Camilla's Market Musings - Week 10


(expected produce mentioned for this coming Saturday subject to availability)

At last we are starting to feel the first caresses of autumn in the air and with it the beginnings of the cooler weather foods.

This week once again, okra and yellow carrots are playing a starring role (go the green and gold!), and we also have a brief appearance of those magical purple beans.  An unexpected abundance of roma tomatoes means that this week we will be cooking up a passata storm and to help you along, we have beautiful bunches of flat leaf parsley, oodles of garlic both white and purple, and more of our beautiful farm grown basil and rosemary.  I can hear that pasta pot boiling now!  

English spinach has made a return this week - who can resist a beautiful spinach soup - or perhaps mushroom soup is more your style?  Either way, I am looking forward to soup season and the combination of those tomatoes, zucchinis and sweet corn, with a generous sprinkling of Barambah cheddar and loads of garlic means I can feel a serious minestrone coming on!

In the fruit department, we are so happy to be able to offer those sweet strawberries that when eaten cold from the fridge are better than any strawberry icecream, an abundance of sweet and crisp autumn apples, yellow peaches and delicious farm grown pawpaws.  Oh and before I forget, if you are a jam maker, we have a special on the Just Ace plums, which are perfect for either jam or plum sauce.
 
As always, if you do wish to order a box of organic produce from us please email your orders through to: theorganicmarketorders@gmail.com
 
or text your order to: 0476 000 996 before 1pm Friday afternoons, and our merry team of farm goddesses will get to work immediately!
 
Oh and don't forget, that delivery is part of our service at no extra cost to you.

Thank you for sharing in our food enthusiasm!

Yours in abundance

Camilla and the rest of the awesome Goddesses and Godlets at The Organic Market Macleay
