Bexley Farmers' Market: October 17th

“Maybe most important, farm food itself is totally different from what most people now think of as food: none of those colorful boxed and bagged products, precut, parboiled, ready to eat, and engineered to appeal to our basest desires. We were selling the opposite: naked, unprocessed food, two steps from the dirt.”

Kristin Kimball, The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love

Bexley Farmers' Market: October 10th

“What I stand for is what I stand on.”

Wendell Berry


Want to make more of the fresh food you eat? Here are three tips to improve the health and flavor of what you buy at the Bexley Farmers' Market!

1. Taste the Rainbow! Claim health benefits by buying deeply colored fruits and vegetables at the market.

2. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Shorten your cooking time and leave a bit crunch. For example, cut broccoli into egg-sized clumps and arrange them stem-side-down in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Put on the lid, and set a timer for four minutes. Doing so will leave your broccoli rich in cancer-fighting bionutrients.

3. Smaller is better! New research shows that smaller varieties may be more nutritious. This is especially true for tomatoes--the smaller and darker red the tomato, the more lycopene it has per ounce.

Our food is more than fresh, it's better for you!

Bexley Farmers' Market: September 26th

“Good farmers, who take seriously their duties as stewards of Creation and of their land's inheritors, contribute to the welfare of society in more ways than society usually acknowledges, or even knows.

Bexley Farmers' Market: August 29th

“Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.”

Alice Waters


Back to school and wondering, "What's for lunch?"

Many children consume at least half of their meals at school, and for many children, food served at school may be the only food they regularly eat. With more than 32 million children participating in the National School Lunch Programand more than 12 million participating in the School Breakfast Program, good nutrition at school is more important than ever.

Principles, teachers, school nutrition workers and parents are helping to make schools healthier places to learn by providing quality food and teaching children about the importance of nutrition and embracing a healthy active lifestyle.

Read about a mother and teacher, compelled by her own frustration with school meals, and her journey in eating school lunch every school day in 2010 just like her students. The book is Fed Up with Lunch: The School Lunch Project: How One Anonymous Teacher Revealed the Truth About School Lunches –And How We Can Change Them!

Bexley Farmers' Market: August 22nd

"One should eat to live, not live to eat."

Moliere


Farm-to-Fork. Seed-to-Plate. Farm-to-Table. It doesn't matter what you call it, there are all types of events, themes, and definitions for celebrating our agricultural diets and lifestyles.

Farm-to-table (or farm-to-fork) refers to the stages of the production of food: harvesting, storage, processing, packaging, sales, and consumption. Farm-to-table also refers to a movement concerned with producing food locally and delivering that food to local consumers. Linked to the local food movement, the movement is promoted by some in the agriculture, food service, and restaurant communities. It may also be associated with organic farming initiatives, sustainable agriculture, and community-supported agriculture.

So how do you celebrate local food?

“A fruit is a vegetable with looks and money. Plus, if you let fruit rot, it turns into wine, something Brussels sprouts never do.”

P. J. O’Rourk


Strawberries, strawberries, strawberries! They're here, but not for long. Strawberries have a short season, usually lasting 4-6 weeks, depending on the weather. So whether you're canning, freezing, or just snacking, stock up while you can.

In the mood for a quick, but delicious strawberry jam? Try this recipe from Martha Stewart.

Quick Strawberry Jam

1 quart hulled strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

In a food processor, process strawberries until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a large skillet and stir in sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high, stirring frequently, until jam is thickened and bubbles completely cover surface, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer jam to a jar and let cool to room temperature. (To store, seal jar and refrigerate, up to 10 days).

Yield: 1 3/4 cups
