Well, this week’s market looks to be cool and perhaps damp but not soggy so we hope that you all plan to come on out!!
This cool and wet weather is going to continue to slow down the produce but we do have some rhubarb this year. We are still attempting to revive our rhubarb patch after an outbreak of voles that got into it and ate the roots. It appears that there will be some Rhubarb this year, not as much as we have had in the past but at least there will be a few pounds to offer our customers. This site has the biggest collection of rhubarb recipes that I have ever seen; make sure to check it out for some new recipe ideas. http://www.rhubarbinfo.com/recipes
If you would rather not have to cook with rhubarb but want a little treat, I made a fresh batch of Rhubarb Strawberry Jam this past week.

Something else that we will be adding to our tables this week is our Plantain Salve. Many of you have bought this in the past. I think everyone in my family has their own personal jar. We use it for chapped or cracked skin. It also works terrific for anything that makes us itch. It even works on chiggers!! Plantain is a natural antibiotic and it is wonderful for keeping infection out of those minor cuts and scrapes. (We have even used it in some not so minor cuts.)
We will have our usual Focaccia Bread, a couple of sandwich loaves and a couple of Artisan Greek loaves.
This week’s Gluten/Grain Free items are Brownies, Brown Bread, and Raisin Bread.
