Summer Newsletter #6

Well, we're in the thick of summer market season already, and I have zero clue where time has gone this year. Avi and I have been busting our tails off with production, and having empty tables at the end of the markets is beyond gratifying. However, if YOU don't like to see empty tables, you can always preorder! I replenish inventories every Sunday afternoon for the upcoming Saturday market. I know we've had a few mis-packs in these first two weeks of onsite sales, and thank you for your patience as we sort it all out! If you get home and have a mistaken order, please shoot me an email and we'll get it settled up.

New this week: Chocolate Coconut Scones! These are the perfect scones for dipping in your morning coffee - chock full of chocolate chips and sweetened coconut, and then topped with a coconut glaze AND toasted coconut! We had to taste-test a couple last week and we literally shoved them in our mouths and looked at each other and said, "Mmmm-hmmm." They're GOOD.

I got a call last week from my berry farm - they've been inundated with new customers this year and they weren't able to fulfill my order. I almost cried. I found another local source, but I'm only able to get about 1/4 of the amount I wanted. We'll do what we can with them to make them stretch, but my dreams of strawberry everything have vanished. 

However, I AM picking up peaches this weekend so it's probably a good thing that we won't have to deal with two bounties of fruit at the same time! Avi has been talking about an apricot bar recipe that her grandmother was known for, and I'm hoping I can talk her into making some next week with the peaches. We'll definitely be doing some peach crumble pies as well, one of my favorite treats of the summer.

A reminder that there are NO home deliveries this week; the next delivery day is Wednesday, June 24. Any orders placed for home delivery will be fulfilled next week. Inventories are updated for both markets and delivery, and you're welcome to go ahead and place orders as early as you'd like.
