Dublin Farmers' Market: September 25th

“Good farmers, who take seriously their duties as stewards of Creation and of their land's inheritors, contribute to the welfare of society in more ways than society usually acknowledges, or even knows. These farmers produce valuable goods, of course; but they also conserve soil, they conserve water, they conserve wildlife, they conserve open space, they conserve scenery.”

Wendell Berry, Bringing it to the Table: Writings on Farming and Food

Dublin Farmers' Market: August 28th

“Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.”

Alice Waters

Back to school, and wondering, "What's for lunch?" 

Many children consume at least half of their meals at school, and for many children, food served at school may be the only food they regularly eat. With more than 32 million children participating in the National School Lunch Program and more than 12 million participating in the School Breakfast Program, good nutrition at school is more important than ever.

Principles, teachers, school nutrition workers and parents are helping to make schools healthier places to learn by providing quality food and teaching children about the importance of nutrition and embracing a healthy active lifestyle.

Read about a mother and teacher, compelled by her own frustration with school meals, and her journey in eating school lunch every school day in 2010 just like her students. The book is Fed Up with Lunch: The School Lunch Project: How One Anonymous Teacher Revealed the Truth About School Lunches –And How We Can Change Them!

Dublin Farmers' Market: August 21st

"One should eat to live, not live to eat."

Moliere

Farm-to-Fork. Seed-to-Plate. Farm-to-Table. It doesn't matter what you call it, there are all types of events, themes, and definitions for celebrating our agricultural diets and lifestyles.

Farm-to-table (or farm-to-fork) refers to the stages of the production of food: harvesting, storage, processing, packaging, sales, and consumption. Farm-to-table also refers to a movement concerned with producing food locally and delivering that food to local consumers. Linked to the local food movement, the movement is promoted by some in the agriculture, food service, and restaurant communities. It may also be associated with organic farming initiatives, sustainable agriculture, and community-supported agriculture.

So how do you celebrate local food?

Dublin Farmers' Market: August 14th

“According to analyses conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 100 grams of fresh tomato today has 30 percent less vitamin C, 30 percent less thiamin, 19 percent less niacin, and 62 percent less calcium than it did in the 1960s. But the modern tomato does shame it's counterpart in one area: It contains fourteen times as much sodium.”

Barry Estabrook, Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit

Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes... It's tomato season at the Dublin Farmers' Market! 

Scalloped Tomatoes from Saveur Magazine

4 cups fresh bread crumbs
¼ cup melted butter or extra-virgin olive oil 

2 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ripe tomatoes, thickly sliced

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Combine bread crumbs, butter (or oil), chives, parsley, thyme leaves, and salt and pepper to taste.

2. Press half the bread crumb mixture into a large baking dish to form a "crust." Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes.

3. Remove dish from oven, arrange a layer of tomatoes over bread crumbs, and sprinkle with more bread crumbs. Repeat process until tomatoes are used up, ending with a layer of bread crumbs. Bake until crumbs are golden and tomatoes are warm, about 10 minutes.

Dublin Farmers' Market: July 31st

"It’s difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato."

Lewis Grizzard

Food for thought...

In the United States, a pound of potato chips costs two hundred times more than a pound of potatoes.

Apples are more proficient at waking you up in the morning than coffee.

Only food that does not spoil? Honey.

The average ear of corn has eight-hundred 

kernels arranged in sixteen rows.

Americans eat about 30 pounds of lettuce every year.

Hmm... Interesting, huh?!

Dublin Farmers' Market: July 10th

“...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.”

Julia Child, My Life in France

It's the second Wednesday of the month, which means it's time for Whole Foods Market to join us! Visit the market, collect recipe ideas, and shop for local goods. In case you missed their first visit, here's the recipe.

Tuscan Summer Asparagus

1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
1/2 cup prosciutto, julienned
1 medium shallot, minced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup grape tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
balsamic reduction

In a large stock pot, bring salted water up to a boil. Blanch asparagus spears for 1 1/2 minutes, remove and shock immediately in a large container of ice water. This will stop the cooking process and allow for the asparagus to retain its bright green color. Drain the asparagus and allow to dry a couple minutes.

In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium heat, add prosciutto and cook just until prosciutto begins to brown. Add shallots, asparagus, and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking a couple minutes, but not disturbing asparagus as this encourages it to brown and caramelize. Add lemon and thyme and toss to evenly disperse in asparagus. Place asparagus on serving plate and put skillet back over heat.

Once skillet heats up again, add tomatoes until they just start to blister, then add a drizzle of balsamic, toss and lay over asparagus on serving plate. Garnish with pine nuts and drizzle with balsamic reduction.

Dublin Farmers' Market: May 29th

“A fruit is a vegetable with looks and money. Plus, if you let fruit rot, it turns into wine, something Brussels sprouts never do.”

P. J. O’Rourk

Strawberries, strawberries, strawberries! 

They're here, but not for long. Strawberries have a short season, usually lasting 4-6 weeks, depending on the weather. So whether you're canning, freezing, or just snacking, stock up while you can.

In the mood for a quick, but delicious strawberry jam? Try this recipe from Martha Stewart.

Quick Strawberry Jam

1 quart hulled strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

In a food processor, process strawberries until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a large skillet and stir in sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high, stirring frequently, until jam is thickened and bubbles completely cover surface, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer jam to a jar and let cool to room temperature. (To store, seal jar and refrigerate, up to 10 days).

Yield: 1 3/4 cups

Dublin Farmers' Market: May 15th

You know, when you get your first asparagus, or your first acorn squash, or your first really good tomato of the season, those are the moments that define the cook's year. I get more excited by that than anything else.

Mario Batali 

It's a delicious time of year for sure! Asparagus and strawberries are just the beginning of a bountiful farmers' market season! This week, Hirsch Fruit Farm will bring loads of asparagus for you to grill, saute, steam, wrap in bacon, or make into soup. Here's a recipe from celebrity chef, Emeril Lagasse.

Asparagus Soup

3 pounds fresh asparagus, rinsed
8 cups chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup minced shallots
1 cup minced leeks, whites only, well rinsed
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, garnish

Trim the attractive top tips from the asparagus, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in length. Cut the woody stem ends from each spear and reserve. Cut the remaining tender stalks into 1/2-inch pieces.

In a medium pot, bring the stock to a boil. Add the tough woody stems, lower the heat and simmer to infuse with asparagus flavor, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and discard, reserving the stock.

Add the decorative tips to the stock and blanch until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove with a strainer and refresh in an ice water bath. Drain on paper towels and reserve for the garnish. Reserve the stock.

In a medium stockpot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. When foamy, add the shallots and leeks and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped asparagus stalks, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the reserved broth and simmer until the asparagus are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.

With a hand-immersion blender or in batches in a food processor, puree the soup until smooth. Adjust the seasoning, to taste. If serving right away, return to medium heat and add the cream and reserved asparagus tips. Cook, stirring, until the soup is warmed through, about 3 minutes.

Alternatively, if serving the soup later, do not add the cream and let cool at room temperature (or in an ice water bath). Cover and refrigerate. Before serving, add the cream and asparagus tips, and warm the soup gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Yield: 8-12 servings

Dublin Farmers' Market: May 8th

When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste.

Laiko Bahrs

A journalist recently asked, "Why are farmers' markets gaining so much popularity lately?"

While there are plenty of reasons for the growth and momentum of farmers' markets, it's the simple fact that consumers want a greater connection with their food source. They want to know who grew it, where they grew it, when it was picked, what's the variety, how to cook it, how to store it... They want to ask questions. And they want to ask the farmer, the baker, or the jam maker. Ask the average grocery store clerk about the variety of carrots you're buying. Do you suppose they know, or care?

People want to feel more connected to the food that graces their table. At the Dublin Farmers' Market, you're talking to the farmer or the baker. They'll tell you when they picked it. They'll tell you how they canned their jam. They'll tell you where they get the flour for their bread. Our vendors are happy to answer your questions. Visit the Dublin Farmers' Market, and get to know your food!
