Taking a Break!

Just a quick note to let you know that we are not going to be at the market Saturday, August 22 and September 5. We are moving to a new house!! Unfortunately that means that our weekends are crazy for a little while. We do have jars in the freezer and would be more than happy to make a delivery or let you now where you can come pick some up! Enjoy the summery weather!

August 15 Gardeners Market

Well, a few of you have requested "finger foods" for kiddos who are ready to pick up their own little bits. So along with the smoother stuff, we have a couple varieties of chunky and semi-chunky foods to choose from. Here's what you'll find in the freezer this week:

• potato-zucchini-sweet corn : chunky
• sweet pea-carrot-apple : chunky
• red lentil-apple-celery : semi-smooth
• banana-carrot-mango : smooth
• apricot-banana-couscous: smooth
  
• cannellini beans and couscous in a creamy broccoli sauce: chunky with sauce

Hope to see you at the market but if you can't make it, please feel free to call in an order anytime!

July 25 Market

For this Saturday's market we have a few great foods with local organic ingredients! The chard, beets, cherries, potatoes, zucchini and raspberries are all local and the fruit is spray-free while all of the other ingredients are certified organic. Lately we've found that our daughter is loving the sorbet, which is really just smooth food with only half the thaw time!
Here's the menu:

• Raisin-Raspberry-Banana-Couscous
• Carrot-Cherry-Banana Sorbet (with a bit of coconut milk)
• Sweet Pea-Apple-Avocado
• Golden Beet-Chard-Couscous (apple juice for sweetener)
• Zucchini-Potato Gratin (sauce has whole wheat flour, soy milk, nutritional yeast and a dash of salt)

And as always, we have a few leftover from last weekend. Hope to see you at the market!

Mama Birds at the Market!

Hello everyone!

Well, the Cache Valley Gardeners Market is officially open for 2009 and we're excited to see you all there! I will be there with a few jars of baby food each Saturday and plenty of order forms for those of you who would like to have a stash for your freezer.
This summer I am sharing a table with my long-time friend and fellow health-nut. We are calling this venture, "Two Mama Birds". We have lots of tasty treats for you and your kiddos and especially for those with food allergies. So far, we're selling whole wheat soft pretzels, whole wheat graham crackers, gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, gluten-free banana muffins and gluten-free fig bars. All delicious and super for little bodies and minds!
As always, if you would like to order anything, please feel free to email anytime! Also, if you or your kids have allergies and you're looking for treats without certain ingredients, please let us know so that we can make you a special batch!
Happy Spring!

Winter Update

Hello out there! It's been quite a while since we've posted any news so now that the holidays are behind us and we're settling back into a somewhat regular routine, it seems like a good time for a quick update. It's slim pickins in the produce world but I still have some frozen organics from last season and can find a few others fresh. The cereals and biscuits are always available, quite nice for chilly winter mornings! Here is a list of the ingredients currently available for frozen jars:
peas, carrots, potatoes, apples, pears, peaches, mango, and hopefully yams, avocado and squash if the orders come through.
Hope that you're all doing well and enjoying the little ones in your lives!
Cheers!
