"August, I'll see you soon under yellow moons where I'll gather what's left of you. . . . Someday we'll meet beyond the stars and it'll be away from here. Someday we'll meet beyond the limits of who we are,  and it'll be away from here."
~ August by Rilo Kiley

Rain, Shine ~or~ Heat of Day - Join us for Week 13 of the 2021 Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market on Wednesday, August 25th, 3-7 PM!  We're in the Railyard behind the historic Mount Airy train station at 3 North Main Street, Mount Airy, MD 21771.  Convenient parking is available in upper and lower the Bank Parking Lots across Main Street and up in the  Municipal  Parking  Lot off of Park Avenue.

It's the end of August when the harvest season transitions to autumn. We'll find some fall local veggies and fruit, when the season (hopefully) starts to get a bit cooler, and when fall crops start to appear! Look for Apples, Asian Pears, Fall and Winter Squash to appear in September! For a local harvest calendar, check out Maryland's Harvest Calendar by clicking here.

Often she brings others to play along with her and this Wednesday, it will be the Stroups of Three-4-All who play a variety of instruments.  Look for Joanne to return the fourth Wednesdays of the month throughout the season!

Picture
STORYTIME AT THE MARKET ~ 4:30-4:45 PM: Join us as local ​storyteller, Laura Zaborowski, reads "Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing," by Judi & Ron Barrett. Animals should definitely not wear clothing….because a snake would lose it, a billy goat would eat it for lunch, and it would always be wet on a walrus! This popular book by Judi Barrett and Ron Barrett shows the very youngest why animals’ natural clothing is perfect just as it is. This is Laura's last time reading this season at the 2021 Mount Airy Main Street Farmers’ Market!

BASIL - Learn 12 Cool Facts About Basil! Basil is by far my most favorite herb in the world.  Many use it in everything from pesto to  to salads to vinaigrettes and fruity smoothies. You can even make little bouquets of flowers mixed in oregano, purple and green basil sprigs to keep on your kitchen counter.  In addition to these facts, learn about how using basil can help keep you healthy!  Per Medical News Today, Basil may provide health benefits in the diet, as herbal medicine, and as an essential oil. Traditional uses (Trusted Source) include the treatment of snakebites, colds, and inflammation within nasal passages — a common effect of colds, for example. Basil provides some macronutrients, such as calcium and vitamin K, as well as a range of antioxidants.

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! ​ Perfect Grilled Eggplant from The Spruce Eats ~ "Grilled eggplant can be one of the great treats of summer—lusciously tender eggplant, with bits of crispy charred edges here and there. It works on its own, as part of a grilled vegetable platter, or even as a stand-in for a meat patty in burgers. . . . This easy recipe uses the power of salted water (or brining) to guarantee great grilled eggplant. " Find your Eggplant at the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market this Wednesday, August 11th.

According to WebMD, 
Eggplant is fat-free, it possesses antioxidants like vitamins A and C, and is a great source for potassium and fiber.

Did you know that . . .?
  • Eggplants are technically berries but are regarded as vegetables when cooking.
  • The berry is a part of the nightshade family along with potatoes and tomatoes.
  • Eggplants can have many colors such as white, green, purple, and purple with white stripes
Learn more about this amazingly versatile veggie by reading AgHire's Blog entry Excellent Eggplant Facts.

Do you know . . . What a stone fruit is?
A stone fruit, or drupe, is a type of fruit that contains one large “stone” or “pit.” The stone itself isn’t the seed, though it’s commonly misidentified as one. The actual seed is found inside the stone. The thin-skinned, fleshy fruits are often sweet in flavor. Common stone fruits are peaches, nectarines, cherries, plums, and apricots. Believe it or not, Blackberries are considered Stone Fruit! Learn more, check out "What is Stone Fruit" from MyRecipes.com!

"There's lumberjacks and teamsters and sailors from the sea, There's farmin' boys from Texas and the hills of Tennessee,
 
There's miners from Kentucky, there's fishermen from Maine; Every worker in the country rides that Farmer-Labor train."

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! ​  White Wine Sangria With Summer Fruits from the Spruce Eats. Sangria is mostly recognized as a red wine beverage, but white wine makes a fantastic version as well, bringing a lighter profile. Including peaches, strawberries, and lemonade enhances the fruity flavor of the white wine and transforms the bottle into the perfect punch for backyard barbecues and other summer parties. Find your White Wine and summer fruits at the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market this Wednesday.

 Do you know? What wines wines pair well with what foods? Like, white wines pair well with white meat, fish or poultry while red wines pair well with red meat, e.g., beef, buffalo and venison. Learn more from this article, "Food and Wine Pairing Basics, from Wine Folly." Learn also about 10 Health Benefits of Wine according to Science - from the fact that red wines are rich in antioxidants to it keeps your heart healthy!

"Why I farm is in my blood, like the sunlight is on my skin. Is who I meant to be, is who I’ve always been
Is more than just a living, it’s my way of life. 
And it grows like seed inside my heart. That’s why I farm."

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.

​​TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! ​ Peach and Tomato Gazpacho with Cucumber Yogurt from Southern Living's Chilled Summer Soups to Make Now! This light refreshing soup captures summer in a bowl. To up the refreshment factor, chill your serving bowls for 30 minutes in the fridge before serving. While you're at the market, be sure to pick up all of the ingredients including peaches, tomatoes, onions, garlic and cucumbers this Wednesday to make this delicious summertime soup! 

Did you know?  The tomato is actually a fruit.  In addition . . . 
  • Because the tomato has seeds and grows from a flowering plant botanically it is classed as a fruit not a vegetable.
  • Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that is good for the heart and effective against certain cancers. Cooked tomatoes are actually better for you than raw ones, as more beneficial chemicals are released. Tomatoes are also packed with vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium.  
Learn more about Tomatoes by reading Fun Facts for Kids.

​TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! ​ Sunflower Spout (or Microgreens) & Tomato Salad from Salt & Pepper Skillet - This is a quick, easy and very healthy sunflower microgreens and tomato salad with a red wine vinaigrette straight from the farmer's market. Find the microgreens guy - Manol - at the market to find your sunflower sprouts, they are definitely a hidden gem. These things are so fresh and healthy tasting!  While you're at the market, be sure to pick up your red and yellow tomatoes, onions this Wednesday! 

Did you know? Microgreens are nutritious.  Microgreens are packed with nutrients.While their nutrient contents vary slightly, most varieties tend to be rich in potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium and copper.  Microgreens are also a great source of beneficial plant compounds like antioxidants. What’s more, their nutrient content is concentrated, which means that they often contain higher vitamin, mineral and antioxidant levels than the same quantity of mature greens. In fact, research comparing microgreens to more mature greens reports that nutrient levels in microgreens can be up to nine times higher than those found in mature greens. Research also shows that they contain a wider variety of polyphenols and other antioxidants than their mature counterparts. Learn more by reading this article, Microgreens: All You Ever Wanted to Know.
