What a great week at the market! Thank you so much to all who participated in
our annual Customer Appreciation Day! It
was a huge success – a very busy market day, and a whole lot of fun! Special thanks to our vendors, everyone who
occupied our special tents, and of course you – our customers! The market could not succeed without your
support, and we are happy to celebrate you all each season.
Special events and demonstrations included music from
Christian Jerman, Dancey Pancey dreamcatchers, voter information and
registration with the League of Women Voters, a make-and-take meat rub with
Mahoning Creek Farm, healthy eating tips and a delicious fruit salsa recipe
with samples from Lori Smith of IRMC (scroll down for a copy of the recipe),
information on preventing back pain with Chiropractor Kolby Mumau of Indiana
Total Therapy, yoga sessions with Ed Stancombe of Sunflower Yoga, and Neal’s
Yard Remedies with Amanda Chura.
Congratulations to the winner of our market basket
giveaway – Ted Krushinski! And a special
thank you to all of our vendors who donated to this amazing basket!
This week is back to business as usual. We will be open Wednesday in our regular
location even though the County Fair is going on. Hopefully this will bring some new faces to
the market, as well!
We do not have any special tents scheduled for the
Saturday market this week, and we do still have openings in our special tents
this market season. If you are
interested, please contact us at indianafarmmarket@gmail.com.
Save the date! Saturday, September 26 is our Harvest for
the Hungry event at the market. Market
shoppers can purchase an extra item or two (or however many you choose) to
donate to the food bank at Zion Lutheran church. We are currently looking for volunteers to
help on the day of the event. Volunteer
tasks include walking around the market and spreading the word, helping to sort
donations, and delivering donations to Zion Lutheran. If you are willing to help out for a 1-hour
shift (or longer if you’d like), please contact us at indianafarmmarket@gmail.com.
See you at the market!
Annies Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips
(Version sampled by Lori Smith on Saturday)
Ingredients:
2 kiwis, peeled and diced
2 golden delicious apples, peeled, cored, and diced
8 ounces raspberries
1 pound strawberries
10 (10-inch) flour tortillas
Butter-flavored cooking spray
2 Tbsp cinnamon sugar
Directions:
1.
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix kiwis, golden
delicious apples, raspberries, and strawberries. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least
15 minutes.
2.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3.
Coat one side of each flour tortilla with
butter-flavored cooking spray. Cut into
wedges and arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle wedges with desired amount of
cinnamon sugar. Spray again with cooking
spray.
4.
Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with any remaining tortilla
wedges. Allow to cook approximately 15
minutes. Serve with chilled fruit
mixture.
I imagine you could also probably use cinnamon sugar pita
chips in place of making your own.
Enjoy!
