​TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP!  Vegetarian Stuffed Tomatoes from TheSpruceEats.com. Stuffed tomatoes are a fantastic vegetarian side dish. While they're ideal for summer meals and barbecues because that's the peak of tomato season, they make a versatile and easy addition to the dinner table any day of the year. Find your tomatoes, breads and more for this recipe at the market. In lieu of mozzarella and parmesan, try substituting Moo Cow Creamery's Smoked Gouda cheese which you may find at Chestnut Hill Farm & Market's stand.

What's so great about tomatoes? 
Tomatoes are loaded with a substance called lycopene. It gives them their bright red color and helps protect them from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. In much the same way, it can help protect your cells from damage. Tomatoes also have potassium, vitamins B and E, and other nutrients. Learn about the many health benefits of eating tomatoes by reading the following WebMD article,  The Health Benefits of Tomatoes.

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP!  Brioche french toast with caramelised [sic] peaches from Delicious.com.au's 50 ways with peaches that are ripe for the picking. Is there a better way to start the day than with sweet peaches, buttery brioche and a dusting of fresh herbs? If you cannot find brioche at the market, check with one of our bakers to find the next best freshly baked bread or pastry to use. Find peaches at one of our two fruit and vegetable vendors.

Did you know? Peach Trees produce fruit for about 12 years. Yellow Peaches are high in Acid & low in sugar while white peaches are low in acid & high in sugar. Cling-stone peaches are early-season varieties and free-stone peaches are later in the season.  The "stone" is the pit. One small peach provides 51 calories, 1.2g of protein, 12.4g of carbohydrates, and 0.3g of fat. Peaches are an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber, and vitamin A. This nutrition information is provided by the USDA.

​TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Cold Cucumber Salad (Garden-to-Table) from  Saving Room for Dessert. Fresh from the garden ~ crispy, Cold Cucumber Salad with fresh dill ~ is a delicious salad made with a just a few fresh ingredients. Think creamy dill pickle! 

 Stay Hydrated, Enjoy Cucumbers! Enjoy the hot summer days by keeping your body well-hydrated with the help of fresh cucumbers. As an added benefit, lose weight and prevent chronic ailments at the same time. Doctors often advise you to remain hydrated. They ask you to drink adequate amounts of water that will keep your body healthy and rejuvenated. However, simply glugging enormous quantities of water by itself is boring and can leave you cold and feeling heavy. You do not have to depend only on water or liquids to keep your body hydrated and nourished perfectly. You can always replenish the lost quantity by biting into a cucumber. Nutritionists reveal that cucumber contains 95% water, making it an excellent source to stay hydrated. Learn more by reading 12 Health Benefits of Eating Cucumber, from healthifyme.com.

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! ​Roasted Acorn Squash and Honey from Epicurious' 39 Best Acorn Squash Recipes to Try Now! If you're looking for a little sweetness, this is one of the best acorn squash recipes. On a cool evening, serve this roasted acorn squash tossed with honey, nutmeg, and fresh sage leaves as a side dish for pork or chicken, or nestle a few slices in a bowl of whole grains. Find your Acorn Squash and Honey at the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market this Wednesday!

Did you know? According to Epicurious' A Visual Guide to Winter Squash Varieties, there are 12 main types of Winter Squash. The term winter squash is a bit of a misnomer: Harvested in the fall, these hardy vegetables will keep well through the cold winter months for which they're named. Naturally low in fat and calories, the winter squash family delivers significant nutritional benefits. For example, one cup of baked butternut squash is rich in vitamins A (from beta carotene), B6, C, and E, as well as magnesium, potassium, and manganese. 


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, the Delta variant is still on the rise. If you are not vaccinated, we encourage you to wear a mask to protect yourself and others. 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!

​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, the Delta variant is still on the rise. If you are not vaccinated, we encourage you to wear a mask to protect yourself and others. 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!
