Champaign, OH:  California Dreaming


All the leaves are brown (All the leaves are brown)…
And the sky is gray (And the sky is gray)
I’ve been for a walk (I’ve been for a walk)…
On a winter’s day (On a winter’s day)
I’d be safe and warm (I’d be safe and warm)…
If I was in L.A. (If I was in L.A.)…
(California Dreaming-The Mamas and Papas)

Oh, wait…it’s not a winter’s day? I was so confused these past few days!! Yesterday was finally a beautiful, bright, warm day, but now, back to the cold, drizzle, gray…enough to make this market manager crazy!

On these days, I let my mind drift back to a time when I lived on the west coast, California, Los Angeles, San Francisco. The sleepy little beach hideaways, the perfect coastal drives, the warmth. I lived in quite a few places in the years I was out there…Venice Beach, Westwood, Malibu, Santa Monica, up in the canyons, in the heart of San Francisco. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world to be living in the place that I grew up wanting to escape to.

On these gray days, I love to think back to the places made me happy, made me excited, and forever have etched amazing memories in my brain.

This market can do the same for me on these gray and drizzly days. It makes me happy to see the lovely produce beginning to turn up on our market pages. The vendors make me smile. The customers and our bonds with them, give me a sense of love. And, this market is always showing me excitement!

In case you didn’t know, the vendors that are a part of this market are top notch. They bring the best of their best to us, each week. They are amazing in heart, amazing in spirit, and amazing to work with. I hope they know just how happy, and full of love, they make me, as their market manager!

It’s this time of year when we continue to welcome back some of our seasonal family. We welcomed back Beth, of Harrigan’s Harvest, Lee and Jennifer, of End Of The Road, and now we welcome back, Kevin, with his lettuces from Davidson Family Farms!

Find your own California dreaming, on a dreary day like today, right inside our market! Place your orders, and feel the love…

It’s Tuesday, and that means the market will be closing at 10pm, tonight! Don’t be left out in the cold…move into your own California sunshine with orders from this little local market of love…

Peace, Love, and Grooviness…

Princeton Farm Fresh:  Weblog Entry


Good Morning-
I thought I would include a recipe with today’s web-blog. Carrots are one of my favorite spring time veggies. They are so beautiful and are a harvest treasure as I pull their colorful bodies out of the ground. I hope everyone is enjoying this cooler weather before the heat of summer arrives.

HONEY GLAZED CARROTS WITH THYME AND LEMON

Tender carrots are glazed with honey, seasoned with fresh thyme, and hit with a bright splash of lemon juice in this easy, delicious side dish that’s perfect for ushering in spring!

Ingredients

1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced at an angle, 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons honey, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions

Place carrots, broth, 1 tablespoon honey, and salt in an approximately 12-inch skillet set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Carrots should be almost tender when pierced with the point of a knife.
Uncover pan, increase heat to high, and bring to a rapid simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes or until liquid is reduced to a couple of tablespoons.
Add butter, remaining 2 tablespoons of honey, and thyme to skillet, tossing until butter is melted and carrots are coated. Cook for about 3 more minutes, stirring frequently, until carrots are completely tender and glaze has thickened and turned a light golden color.
Remove skillet from heat, stir in lemon juice, and season with pepper. Serve immediately, spooning glaze over individual servings.
See you at the market on Friday,
Angela
