ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Reminder!

Notes From the Field:

I had the privilege of taking home a pre-sale sample of Garden Works’ nabak kimchi this weekend, and it was indeed a privilege. This fantastic addition to The Market, made with a wide assortment of synthetic chemical free and certified organic veggies from farmers you already know and love, is an intriguing condiment that complements most any savory dish.

This variety of kimchi is milder and watery compared to what most Americans know. It’s traditionally made in the spring and early summer, and Garden Works really knows how to let that early season freshness shine. Less spicy and less “funky” than similar products, nabak kimchi provides a stellar stepping stone for anyone hesitant about trying fermented foods. So far, I’ve tried it over fried duck eggs and next to seared tuna (with delightful results!) but I imagine nearly endless possibilities.

Stocked and Restocked:

Haven’t looked at The Market since Sunday? Boy are you missing out! The fabulous array of all your favorite fetas and fromages blanc (it’s like culs de sac) from White River Creamery are available once again, and they have something new to offer: chevre! This creamy, earthy goat cheese is as versatile as it is delicious. It can take breakfast, lunch, or dinner to new heights, but is just as tasty on a spoon.

Yellow squash and zucchini have officially arrived and are coming in strong from Barnhill Orchards. It’ll be a couple of months before the bounty begins to be a burden, so I like to take these first few weeks to indulge in the classics, before I start thinking outside the box.

Whether it’s your first order for the week or the third, be sure to get it in before The Market closes tomorrow morning at 7:30, or, come Saturday, you’ll have nothing to eat but regret.

Tulsa Clean Food Market :  Greek yogurt back on Saturday

We finally got a rain at the farm. Half an inch will help, but we’ve got a long way to go to get out of a category 5 drought. We have a good supply of Greek yogurt, cheese and granola this week. There is only a little butter, so it’s best if you preorder it. We plan to have strawberry smoothie pops available on Saturday! Hope to see you this weekend,

Fisher's Produce Tulsa:  Ordering Open

Hello Friends,

Sorry for the late posting. We will leave orders open until noon on Tuesday. But don’t expect the first carrots of the season and the first open market strawberries to stay in stock very long!

This is an A-week delivery with delivery to South Tulsa. Brookside Market is now in session, so we will be in the Whole Foods parking lot from 7:30-11:00am and then to the Spirit Event center from 12:00-12:30. This is earlier than we had originally planned on, but the market times have changed this season. For those meeting us in South Tulsa, please email and confirm if this will work for you. If not, please let us know as well, and we will make arrangements.

This week’s CSA share will likely include:

Lettuce
Spinach
Cabbage
Carrots
Strawberries

We look forward to seeing you all. Tell your friends to come out and shop at the brookside market!

Luke
