Make a Difference, Making Dinner

Home cooked meals bring families together. These meals add color, flavor and variety to your week. The task of gathering ingredients at the Pleasantville Farmers Market helps many of us to see friends briefly. Trying new recipes can offer a form of cultural exchange and travel. The Market brings in producers with the best ingredients and prepared foods we're likely to find. All these opportunities can offer a positive effect to your week and menu, but they also make a big difference for your producers -- helping them continue to provide their delicious, regionally-grown food and protect nearby open spaces. So a win-win on many levels! See you outdoors at Memorial Plaza.

Phelps Health Tip:
Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following: "Eat your greens! Something many people don't know is that the leaves of vegetables are richest in nutrient content, followed right after by the flowers and the stems. The darker the leaves the greater the vitamins and minerals. Spinach, Swiss chard, kale and turnip greens are all high in nutrients and low in calories and should be eaten frequently!"

VENDOR HIGHLIGHTS For Saturday:

NEW! Teagevity & BeanLuv are rolling out their popular drinks, bottled to go! You either can preorder loose tea (2oz. kraft bags), roasted coffee beans (8oz. kraft bags) OR choose from new 16oz. bottles of these favorites: BeanLuv's Cold Brew and Tea 2go teas (Hibiscus Pineapple, Blood Orange & Hibiscus, Strawberry Fields, Ginger Root, Elderberry and Chaga).

Mead Orchards has 20 varieties of apples to offer for baking and snacking. They offer apple cider and cherry apple cider. They sell applesauce with one ingredient: their Hudson Valley apples! Please check out all Mead's items and preorder tonight.

Gajeski Produce has well stored Russet potatoes (and more). With an eye on those potatoes and a goal to produce cheerfully delicious, warming dishes in deep winter, check out this recipe link from Food52.com of Francis Mallmann's Potato Dominoes. No we don't clarify the butter, and we debate mandolin or patient knife work, but overall this is the simple potato dish that works every time. Here's the chatty intro and the follow up recipe details. Preorder potatoes and enjoy!

New Maple View Farm joined us in December to sustain our 9th winter offering of winter-grown greens to market shoppers. Farmer Kyle had ramped up production, (miraculously) anticipating we'd knock on his high tunnel door, but he notes his inventory will be tightest over the next 4 weeks as he waits on a new pulse of greens to mature so it can again fill out Maple View's impressive offerings in PFM-O. He asks your patience during this phase and suggests you preorder favorite items on Tuesday nights as a lighter inventory in some items will cause them to sell out quickly.

Spice Revolution has their PFM-O store loaded with so many ways to add flavor! This week they're highlighting their first batch of White Truffle Salt for 2021 (pieces of white truffle are shaved into French sea salt, creating a sea salt that is aromatic and delicious). As always a little bit goes a long way.

Conant Valley Jams says you can brighten up your mornings with a dab of fresh fruit preserves on toast, in yogurt, or in your oatmeal. This manager will go on record to verify that the purchase of their fruit-forward Anjou Pear jam did brighten many recent mornings. Pick your jam flavor and see if you feel the same. We bet you will.
