Berea Gardens: Availability for May 4
Hi Friends,
Won’t be long until the broccoli comes, green beans, beets, carrots and sweet corn are out of the ground and growing, squash, cucumbers and tomatoes are transplanted, and peeprs and eggplant are going in this week, but for now it’s pretty much the same fare as last week.
Blessings,
Bob

Recipes
Rhubarb-Strawberry Pudding Cake
(adapted from Gourmet, April 2007)
From Nancyvienneau.com Good Food Matters
¼ cup water
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 and ½ cups sugar
3 cups chopped fruit (I prefer 2 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup strawberries, – or all strawberries –
any variation you choose)
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
½ cup milk
1 stick butter melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and put oven rack in the middle position. Butter an 8×8 ceramic or glass baking pan. Stir together the water, cornstarch, and 1/3 cup sugar in a saucepan and heat. Stir in the rhubarb, if you are using it, but not the strawberries. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about three minutes. Remove from heat and add the strawberries.
Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ½ cup sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, milk, butter, vanilla.
Now add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir in until well combined. Do not overbeat.
Coat the bottom of the baking pan with ½ of the fruit mixture. Spread the batter over that, then dollop the remaining fruit mixture on the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it’s done!
Allow to cool on a rack for at least 5 minutes before serving. This can be served warm or served later at room temperature. Wrap and refrigerate leftovers, if there are any.
Makes 8-10 servings.
Market News
Hello!
We’ve got a great selection of spring greens for you this week and also STRAWBERRIES! Our organically grown strawberries are here for sure, and now is the time to enjoy them to the fullest! Dozen Bakery has their delicious Brown Sugar Shortcakes listed so make sure you get some to have for dessert (make for a yummy breakfast, too!)
We also have plants this week! A selection of tomato and basil varieties is available. All of these plants are grown organically, starting with non GMO seed and organic potting mix. They are sure to be a great addition to your garden!
Just a reminder that you can find the strawberries under the “Fruits” section of the Market page, and the tomato and basil starts under the “Herb, Vegetable, and Flower Plants” page.
We will be returning to our regular weekly schedule from here on through the season. We look forward to seeing your smiling faces every week!
The Bachelor Buttons are in! Bunches are available. Also, consider buying the mother in your life a Pre-Paid Bouquet Subscription. That way, she can order bouquets throughout the growing season whenever it is convenient for her! She will get 10 large bouquets and you will get to treat her at a reduced price! Check it out on the market page. Also, a gift certificate will be provided for you at pick up so you can present it to her in a card!
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all your support!
John and Tallahassee

The Wednesday Market: Welcome to May! It's Time to Order
Good afternoon.
The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pickup Wednesday between 3 and 6 p.m. See the website for this week’s product listings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market
Today is the first day of May! Can you believe that the year is flying by so quickly? My boys only have a few weeks of school left before this school term ends. I am always glad when our schedule slows down. We will have a few weeks off from soccer practice! That means we will have more time as a family to sit down together for dinner. Summer is an excellent time of year for our family to kick the habit of eating out and also for clearing our diets of processed foods.
If you are interested in moving away from processed foods, here is a great blog and website for you to check out: http://www.100daysofrealfood.com
This website is full of practical tips for cleaning up your diet and informative hints for cutting down on refined sugars and flours. The author, a North Carolina mom named Lisa Leake, shares lots of her recipes with readers and includes links to other blogs she finds helpful. Lisa is a big fan of locally grown agriculture! I’ll be trying some of her recipes soon.
We hope everyone has a restful Sunday, and we look forward to seeing you at the Market!
Thanks,
Beverly

Sweets – To tell her how sweet she is to you, there is honey, jams and jellies, candy and yummy strawberries!
Breakfast in Bed – We have a variety of breads (biscuits, braids, loaves, rolls, etc.), bacon and eggs.
Pamper – To pamper her, there are many lotions, soaps, bath fizzies and essential oils listed.
Fun gift ideas – There are a variety of canned goods to choose from! What about crocheted dish cloths, wash cloths or soap sacks? Embroidered dish towels? A quilt? We even have peacock feathers!
Gift certificates – We have 25.00 and 50.00 gift certificates available.
This week you will find all the spring favorites with a few early summer items. Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!
