Friday Market Update Newsletter
Is there anything more summery than summer squash? Besides grilling and sliced raw into salads, how do you best enjoy this golden goodness?

Learning to enjoy new parts of our common veggies can be fun! I made a delicious carrot top pesto last week, with a little added basil, garlic, walnuts, parm & EVOO – it was delicious! A friend from work told me she makes kohlrabi chips from the leaves, same as kale chips but very light & crispy!

Blackbird Farm & Woven Farm will both have lots of summer squash so be sure to get some! And Earthscape Farm will have kohlrabi & snow peas along with their meats. (meat cuts should be preordered if possible).

On a more serious note, we’re as concerned as everyone else about the price of food these days, particularly meat. Just FYI, our farmers have kept their meat prices down in spite of rising costs on their ends, so not only is ordering from them more economical for you, it also supports our local food economy (instead of the 2 or 3 huge meat conglomerates selling most of what is in the supermarkets). Most importantly, locally raised pastured animals are SO much healthier for you! You can rest assured all the animal products sold at Sweetwater are from small flocks enjoying grassy pastures this time of year, not crowded into buildings & pens and crammed full of antibiotics…….it’s a WIN WIN!
Earthscape Farm & Pine Row Farm will both have a limited amount of beef cuts available for walk up sales, so please consider getting a preorder in ahead of Saturday, it assures you will get the precise cuts you want, as our farmers can’t possibly haul everything they have down to you.
Okay, off the soapbox we go, and we’ll see you at the market!

Blackbird Farms of Coopersville
This week at market, we are again offering our pre-selected, pre-packed bags of fresh vegetables. These bags are something akin to our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares. We assemble bags of our highest quality veggies based on whatever is fresh and in season for that week. In the bag, we aim to have some combination and quantity of at least six different vegetables with a combined value around $20. We also include a brief note from Farmer Greg and a farm-tested recipe. Each bag costs $15.
This week’s bag will likely contain some combination of the following: kale, chard, lettuce, mini-cabbages, kohlrabi, salad turnips, summer squash, zucchini, scallions, and garlic scapes. Again, each bag will cost $15.
To order your Blackbird Farms Veggie Bag, please email us at hello.blackbirdfarms@gmail.com by noon on Thursday. We will then send you an invoice via Square. Payment can also be made via cash or check (payable to Blackbird Farms).
We also plan to have many items for walk-up sales—watch for more information in Friday’s newsletter.

We assemble bags of our highest quality veggies based on whatever is fresh and in season for that week. In the bag, we aim to have some combination and quantity of at least six different vegetables with a combined value around $20. We also include a brief note from Farmer Greg and a farm-tested recipe. Each bag costs $15.
This week’s bag will likely contain some combination of the following: kale, chard, lettuce, radishes, baby fennel, kohlrabi, scallions, and garlic scapes. Again, each bag will cost $15.
To order your Blackbird Farms Veggie Bag, please email us at hello.blackbirdfarms@gmail.com by noon on Thursday. We will then send you an invoice via Square. Payment can also be made via cash or check (payable to Blackbird Farms).
We also plan to have many items for walk-up sales—watch for more information in Friday’s newsletter.

Hello :-),
In the farm news. The mulberries are ripe, milkweed is blooming, and the fireflies are plentiful.

We are in week two of training up a new livestock guardian pup. She is 3 months old. The kids have named her Artemis. I call her Art.

We have bacon, pork belly (a whole slab), fresh side pork (small pieces of pork belly), smoked jowl (also known as guanciale), fresh jowl (phenomenal over the fire), half pork butt roasts plus whole or half pork shoulder roasts (all of which are perfect for pulled pork).

Happy Father’s Day! My Dad insisted on being my soccer coach as a kid, which was not always welcome on my end. Nowadays, I am so thankful he is willing and able to help, and a fan of what we’re doing in the farm. The farm would not be where it is without his assistance. Thank your dad! (Perhaps in grill-able form, check out the list here:)
