Falls Church: Moutoux Orchard Local Flour
30 Aug 2009 Author: Ketzirah In: Market Reports
- Locally grown and milled flour!
I get asked all the time if I know a place to get locally grown & milled flour. Somehow, I’ve miss Moutoux Orchards all these years. They are a local CSA/Direct farm that grows the standard fruits and vegetables, but also has grains. Art D. and I took our first trip over to the Falls Church farmers market and were really pleased by what we found. This market isn’t exactly nearby for us, but somehow I think we’ll be find excuses to head out there more often.

Beetza is the flavor sensation that is rockin' the nation
Too hot to use the oven, so I fired up the grill. Whole wheat crust made form Raphine Mill flour, beets from Bloomingdale farmers market, Goat cheese from Cherry Glen Farm, fennel from Bull Run Mountain farm. Wood from my shop and the neighbor’s oak tree

Farm to Table: 6 Nights of Market Meals

Aug 23 Market Buys
One of the comments we hear a lot is … so, the gooseberries are great and all, but I can’t make real meals just by shopping at the farmers markets. And, even if I could, it would cost a fortune!
Well, we’re here to dispel those myths and show you how it can be done. This week, my CSA brought me corn, summer squash, tomatoes, lettuce, and peaches. At the market (see above), I bought peaches, pluots, eggplant, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, pimientos (the little red peppers), basil, chives, dandelion greens, sweet potato ravioli, garlic lingini, bread, mozarella cheese, and blackberry ice cream (Dolcezza is totally worth the $6 splurge!). Here’s my plan for the week:

Takoma Park: Pluots, Tomatoes, and Cookies!
16 Aug 2009 Author: Ketzirah In: Market Reports
Tomatoes, Pluots and ... Cookies in the nomming bowl? How did those get there?
It was HOT today, but that didn’t seem to slow things down at the Takoma Park farmers market. It was one of the biggest crowds I’ve seen all summer. We (me and Art D.) didn’t have a shopping list, so there was nothing on the agenda to find today — other than fill the “nomming” bowl, of course. And fill it we did.
