Growing Season Update

Plants waiting to go into the hoop-house at White Pine Farm.
There must be a turtles nest in the hoop-house because the babies are emerging.
This baby was found this week.

Maple Syrup Season

It appears the famous Groundhog was WRONG (again) this year! Spring has come a bit early and that is shifting our maple syrup producers into high gear. With these warm days and cool nights, it’s the perfect weather to start catching the sap run. Did you know that it takes about 40 gallons of raw maple sap to get 1 gallon of finished syrup? That’s A LOT of effort…just do that math!

While maple products taste amazing, they’ve got a lot of powerful health benefits, too. Don’t you want some extra nutrients such as B-Vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and zinc? Yes, Please!

Here is a fabulous maple granola recipe from Koilene Law of Law Family Farms, producers of some of the syrup for CSA Farmers Market:

Recipe for maple granola
In bowl combine
1/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
3 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup lightly chopped almonds

Recipe 2 You can also make a juice and add small amounts to the yogurt until you have the consistency you want. I thaw and juice the cucumber, lemon and garlic. If you have fresh dill throw that in the juicer too. Salt to taste and add to your yogurt until you get the consistency you want in your sauce. Add some dried dill to add some color and extra flavor. This sauce is great with lamb and used in gyro sandwiches.

Market News

NEW SOFTWARE AND WEBSITE COMING SOON!

The new software will be user friendly for customers, it will have accounting included in which customers will be able to see order history and what invoices have been paid, customers will be able to pre-order in bulk on certain items.

We are still working out some bugs on the new system. We anticipate that it will be live April 6, 2017.

On a really good note on our end I will not have to use HTML to write a weblog. There is nothing worse than putting a weblog together and have it crash right before the market opens like it did on me today! Yuck, farmers should not have to know HTML!!
