than 7000 folks are expected to attend this food/music event with more than 80 teams from 28 states. Come cheer Shadow BBQ on as they cheer on our local foods movement! Order tickets at banjobque.com.

FARM FRIDAY AT WHITE HILLS POSTPONED TO MAY 23:
“Farm Friday” will start up at White Hills lavender farm in Dearing, GA, next Friday, May 23.

RAISED BED GARDENING WORKSHOPMAY 25:

PICKIN’ PARTY AT HEXEMAUS FARMJUNE 1

There are only a few meal tickets left, so sign up soon if you’re willing to work for food! Contact kim@augustalocallygrown.org.

SUMMER TOMATO SANDWICH CONTESTJULY 17
Calling all local chefs and would-be chefs!!!!!! ALG will host a “Summer Tomato Sandwich Contest” at the Evans Towne Farmers Market on Thursday, July 17. Heirloom tomatoes will be provided by the Urban Ag R&D project in Appling. Contestants provide the fixings! Judges are being lined-up, sponsors sought and trophies ordered.

Recipes

Nettle Pesto

Italians make nettle pesto, or pesto d’urtica, in springtime.

3 cups raw stinging nettles
3 medium garlic cloves (or green garlic)
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (or walnuts)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan cheese, finely grated

1. Using tongs or gloves, measure 3 tightly packed cups of raw young nettle tops. Add them to salted boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, drain immediately and then place the greens in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Cool, strain and squeeze dry using a tea towel to remove every drop of moisture that you can.

2. Coarsely chop the nettles to make about 1 cup. Add them to the bowl of a food processor with the garlic cloves and pine nuts. While pulsing, slowly add the olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time. Season to taste with salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. You might add a small knob of soft butter and a squeeze of lemon juice if it needs brightening. Blend once more to incorporate the final additions.

Makes 1 generous cup

Market News



It’s still early in the season ,but we have some new veggies and other items on the market this week. It has been really exciting to drive around Greene County and see fields finally filling up with young plants. Melissa and Katee, the Rural Resources farmers, have been busy planting tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and other crops that will be ripening before you know it!

A reminder about our schedule: order between now and Monday at noon. Delivery takes place from 9:00 until 11:30 on Wednesday morning. If you live in downtown Greeneville or Tusculum, you can meet us at Takoma Hospital, or you can order delivery right to your door!

Otherwise, you can pick up your orders at Rural Resources on Thursday evening when we host our seasonal suppers (you can arrange other times to pick up by e-mailing mfmmanager@ruralresources.net or calling 423-636-8171).

Thanks for your support of fresh, local food—and happy Mother’s Day to all you amazing moms out there!

Local Product Highlights

This week we have two new greens: Mizuna, a peppery Asian green somewhat similar to arugula, and rouge d’hiver, a red romaine.

If you’re looking to get your own garden started, we have some plant starts for sale, such as sage. The teen program is also selling bags of rabbit manure. This is an excellent soil amendment that can be applied directly to your garden without composting!

There is still plenty of pastured pork sausage from animals raised by teen program participants. This mild, flavorful sausage has gotten rave reviews from everyone who has tried it.

Browse the whole list here.

Thank you for helping to connect farms, food and families by purchasing locally produced food that is healthy, fresh, and delicious!
