In the next few weeks the selection will increase. Forest Run Farm also offers vegetable plants for your garden—all started at the farm and grown organically.

If you are new to this market and have questions, please email farmer@forestrunfarm.com and we will get back to you.
How to use lovage
• Cook with lentils- saute a few leaves with onions, add lentils and cook slowly.
• Chop the leaves and add to cream cheese—use as a stuffing in a chicken breast.
• Pesto is traditionally made with basil, but can be made with most herbs. I use sorrel and lovage.
• Lovage, chopped finely, can be used on a pizza topping.
• Lovage is excellent with fish, such as salmon
• Chop the leaves in a fresh leaf and herb salad- dress with your favorite dressing.

HI EVERYBODY!
This Week’s Market Availability is going to be low as a couple of main providers take a week to recoup and transition into a higher gear. LEILANI’S and MY DAILY BREAD are both down for the week.
But do not despair. More and different Produce will be available for May 22nd, and maybe fresh Berries as well, and we’re only 2 or 3 weeks away from the season’s first Tomatoes! So, good times are coming!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can order until Tuesday night at 8pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.
You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net
We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.
