David Lagnese ***************************************************** The Update Greenawalt Farm I spoke with Brian Greenawalt and he told me of a tragedy this week. One of the Amish farmer that he works with was killed by a lightning strike. It was a freak accident. Her name was Mary Yoder and she was also pregnant. So very sad. http://www.wjactv.com/news/news/pregnant-amish-woman-struck-killed-lightning... So he is not sure exacly what items he will be getting this week. He said he would expect items similar to last week plus he expected to have watermellons and other mellons. Other items should include sweet corn, zucchini, yellow squash, pickle cucumbers, radishes, green onions, peaches, lettuce, swiss chard, blueberries. Check out their fresh cut herbs such as chives and mint. In addition they will have locally grown eggs and their normal selection of Amish made products. J.L.

Sweet corn from McElhaney farm. In the fruit department- local blueberries and blackberries- watermellons, musk mellons, and Chambersburg peaches. California Olive Oil Connection This is the time of year that I really love olive oil because it goes so well with all these locally grown veggies. I like to use ths spicier oils raw poured on slads and blanched vegetables. I also like to roast all sorts of veggies (including onions and garlic) drizzled with lots of olive oil. We have six varieties of California grown, certified extra virgnin olive oil available. This is the real thing, not the fake, adulterated stuff. The Greek Gourmet- will have homemade spinach and meat pies to the market each week- in addition to 20+ flavors of hummus. Stop by and talk to Jack at the booth. PA Made Cheese- We have a fresh shipment of goat cheese from Riverview Dairy. We will have chev, feta and Purple Goat varieties. Sorry, no curds this week as the Gaugler's are taking a vacation. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please visit the market's website for information on the market and all the vendors.
