Champaign, OH:  Selection Sunday!


Yes!! The day is here!! It’s Christmas for college basketball fans!! Today we see which teams will pop up where in the bracket!!

And may I just pause for a minute to say…wait for it, wait for it…

Kentucky will be the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament!!!

Okay…now that I have that out of my system, let’s move on with the little local market of love!

I have a great idea for today!! In honor of Selection Sunday (and, this will work even if you are not a college basketball fanatic) why don’t we make this Selection Sunday of Champaign Locally Grown?

What if everyone decided to make one, two, or a HUGE selection of market items, today, on Selection Sunday…

Come on…let’s do it!! We need to pass the time, anyway, until we get to see how the teams all fall into place!!

By the end of the day, I want to see the selections!!

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

CLG:  Opening Bell: Salsa, Bok Choy, Eggs...


Good afternoon,
Spring has sprung! Daffodils blooming, trees budding, and farmers with muddy boots: all signs that it’s time to get busy outdoors. Over 500 items available this week, including many plants! Strawberries will be available very soon! Any mushroom lovers? I found a bunch of Auricularia auricula (Jew’s ear) mushrooms at Cedar Rock Ridge in Conway. Email me and I’ll bring you some on Friday, or you can forage your own on Saturday morning.

Check out all the Featured Products and use the SEARCH field on the main Market page to quickly find the items you want.

Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table.

The market is now OPEN for orders. Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!

Have a great week!
Steve

SANDSPUR FARMS + OCHEESEE CREAMERY
Thanks Jennifer of SANDSPUR Farms for Teaming Up with Ocheesee Creamery to deliver Local, Grass Fed Milk & Milk Products to Market At Dothan! The samples of Whole Milk and Drinkable Yogurt were delicious! The following information is from Ocheesee’s website:
" We’re a small, three-generation dairy in Calhoun County, Florida, and we’re bringing back the healthy goodness of whole milk and other dairy items. When you taste the difference and see the healthy benefits of milk items that come from grass-happy cows, you’ll be enjoying whole milk items again and will know that you’ve made the healthy choice. That’s right, we’re stepping back to a time when cows grazed on pasture land, like it used to be, and they got all the benefits of the fresh air, the sunlight, and pastures full of fresh green grass. Studies show that cows that are allowed a primary diet of fresh grass produce milk with five times as much unsaturated fat than cows fed processed grains. That’s really good news for people who want the benefits of whole milk but need to reduce their “bad” cholesterol counts. Most dairy items in the U.S. come almost exclusively from cows that are fed hay and grains from feed lots, and so whole milk has gotten a bad reputation due to the saturated fat and cholesterol levels. According to Michelle McGuire, associate professor at Washington State University, “Whole milk is not the villain!”
In addition to the dairy items you would expect, we offer an item you don’t find just everywhere; pasteurized, non-homogenized cream-top milk, which is a hands-down favorite of our guests and our regular customers as well. We are also the only dairy in the state that makes our own butter.
We choose to deliver our milk items in recyclable glass bottles for several reasons:
milk tastes better in glass,
glass is better for the environment, and because it is nostalgic. Many older people enjoy our items because it reminds them of their growing-up days when milk in glass bottles was the norm"

Farm to Table Recipes


SAUSAGE, KALE & LENTIL SOUP
Ingredients
2 tablespoons EVOO, plus more for drizzling
1 pound hot or sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 fresh bay leaves
2 stems fresh rosemary
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 large or 2 medium onions, chopped
1 potato, peeled and cut into small dice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 bunch black kale, stemmed and chopped
A few gratings fresh nutmeg
1/2 cup dry white or red wine
6 cups chicken stock
1 1/4 cups brown lentils
Shaved Pecorino cheese, for serving
Directions
Heat the EVOO in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until browned. Add the garlic, bay leaves, rosemary, carrots, onions and potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the kale and nutmeg. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the chicken stock and 2 cups water and bring to boil (for thicker soup, use 2 cups less liquid).

Stir in the lentils and cook at a low, bubbly simmer until the lentils are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the rosemary stems and bay leaves.

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a drizzle of EVOO and the shaved Pecorino.
