Dawson Harvest for July 28th
Beef, Baked Goods, and More This Week on Dawson Harvest!
HI GUYS!
Lots of News This Week! Lets start with COPPERHEAD HOMESTEAD who has returned with their fabulous grass-fed Beef (many compliments). More importantly they have added a new “employee”, Aurora Charnelle who joined the company (and the world) this past week on July 20th. Congratulations, mom Andrea!
Next, MY DAILY BREAD is back with their full menu of baked Yummies! Plus they have Figs available for the next couple of weeks or so. Look for them in the Fruit listing.
I love CULTURAL TRADITIONS. Tanya is always experimenting and adding new products as the seasons change. New this week, fermented Cherry Tomatoes, a true Russian delicacy. Lots of exciting tastes available for your palette. You’ll find them in the Fermented/Probiotic section.
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!

Hello!
The dog days are here ! It is hot and humid out there- no fun to be outside unless a creek, river, or lake is involved! Hopefully we’ll get some rain and cooler temps this coming week, and that will bring some relief to the plants and the farmers!
We’ve got a great selection this week! Summers bounty is upon us! Still lots of tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, as well as a nice selection beans and peas. The berries may be over, but we’ve got those deliciously cooling fruits of high summer- watermelon!
We know you have many options this time of year- thank you for supporting Fresh Harvest!
Stay cool out there, and thanks again for your support!See you Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee

Greener Acres Farm: Tomatoes, Blackberries, Pickling Cukes, and More!!
Tomatoes, Blackberries, Pickling Cukes, and More!!
So much more this week is tantalize your tastebuds
Tomatoes!!
Tomatoes are finally starting to develop their full color and flavor. They are in limited quantities this week but will definitely be increasing in quantity in the following weeks.
This week we have mixed cherry tomatoes, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye, Ananas Noire (Black Pineapple), Ruffled Paste, Striped Roman Paste, Pink and Yellow Beefsteak, Yellow Brandywine, Paul Robeson, and small red tomatoes. Many of the heirlooms are an astounding 1 1/2-2 pounds each.
Peppers!!
Some many peppers… The usual EXTRA LARGE green peppers and Flavorburst we have been carrying, but now we have added the medium purple sweet peppers, sweet banana peppers, mild hot banana peppers, jalapeno and purple chili peppers.
Green Beans!!
New this week, freshly picked green beans, purple green beans and yellow wax beans.
Purple green beans are an amazingly beautiful royal purple color when picked, but magically change color to a vivid green when cooked. They also have higher levels of anti-oxidants.
Fruit!!
This week we have wild harvested blackberries. Smaller than our cultivated blackberries (which should be ready in the next one to two weeks) but still quite tasty.
And garden huckleberries, ever heard of them?? They look similar to blueberries, but are very tart. NOT TO BE EATEN RAW! This beautiful berries must be cooked with sugar, but make amazing pies and jams.
Pickling Cucumbers
We unfortunately do not have any long slicing cucumbers this week, but do have pickling cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, and some tasty little gems known as Mexican Sour Gherkins or Cucamelons.
Independence,VA: Market closes Monday night!

Good afternoon!
Despite this summer heat, our Growers have managed to list some wonderful, locally grown produce this week. Take a look at over 500 items available now.
Have you always wanted to try canning? If so, now is a good time to try your hand at making pickles, jellies, or even pickled okra. Lots of easy and delicious recipes are available online. You can do it!
Here’s a unique opportunity: Do you know of someone, maybe a young couple, who is looking for some land so they can be homesteaders and produce some of their own food? We have a house that would be great for them. It’s a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom ranch house on 1.8 acres on Acklin Gap Road, just 3 miles north of Conway. There are already some producing fruit and pecan trees there, and a well for the garden. If interested, please text Steve at 501-339-1039.
Be sure to search for your favorite items using the search field.
Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!
And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)
The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping:

Our gardens are in full production mode! The green beans in Mama’s garden need to be picked just about every day now. She has been putting them up in quart size canning jars. They will reappear at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. How wonderful it is to have homegrown vegetables in the late fall and winter.
The weather is so hot that I don’t much feel like heating the kitchen up to cook. I am satisfied with a pimento cheese sandwich or a tomato sandwich, but Charlie’s birthday is at the end of this week (he’s turning 8!), and he has requested some of his favorite foods. Last night he was delighted to sit down to a supper of glazed meatloaf, mashed potatoes, biscuits, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lady peas. Also on his list is chicken and dumplings. We’ll see about that later in the week.
We hope that you all are having a good summer, and we look forward to seeing you at the Market.
Thanks,
Beverly

The Market is open. We have plenty of summer treats, including Loblolly ice cream (we highly recommend the salted caramel – yum!) and delicious watermelons.
Thank you to everyone who was able to volunteer on Saturday at the Watermelon Crawl. The Green Groceries program was able to harvest enough watermelons to send all of their participants home with one this Tuesday!
This Thursday the Southern Center For Agroecology is hosting a Pickled Okra Canning Workshop at Natural Grocers. The workshop starts at 6pm, and you can reserve your spot online.
