New in the Market…Make it a Meal, ideas to make meal prep easy!

Once we know what’s available this week, we’ll ‘bundle’ items to make serving healthy fresh meals easy! Our first Make it a Meal suggestion is a fast, nutritious stir fry. It incorporates a stir fry kit from Strawberry Lane Produce with your choice of proteins: Cleveland Tofu, Copley’s Fresh Start Farm chicken breast, Cherry Hill Ecological Farm chorizo sausage or Hillside Dairy and Beef steak. Voila! It’s a meal!

Food for Thought

Wondering what’s on our minds when we’re not selling great local food or meeting with new producers? Following up on our look at the Slow Food movement in our last newsletter, we want to talk about the Slow Flower Society. Members of this group are “dedicated to preserving domestic flower farms and supporting a floral industry that relies on a safe, seasonal and local supply of sustainably-farmed flowers and foliage.” Flower farming, like every type of sustainable farming, should be done in a way that maintains soil and human health.
