This Week at the Market

This Week at the Market

27th February 2020

Hi there

We have had a flurry of new vendors starting at the market recently. The newest kid on the block is Love and Cake who debuted last weekend. Emily Jory is the master baker at the front and centre of this operation and her sweet treats are a joy to behold. Emily has worked with many of the greats, including Matt from The Tart Tin and Ken O’Connell from Bracken Restaurant. She completed a Bachelor of Culinary Arts followed by a Bachelor of Design – Honours and Masters in Design, focusing on how food can be utilised as a medium for artistic expression.

She is currently working as head chef at The Kind Grocer where she has become more familiar with vegan and allergy-friendly cooking. Be sure to check out her gorgeous selection of sweet treats up on the platform about where The Tart Tin was. Her creations are true expressions of sharing the love through beautiful, exquisite sweet treats.

We have fresh corn at the market! And it is Yum!!! Nothing beats freshly picked corn on the cob dripping with butter and salt and pepper.

And be sure to catch the new season of Country Calendar this Sunday night at 7pm on TV1 for an episode on Agreeable Nature Free Range Eggs, one of our popular vendors at the market.

See you Saturday.

Radish, French breakfast named for a tradition in some parts of rural France where people took a 'second breakfast' around 10 - freshly pulled French Breakfast Radishes with crusty bread, lots of butter and glasses of red wine!

Otago Organics, New Season’s Organic Fruit this Week

We still have; Peas Good Nonsuch, this very large apple is a classic cooking apple that cooks down into a fluffy puree. Akane, a classic cherry red apple a smaller crisp juicy apple which is also good for drying. Stripey Gravenstein an old favourite, very juicy with a distinctive flavour (looks ordinary but tastes great) and Damson plums for pies and jams.

Our new apple this week is our best seller, Hetlina. This rosie red apple has the highest bioflavonoids of any apple. These are said to be protective against cancer and to generally promote good health. An apple a day really does keep the doctor away!

Come and taste them all!

NEW TO THE MARKET: Fred Fred

This week is my first week at the Otago Farmers market and I am very excited to chat all things food and coffee with you all.

Quick blurb about Fred Fred - WHY FRED FRED?

I am a Mum, I know how hard parenting is - let alone being responsible for the nutrition of the next generation. I looked (and bought) supermarket options and was not that keen on what they offered and thought we can do better than this. So we are. There is a key period with babies where they are highly receptive to flavour and by exposing them to different tastes, in particular vegetables over sweet things - they are more likely to eat more variety as the years go on which is very important! Fred Fred is naturopathically formulated to help support brain and gut development and also help children get the most from their food, and to help us sleep easier...

Farmer's Market Recipe Idea for Small Humans:

1/2 Pear (or 1/2 apple if you want) Otago organics have some amazing apples.

2 handfuls of greens (you could use Ettrick Garden's kale or garden green beans are available from Waewae Permaculture).

1/4 cup cooked butter beans

1 tsp of fat of choice (ghee from Holy cow or coconut oil)

Peel, chop the pear/apple and trim the beans or chop the kale.
Place in a steamer and steam thoroughly.
Blend it all - including the added fats.
Cool/serve/freeze.

Dunford Grove

The grapes in the area are just turning colour and so are great swathes of the countryside as the nets go on!

Did you know?

This is an important one: Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the only food with an international standard that includes a sensory analysis. The International Olive Council sets the standards, accredits the testing laboratories and monitors compliance & adherence to best practice. One should always check your oil has a certification mark, your guarantee that it is Extra Virgin Olive Oil!

La Crepe Market Specials

Reflecting on the past few weeks, the highlights at the moment come from all the children that come to see us and give a big smile as a way to say thank you,

it truly warms my heart.
