Capital City Farmers’ Market – Saturday, July 20 – 9am-noon

Matt and I find ourselves advising you to utilize the flavor of your fresh produce. When harvested at their peak, veggies generally don’t need much to be perfectly tasty. For example, last night we were home late and finally thinking about dinner around 8pm. Matt boiled a few new potatoes and tossed in some broccolini for the last minute of cooking. After draining, he tossed those items in a bowl with some thick-sliced zucchini, chopped parsley & basil, olive oil, and salt & pepper. That mixture went into a roasting pan and into the oven for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. We finished it with some shaved Parmesan and that was dinner. Simple, local, and amazingly delicious.

So, along those lines, we are having another online contest this week. Go to our Facebook page @capcityfarmersmarket and comment on our weekly post with your go-to farmers market summer dish. We will select one person to win some hummus and vegetables from B&G Produce.

As a market, we accept credit cards and EBT. Shop vendors who accept cc/EBT and pay once before you leave! Stop at the Market Manager booth to start the process and have fun shopping.

Capital City Farmers’ Market – Saturday, July 13 – 9am-noon

I have two words for you, folks. Garden. Potatoes. That’s right, it’s potato time! Potatoes seem like such a simple item and, to be honest, they really are simple. When they are uber fresh from the garden, all they need are a simple boil and tossed with butter, salt, and perhaps a few fresh herbs. They are a special summer treat.

A quick stop at market will set you up for your entire week. Beef, eggs, vegetables, baked goods, perhaps a craft item, dog biscuits, and a coffee for your stroll. We look forward to seeing you!

Our first Tuesday night Fort Pierre market is this coming Tuesday, July 16. Market is from 5pm-7:30pm on Deadwood Street downtown. Full details available on our website, www.capcitymarket.com, and also watch for the social media posts and email on Monday evening. The theme is Healthy Hometown and we have a lot of fun activities planned!

As a market, we accept credit cards and EBT. Shop vendors who accept cc/EBT and pay once before you leave! Stop at the Market Manager booth to start the process and have fun shopping.

Capital City Farmers’ Market – Saturday, July 6 – 9am-noon

 

We’re sending out our email a bit ahead of time, hoping to catch some of you headed out for a long weekend. We will be at market this weekend, ready to stock your fridge, freezer, and pantry with goods!

I’m already feeling pressure to use all the produce we are so lucky to have available. But, it is a lot. I know some of you run into this, too. I’m trying to be more flexible with recipes this year and so far it has been a success. In place of spinach for a Spanish dish, I subbed kale with great success. Last night I made a salad that called for arugula, watercress, and Napa cabbage to which I subbed mixed lettuce, curly endive, and kale for an amazing result.

Every weekend, I take an inventory of produce we have in the fridge and I base my weekly recipes around those…with full intent to use everything. Most of the time, it’s a fun challenge. Last weekend, I used a bunch of veggies making quiche. We were entrée salad heavy this week along with some tasty vegetable-based tacos. And, I was able to brew some fresh mint tea and dry some oregano for use this winter. I love this time of year.

Also, those of you who enjoyed Matt’s snake story from a couple weeks ago may be interested in his new story. He and Small Steve had a little run in this week, except this time Matt has video. The two are slowly learning to co-exist, with Matt handling it a bit better than Small Steve. For the record, this video does not increase my willingness to harvest tomatoes this year…as the video was taken right by the tomato patch. When you are at market this weekend, ask us to see the video!

Prairie Potters Master Gardeners will be at market this weekend. They have been very helpful to the folks who have had questions about random plants growing in their yard, answering why a plan hasn’t flowered, and how to work with reseeding after a hail storm. Stop down and ask your question to these trained folks.

As a market, we accept credit cards and EBT. Shop vendors who accept cc/EBT and pay once before you leave! Stop at the Market Manager booth to start the process and have fun shopping.

Capital City Farmers’ Market – Saturday, June 29 – 9am-noon

We’re starting to feel a bit like summer, aren’t we? Once we consistently hit 90 degrees and above, I want all of my food to be cold. I’ve been noshing on Caesar salads, using garden greens and homemade dressing, all week. On the menu for next week is this kale salad and this amazing Thai Steak & Noodle Salad. Try not to get too held up on ingredients…go with what’s in season. This particular recipe calls for arugula and watercress. I plan to use kale and pea shoots among other fresh garden produce. Flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye would all be great options for the beef part of this recipe. I’m super excited about all the bright and pungent flavors…lime, ginger, fish sauce. I’m in.

We have a new vendor this week. Mel & Me are bringing handmade soap, crocheted dishcloths, herbs, and some produce. Stop by and welcome them to market!

And, for some additional market fun, Amanda will be face painting this weekend. We will also have a Make Your Own 4^th of July Magnetic Photo Frame booth. Both of these activities are FREE!

Capital City Farmers’ Market – Saturday, June 22 – 9am-noon

We were lucky this time. The hail, which destroyed some gardens of our friends, missed the farm. That’s the thing with mother nature. You really don’t know what she has in store. I remember when I was growing up, my dad would stand by the sliding glass door during storms, as though somehow his presence might influence her to skip our precious acres of land. Sometimes she did and sometimes she didn’t. Matt and I do the same, in a sense, jumping on our weather app. Knowing our influence on mother nature is slim to none, we can only hope the red doesn’t target our small plot of land. This time, she chose to skip us and we are thankful.

We have an online contest this week, so jump over to the Capital City Farmers’ Market Facebook page and comment on our market post! Directions and prizes are listed online as well.

The vendors this week are amazing, as usual. Many options for you to choose from and plan your weekly menu. I’m guessing our menu will include at least one stir fry, probably a roast of some kind, and definitely a kale Caesar salad.

Also, for the first time, we will have a Paws Meet & Greet with a couple pups up for adoption.

As a market, we accept credit cards and EBT. Shop vendors who accept cc/EBT and pay once before you leave! Stop at the Market Manager booth to start the process and have fun shopping.

Capital City Farmers’ Market – Saturday, June 15 – 9am-noon

Well, Matt had an encounter this week. An encounter with a 3-ft bull snake in one of our outlying garden plots, rightfully named “Snake Butte”. Luckily, he stepped on Small Steve and not Big Ben, the 6-ft bull snake who also lives in this plot. Matt and Steve were equally scared of each other, but Matt made a lot more noise and many more movements than Steve. Although a true fright, we appreciate having the bull snakes around for rodent control and to help keep rattle snakes away. Does this have me looking forward to tomato harvests? No. No, it does not.

Ok, onto the weekend. Hummingbird’s back for your strolling beverage pleasure. Produce keeps rolling in and, of course, we’ll have delectable desserts, baked goods, and bread.

MOPS will have their playhouse set up and will be selling raffle tickets to win the fun house! They will also be doing a bake sale to raise money for MOPS programs.

As soon as produce is plentiful, we try to make veg-centered meals. I’ve been leaning heavy on poke  bowls the last couple weeks. A basic sushi rice base topped with a tamari-based sauce and variety of fresh vegetables makes for a lovely meal. Tonight, ours will have roasted sweet potato (stored from last season!), pea shoots, carrots, green garlic, and broccoli. I’ve also made varieties using fresh ahi tuna (thanks, CHOPS) and roasted salmon. They have all been heavenly and I’m sure we’ll be eating them all summer.

As a market, we accept credit cards and EBT. Shop vendors who accept cc/EBT and pay once before you leave! Stop at the Market Manager booth to start the process and have fun shopping.
