CRESCENT CITY FARMERS MARKET | MARKET MORSELS http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org Summer is sweeter with corn from CCFM | Week of June 17, 2013 ******************************************************************************** FRESH & LOCAL It's chicken keeping week at CCFM! Join us Saturday morning to learn from Josh, an experienced chicken keeper. Josh can help you decide if chicken keeping is for you. Come learn about what they eat, how much space they take up, how to best care for them, and more! It's time to finally learn which came first: the chicken or the egg. ******************************************************************************** PICK OF THE WEEK: Corn! We have sweet corn popping up all over market! This sweet summertime favorite is great grilled, boiled and buttered, and creamed off the cob. Corn has a short season here, so be sure to get your fill while you can. Varieties such as Silver Queen are particularly sweet and tender, and all are high in fiber, vitamins A & B, and minerals. Look for corn at all three of our markets, perfect paired with some pork on the grill, or as a side item to a crawfish boil! ******************************************************************************** TUESDAY'S GREEN PLATE SPECIAL We are loving the empanadas every Tuesday for lunch (sometimes we even eat them as a savory breakfast!) and can't believe there are only 2 more Tuesdays to enjoy them at market. Come on out again this week and chose from their delicious selection. Have you tried their side items? Tasty poblano mac and cheese, and a fresh salad or soup are the perfect add-on! http://empanadaintifada.com ******************************************************************************** RECIPE OF THE WEEK In addition to tasty sweet corn, fresh red beans are back at market! Use both of these summertime veggies in these Red Bean cakes with roasted corn and mushroom salsa, a hearty meatless main course or side item (we have been known to serve this at brunch as well!). Pick up red beans from Indian Springs Cooperative on Tuesdays and Saturdays. http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=recipe-of-the-week ******************************************************************************** UPTOWN 200 Broadway Street near the River Tuesday June 18 | 9 am - 1 pm MID-CITY 3700 Orleans Avenue near the Bayou Thursday June 20 | 3 pm - 7 pm DOWNTOWN 700 Magazine Street at Girod Street Saturday June 22 | 8 am - noon ******************************************************************************** EAT LOCAL CHALLENGE http://www.nolalocavore.org PURCHASE OPTIONS AT THE MARKET http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=purchase-options SUPPORT THE CRESCENT CITY FARMERS MARKET "http://www.marketumbrella.org/market/support_us.html MARKETUMBRELLA.ORG http://www.marketumbrella.org ******************************************************************************** LIKE US ON FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/pages/Crescent-City-Farmers-Market/12780011170 FOLLOW US ON TWITTER https://twitter.com/ccfmtweets TAKE A LOOK ON INSTAGRAM http://instagram.com/crescentcityfarmersmkt
