Hello!
Strawberries are in, and now is the time to take full advantage of their goodness! These strawberries are grown right here outside of Nashville by Drury Family Farm and Rocky Glade Farm, and are grown organically. which means they are a perfectly healthy choice for your family! They are picked ripe and ready to eat! Stock up for winter by freezing or making jam. Yum!! There is nothing like strawberry time!
This week we also have a nice selection of greens for you – lots of salad fixins. The flowers are also in, so treat yourself to some beautiful flowers straight from the farm. If you have signed up for the Pre-Paid bouquets, please place your order in the “Pre-Paid Bouquet” box on the Market page.
We still have a nice selection of tomato and basil plants available for your garden. More of the classic pesto variety ‘Genovese’ as ready this week. but if your haven’t yet, please do try a lemon or lime basil ! The flavor and smell are amazing!
There of course is a fabulous selection of cheeses up, and Dozen bakery’s delicious, fresh baked artisan bread – the baguette and the country loaf.
As always, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday
John and Tallahassee

How to use lovage
• Cook with lentils- saute a few leaves with onions, add lentils and cook slowly.
• Chop the leaves and add to cream cheese—use as a stuffing in a chicken breast.
• Pesto is traditionally made with basil, but can be made with most herbs. I use sorrel and lovage.
• Lovage, chopped finely, can be used on a pizza topping.
• Lovage is excellent with fish, such as salmon
• Chop the leaves in a fresh leaf and herb salad- dress with your favorite dressing.

Dawson Local Harvest: Transition Week at The Dawson Harvest

HI EVERYBODY!
This Week’s Market Availability is going to be low as a couple of main providers take a week to recoup and transition into a higher gear. LEILANI’S and MY DAILY BREAD are both down for the week.
But do not despair. More and different Produce will be available for May 22nd, and maybe fresh Berries as well, and we’re only 2 or 3 weeks away from the season’s first Tomatoes! So, good times are coming!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can order until Tuesday night at 8pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.
You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net
We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.
