"The summer wind came blowin' in from across the sea. It lingered there so warm and fair, to walk with me.
All summer long, we sang a song and then we strolled on golden sand, two amigos and the summer wind. . . ."
Summer Wind by Frank Sinatra

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! ​ Mushroom and Spinach Bread Pudding from Good Housekeeping's 30 Best Egg Recipes That Are Healthy and Simple to Make for Any Meal.  This hearty make-ahead brunch dish is full of the good stuff: mushrooms, spinach, eggs, bread, cheese, and more cheese.  Find your  organic rainbow eggs and greens from Homewood Farm, eggs & local cheese from Stafford Farm, and substitute some Chesapeake Fungi Farm's Chestnut Mushrooms for the Cremini Mushrooms!

According to The Incredible Egg's Value of Eggs, "A dozen large eggs is 1.5 pounds of high-quality protein that is versatile and delicious. Even in this time of higher prices, the nutrition value of eggs remains a great value. Eggs are an all-around nutrient powerhouse, with high-quality protein and essential vitamins and minerals for healthy living like choline, vitamin B12, and iodine. They’re essential to meeting the daily nutrition needs of Americans."


Be sure to visit all of our amazing farmers and producers as listed above, and cool your core with a Jessica's Snowball while you're at the Market this Wednesday!
