Plattsburgh Online Ordering:  winter farmers market open for orders


Good evening. We are open for orders through Tuesday evening.

We have switched from the sweet Candy onions, which stored much better than expected but no longer, to great yellow storage onions.

Irina Hagar (Nature’s Touch) has added quite a few products.

The cows at North Country Creamery are starting to calve.

Spring is coming!

Suwanee Whole Life Co-op:  Halibut Update - there's more coming soon!


Wild Alaskan Halibut Update

In my newsletter on Thursday I wrote that Doug added the last of the Halibut catch to the market. I spoke with him yesterday since all 40 pieces sold out in a matter of hours. What he listed was what he allocated to our market since he has several other markets he provides wild caught fish.

Since halibut does so well at our market Doug wanted to let you all know that he will plan to make another trip in early April to bring us more. So if you missed out on this order, there will be another opportunity.

As we get closer I will send out info to let everyone know when halibut is back on the market. We may do a pre-order so he can have a better estimate of how much to bring since he severely underestimated this week..

Thank you all for your support,
Nora and Doug

Champaign, OH:  Lovely Lavender


Swisher Hill Herbs is gearing up for spring. As we welcome spring we start packing away those winter clothes for the season. If you like the more natural approach to moth proofing your closets and drawers, lavender is your friend! Lavender is a natural flea and moth repellent.

As I pack away coats and jackets I tuck Lavender sachets in pockets and in drawers with sweaters and blankets, I also rub lavender oil on unfinished wood closet shelves, I put drops of lavender oil in the corners of every room on baseboards and on carpeted floors.

Swisher Hill Herbs have information handouts with recipes and hints to help guide you. contact us swisherhillherbs@gmail.com

Our aromatherapy products are in the featured products section of the www.champaignoh.locallygrown.net check us out.

MORE ABOUT EGGS
If you’re like me, as Easter approaches you smile at fond memories of decorating eggs for those old fashioned egg hunts, all the while thinking about doing the same thing for the little ones in your life. Fortunately we’re not limited to the old Paas egg kits anymore and there are many ways to both decorate eggs, and use them once the festivities end. Rather than go into a gazillion things you can do with eggs, following are some fun and informative links you may enjoy in preparation for the upcoming holiday. Blessings to all, Ros

Farm to Table Recipes

CRUSTLESS ASPARAGUS QUICHE


If you are watching carbohydrates and calories, but want high protein, you really can’t do much better than this quiche.  You’ll be getting a lot of vitamins as well.  This delicious quiche is high in vitamins C, A, K, iron, and folate. Making it crustless cuts out a lot of carbs and calories. Using more egg whites than yolks cuts down on the cholesterol and fat, while still supplying 7 grams of protein per serving. Not too bad for just 72 calories a slice!


Yield: 8 servings | Serving Size: 1 slice | Calories: 72 | Total Fat: 3 g | Saturated Fat: 2 g | Trans Fat: 0 g | Cholesterol: 49 mg | Sodium: 120 mg | Carbohydrates: 3 g | Dietary Fiber: 1 g | Sugars: 2 g | Protein: 7 g | SmartPoints: 2 |


2 cups sliced asparagus
6 egg whites
2 whole eggs
1/3 cup diced onion
1/2 cup (low-fat) feta cheese, optional parmesan cheese
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Kosher or sea salt to taste


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and pour into a quiche pan or 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake at 350° for approximately 45 minutes or until filling is set.


Please, share your recipes with us on the website, on the Recipes tab. We’d all love to know how you use your Market at Dothan Locally Grown products, so we can try it too!
