FARM NEWS OF THE WEEK
Flying S Farm has added Delicious Bran Muffins to our baked goods selections.
From Amy Rae of Solace Farm:
Homemade pasta is back! I’ve listed some of the classic Fettuccine, and I’ve added Elbow macaroni. Tri-color elbow and fettuccine – with kale and pumpkin – are coming soon! All my pasta is made with half whole wheat flour, half white flour, and our own duck eggs – the colored pastas have our own Solace Farm kale or winter squashes, dried and powdered. If you haven’t had homemade egg pasta, you really should treat yourself – it’s a different thing altogether than the store-bought flour-and-water stuff.
Also, we are still clearing our freezers for the next installment of grass-fed Scottish Highland beef, coming this next week, so this week we are having a special on cubed steaks, $2 off each package. The classic recipe for these tenderized cuts is chicken-fried steak, but they’re also great for Swiss steak, cheese steak sandwiches, and a number of recipes for braising or crockpot cooking.

Debbie Wittig of Knottynuffacres is back from her trip and has turned her market products back on. Welcome back, Debbie!</p
Linda from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse sends this message:
With really warm weather (is it really still mid-February?) moving in this week, the daffodils may not last much longer. Normally they bloom for three weeks, but this year, we may only get two. If you’d like a bouquet, I suggest you order it this week.
Wayne Diller has added several dozen pullet eggs to the market.
From Molly Cornelison of Kountry Vittles Baked Goods:
Everyone seems to be in the mood for a nice refreshing bite of spring so I have added my Fresh Strawberry Pie and my Ultimate Strawberry Cake to the market. My kitchen was busy this past week as I filled over a dozen orders of these highly popular scrumptious deserts. As if the pictures aren’t mouth watering enough you just wait till you get a bite of one of these. Delicious!
