Dear Friends of B & H Organic Produce,
Hope you had a fun 4th of July.
Don't forget to stay hydrated this week.
I will also start posting this email on our blog each week. This will be a way for you to look up recipes. Simply go to our blog (which may be linked from our website) http://bhorganics.blogspot.com/ and if you look in the top left hand corner you can type in a vegetable and if I ever posted a recipe it will come up.
This is what we will be bringing to market on Saturday July 10th (plus a few other surprises)

• Salad Mix
• Radicchio - see recipe below
• Beans
• Summer Squash- patty pan, heirloom zucchini and crookneck
• Cucumbers
• Arugula
• Lettuce
• Basil
• Carrots
• Beets
• Garlic
• Kale
• Parsley
• Swiss Chard

Here is a recipe for grilled Radicchio.
http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/Articles/Produce-638/radicchio.aspx

This recipe calls for the "treviso" radicchio which is the taller or longer type. However, you may also use the more rounded type. We will have both types at market this week.
Note that radicchio is very high in Potassium. Why is that important? Potassium helps the body regulate water balance and is an electrolyte. In this weather that is super important. So put away your colored gatorade and eat radicchio.

Have a great week,
Erica

Dear Friends of B & H Organic Produce,

Thank you all for another successful week at the Elverson Farmer's Market. Don't forget to tell your friends and neighbors about us. The more support we have the more vendors we will get.

Here is what we will have for our markets this weekend.

• Salad Mix
• Cucumbers
• Summer Squash- perfect sizes for grilling
• Arugula
• Lettuce
• Kale
• Swiss Chard
• Green Garlic
• Parsley
• Beets- 3 colors
• Basil
  

And I forgot last week to remind you about our grass-fed beef. All our meat is raised on our farm and sold frozen as cuts. Here is what we will have for your grilling pleasure:

• ground beef
• patties
• chip steak
• delmonico steaks
• tenderloin steaks
• sirloin steaks
  
• NY strip steaks.
  

And for this week's recipe:

Arugula Salad topped with Roasted Beets and Goat Cheese:

• For easy instructions on how to roast beets http://www.theppk.com/recipes/dbrecipes/index.php?RecipeID=29

For a twist on this you can take the beets out early and put them on the grill to finish. Or if it is too hot for your oven simply boil the beets till soft and grill to finish. And don't bother peeling the beets. I never do and they are fine.

• Slice the beets thin and place on a bed of arugula. The beets can be chilled for a cold salad or left hot and placed on the arugula will melt the arugula.
  
• Top with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic and a dolop of goats cheese. Amazing Acres goat farm located in Elverson has a great variety of goat cheese and it is sold at the market.
  
• For a creative way to impress your friends. Prepare all 3 colors of beets separately and then mix them on top of the salad at the end. (if you cook all the colors together the colors will run)

Kale Chips: (this recipe is back by popular demand).
I eat kale at least once a week. Don't be afraid of this recipe and the dehydrator. You can prepare these in the oven at 300 but only for 3-4 minutes or they will burn.

Thank you again and have a super week.

Don't forget the event this weekend. It will be spectacular.
And the strawberries are IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
