 TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Chicken Caprese from the 2020 Maryland Buy Local Challenge Celebration Recipe Book. While you're at the market, be sure to pick up farm-fresh tomatoes and basil from our two fruit and vegetable vendors; and your chicken and cheese from Whispering Breeze Farm. You may easily substitute Whispering Breeze Farm's gouda or havarti for the mozzarella called for in this recipe. Have you ever carved up a whole chicken? There are tricks to the trade as Craig Sewell demonstrates in SMADC's special cooking series, In a Cooks Kitchen episode 6: Carving a Chicken & Chicken Stock. Chicken is rich in a variety of important nutrients, including protein, niacin, selenium, and phosphorus, according to Healthline's Is Chicken Healthy? Nutrition, Benefits, and Tips. Chicken is highly nutritious and a good source of protein. Adding chicken to your diet may help support weight loss, muscle growth, and bone health.
COVID 19 Updates: Our patrons may still place preorders for pick-up at the market during 2021. While the statewide mandates set by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan to mitigate COVID-19 have been relaxed and lifted as of July 1st, COVID-19 is still present and there may be variants. We are on the 45-day grace period. Therefore, we request that everyone entering the market show respect for our community. Our patrons, vendors and farmers' market team appreciate it. We encourage social distancing, and hand washing/sanitation while on-site at the market. Our vendors who are serving samples and prepared food will still wear masks to protect the public; however, we leave the choice to you to mask up. Patience is appreciated as we navigate health and safety practices as we recover from uncertain times. As Spock would say, "Live Long and Prosper." That's what we want for you, so come Buy Local and Eat Fresh and Healthy, and spend time outside with us at the 2021 Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market!
