“If you eat, you’re involved in agriculture.”
Wendell Berry
On Tuesday, July 24th, Ohio First Lady Karen W. Kasich and Ohio Agriculture Director David T. Daniels recognized Women in Ohio Agriculture at the Governor's Residence in Bexley, Ohio.
“These Ohio women have had an incredible impact on our state’s largest industry,” said Mrs. Kasich, who announced the creation of the award during last year’s Ohio State Fair. “It is an honor to recognize them today for their strength, leadership, and outstanding contributions.”
Among the nominees was our very own Kathy Rhoads from Rhoads Farm. Rhoads Farm has been a fixture in the central Ohio community since 1958, and Kathy is a true agricultural advocate. Read more about Kathy and Rhoads Farm in the Spring 2011 issue of Edible Columbus.
To Kathy and all the women in agriculture, congratulations and THANK YOU!

Dublin Farmers' Market: July 11th
“You are what you eat eats.”
Michael Pollan
Have a favorite cookbook or recipe? We've come across a few cookbooks we find especially delicious, and thought we should share them, and a favorite recipe that's perfect for tomato season!
Tomato & Basil Pasta
garlic
cherry tomatoes
basil
salt and pepper
red pepper flake
olive oil
spaghetti
Slice cherry tomatoes in half, or quarters if large, and put in a bowl. Smash some of the tomatoes, creating some juice in the bottom of the bowl.
Mince garlic and add to tomatoes. Rip or finely chop basil and add to tomatoes. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Drizzle the mixture with olive oil, enough to generously coat the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours if possible.
Cook pasta as directed. When cooked, toss with tomato mixture, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
This recipe is from Jaime at Wayward Seed Farm.

One of the secrets, and pleasures, of cooking is to learn to correct something if it goes awry; and one of the lessons is to grin and bear it if it cannot be fixed.

There are dozens of ways to cook sweet corn, and most of us have our preferred method, but how about things you shouldn't do to corn? Here are three things you should not do when cooking sweet corn:
- Don't add salt to the water. It only toughens the corn when it cooks.
- Don't cool off hot corn by running under cold water. It will make the corn soggy.
- Don't overcook or the kernels will get hard and the corn will loose some of its sweet flavor.

Dublin Farmers' Market: June 13th
When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.
Euripides
Market season is in full swing! Here are five tips for getting the most from your farmers' market:
Bring your own bags and baskets. By bringing your own bags, you reduce waste at the market and in your own home.
Bring cash and small bills. By bringing cash and – specifically – small bills, you keep money in your farmer’s pocket and you make it easier for him to make change for the masses of folks who bring nothing but $20 bills from the nearby ATM.
Go early, but not too early. The best stuff goes fast. A farmer may only have a single flat of ripe, juicy blackberries or a couple of pounds of fresh green peas, so arrive early to make sure you get the best pick of the market’s high-demand, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Ask questions. When you're at the Dublin Farmers' Market, you're talking with the person who grew the food, or one that works on the farm. Take the time to ask questions. What are your cows eating? Are your vegetables organic? Is your farm ever open to the public? Do you grow what you sell? Ask questions.
Know the crop calendar. If you want to eat in season, you need to respect the seasons. Part of the pleasure of shopping at your local market is developing an appreciation of fresh, local foods at the height of their natural season.

Dublin Farmers' Market: June 6th
“The shared meal elevates eating from a mechanical process of fueling the body to a ritual of family and community, from the mere animal biology to an act of culture."
