Let me just tell you that I have been waiting for Blue Pike to have its farmers market open again for what felt like the longest, coldest and darkest winter on record. Very little hyperbole right there, I swear!
The market at Blue Pike Farm opens on Thursday, June 17th, 4-7 P.M.
OMG! That's this week!
We'll have internationally known author and filmmaker, Tiff Lauffer on hand to autograph her acclaimed children's book, "The Porch Dream.' Maybe we'll even persuade her to read a chapter or two at 5:30, so bring the kids.
Also on hand will be Kevin Kelly, "The Bake Shoppe" with his award winning confections and other goodies.
Joining us this season is Green Pastures Poultry with free range chicken eggs and frozen Kosher chicken's Arilla will be on site June 17, July 1, July 15, July 29, August 12, August 26. I've gotten some inside info on how these birds cook up and they are delicious. Look for a story in the Plain Dealer about these special birds on June 23. Buy one or two birds this week at the BPF market so you have them ready in advance of the PD's story.
PLUS we'll have strawberries from Wolfe's Family Farms and 5 new Amish cheese selections from Middlefield Cheese and pork products from New Creation Farms.
Bring your waders and other fly fishing gear and land our new Romaine lettuce, "Flashy Trout, and marry it with a great looking leaf lettuce "Merlot."
Lot's of great early season greens, "Mars" onions, garlic scapes, lettuces, radishes, cheeses, Lambs Quarters, Purslane and more.
Save the date: June 24 for the Annual BPF Stawberry & BarBQ Festival. Wild Bill's BQ will be here with his award winning ribs and Strawberry Cobler from Lucy's Sweet Surrender. See the attached flyer.
A call or email in advance ( by Monday night) will hold an order of ribs for you so you don't miss out. When they are gone, they are gone. See you then.
