It's Summer! Time to Order
Good afternoon on this fine Sunday! The sun is shining for now on this last day of May. I hope you all have a chance to get out and enjoy it before the rain begins.
The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your orders by Monday at 10 p.m. Orders are ready for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. on Wednesday, in our NEW location on Adams Street. Be sure to check the website for all of this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market
All the kids are out of school, and summer is officially here. Ah, summertime – when the days are longer and the living is easy! This is my favorite time of the year, and I love the cobalt blue skies and fluffy white clouds, bees buzzing, and flowers blooming. Summer produces some of my favorite edibles, too – tomatoes, watermelon, peaches, cucumbers, summer squash and basil, to name a few.
Here is a sandwich idea to try this summer. Take a pita bread and slice it in half so you get two pockets. Lightly apply mayo, mustard, or condiment of your choice to the inside of each bread pocket. Lightly sauté half of a chopped onion and half of a bell pepper in a bit of butter or olive oil. Once the vegetables have softened, fill each pocket with some of the mixture. Sprinkle with a little dried basil, oregano, or freshly ground black pepper and add a slice or two of mozzarella. Heat underneath a broiler, just until the bread crisps and the cheese melts. It doesn’t take long; be careful that you don’t burn the bread. This makes enough for two sandwiches. Enjoy!
For those of you who haven’t yet been to our new location, here are some directions, from our original location on Concord Street (Highway 18). Turn right onto Adams Street across from the Zebulon First Baptist Church, go past the Board of Education on the right, and past the old Zebulon Elementary school and bus garage on the left. The new location is the next driveway on the left, a little bungalow style house (it’s the only house on that side of Adams Street). If you are coming from Griffin, you can turn right on Dunn Street, just past the main branch of United Bank. When Dunn Street ends, turn left, and the Market is on the right.
Thank you for supporting locally grown agriculture and for choosing to purchase locally. Have a great day, and we’ll see you at the Market on Wednesday!
Thanks,
Beverly
