Kohlrabi Bistro Salad
from thekitchn.com
Serves 4
Splash white vinegar
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
6 cups peeled and julienne-cut kohlrabi
1 head Belgian endive, cut into bias strips
4 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
Bring several inches of water plus a splash of white vinegar to a boil over high heat in a wide sauté pan or deep skillet. Crack eggs one at a time into a small ramekin and then slide into the water. Keep an eye on the boil/simmer of the water. The temperature of the water should drop from the cold eggs. When it comes back up to a simmer, reduce the heat to maintain a very gentle simmer. If the water is boiling, reduce heat. Cook eggs 4 minutes for runny yolks. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with a clean towel.
Meanwhile, whisk cider vinegar, shallot, and Dijon in a large salad bowl. Whisk in oil, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Add kohlrabi and endive and toss to coat. Divide salad among four dinner plates. Top with crumbled bacon and the hot poached egg.
Market News
Hello!
It is hot out there! Hope you were able to stay cool today – maybe even found a way to play in some water! We are certainly hoping the rain expected for Tuesday does come and provides a nice soaking for the ground as well as cools down the temperatures!
We are definitely in the transition from late spring to early summer. The summer crops are rolling in – squash, cucumbers, and the first tomatoes. The greens and lettuces won’t be around much longer. This is a diverse time of year, crop wise. As the summer heat kicks in, we see less variety of crops and get down to the summer heat loving staples. But for now, please enjoy all that we have to offer. We’ve got a great selection of wonderful vegetables!
If you are interested in peaches from the Peach Truck, but pick up either at the farms or at Westahaven, we can bring an order for you. Please let us know what you would like in the comments section of your order. We will charge your account for you, and deliver the peaches with your order.
The Bloomy Rind is back with us this week. Also, please support our other amazing vendors and providers – Dozen Bakery, Wedge Oak Farm and Bear Creek meats, Tru Bee honey, and Twin Forks Farm nuts and granola. We really are lucky to be working with some of the best food artisans in town!
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all your support!

Dawson Local Harvest: Breakfast Sausage, Cherry Tomatoes, Last Call for Lettuce!
Dawson Local Harvest for June 17th
Breakfast Sausage, Cherry Tomatoes, and Last Call for Lettuce.
HI EVERYONE!
We mentioned FIVE HENS FARMS last week and they’re in the news again. First off, their very tasty Pork Breakfast Sausage is back in stock. It’s very good and goes pretty fast, so don’t dally if you’re interested. Secondly they have some dated Ham for sale at just $3.00 a pound. They consider this Ham to be for pet consumption because it’s been packaged for a year, but it’s vacuum-sealed and was good last week. Might be a way to get a great deal, or give it to your pets and make them very happy.LEILANI’S has their first-of-the-season organic-standard Mixed Cherry Tomatoes coming in. Could be 4 pints, could be 6, we’ll fill all the orders we can. This will also be the last week for Lettuce this season, so get it while you can, it’ll be a while for the fresh stuff again. Other New Choices besides the Cherry Tomatoes are young, tender baby Cabbages, Broccoli, Cauliflower, wonderfully tart Onions, Baby Carrots, and Golden and Scarlet Beets, and several other veggies still on the Menu.
More Fresh Wild-caught Georgia White Shrimp straight from the docks of Darien, Ga. will be available from TOM’S AWESOMW SHRIMP. That’s great eatin’!
THE MARKET WILL OPEN Sunday night at 8pm!
REMEMBER! You can order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.
You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Is Open
Don’t let the demons of noon captivate your heart. The ALFN market is no mirage, no empty promise. Here in the digital wasteland, in the cyber-desert we call the internet, ALFN’s market is a tangible, rooted representation. Yes, those pictures of tomatoes, blackberries, squash, goat soap and beef are real. The internet waves of confusion do not rise up into this market. Everything you see is real, tasty, and made from non-cyborg people living in Arkansas. Come join our online oasis.
UPDATES
Last week we had some wonderful products come through the market. From mixed bouquets of flowers to handmade soap to fresh peaches and blackberries, the market was buzzing with the signs of early summer. We made our first order for bulk dry grains. For those of you who ordered over the past three weeks, look for an email indicating when you can pick up your order in late June. I will put dry goods back up for selection in a couple of weeks. Don’t forget we have rice mixes and corn products (grits, cornmeal) from local producers in the grain section of the market!!
Take care,
Kyle Holton
