Hi, all,
Welcome to another week of shopping at Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market. We are now open for ordering.
A message from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
We are taking orders through December 22 for beautiful Christmas kissing balls. Made with live greens and other natural materials, these balls are about 18" diameter and come in three styles. They are suitable to hang on a shepherd’s crook for a beautiful outside Christmas decoration. Each one is mounted on a sturdy hanger and includes a red ribbon bow.
Make a collection of common culinary herbs, to keep for yourself or to give as a gift. Please see the description under ‘Planters and Baskets’, and specify your choice of herbs from the list. If intended as a gift, please order early to allow time for custom preparation. Includes planter.
White City Produce and Greenhouses has added beautiful Christmas cacti to the market this week.
Cider and jelly, perennial plants, local baked goods, pork products, herbal bath & body products, local honey, fresh-laid chicken & duck eggs, and plenty more products are to be found on our market. Give them a try! Many of these items are suitable for gift-giving. Also remember our Gift Certificates available in any denomination for Christmas or other gifts.
And lastly, let us know if you are interested in a beautiful live Christmas wreath, made in three sizes and decorated by Petalland in Moore County. These are not currently listed on the market, but arrangements can be made to have them delivered to our market if you would like one.

Farm to Table Recipes
Sautéed Greens with Pine Nuts and Raisins Recipe
Yield: Serves 2,
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 bunch kale, chard, collards, or turnip greens, etc., about 1 pound, tough stem centers removed (if any) and discarded, greens chopped
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Roughly 1/2 cup dry white wine or water
Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD
1 Heat a large sauté pan hot on medium-high heat and add the pine nuts. Toast until fragrant and begin to brown…pine nuts burn easily. Stir or toss the nuts frequently. Once they are toasted, remove from pan and set aside.
2 Add the olive oil to the pan and swirl it around. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds; the pan should already be hot, so it won’t take long for the garlic to begin to brown. Add back the pine nuts, add the raisins and the greens and mix well. Sauté, stirring often, until the greens wilt and begin to give up some of their water, anywhere from 1-2 minutes for spinach to 4-5 minutes for collards or kale.
3 Sprinkle salt and red pepper flakes on the greens. Add the white wine (can substitute water)—use a little more wine if you are cooking collards, a little less if you are cooking spinach. Toss to combine and let the liquid boil away, remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Champaign, OH: Local Thoughts For A Local Holiday
Happy Saturday morning, local market customers!!
Your market manager is about to head down to her moonlighting position of Santa Land merry maker, but before I head out, I wanted to share a holiday write up by our own Charlene…
She summed up exactly how we feel at this little local market of love. The love of local can totally extend into the gift giving season!! In fact, I hear more and more people say that they are keeping it local, this year. When keeping it local, make sure to look at our market. You can shop for everyone on your list, right here, right now…
Think about it as you read…
And, the gift giving can extend to gift certificates to our little market, for gifts that can last throughout…
Also…during this busy, hustle and bustle month of fun, don’t forget that you still need your veggies for staying healthy…Don’t forget to remember that both End Of The Road Farms AND CRSI/Strive are our go-to year round veggie people!!
Ok…I leave you know in a haze of coffee, Christmas tunes, and good cheer as I rush off to Santa Land…
Oh, and just FYI, today’s Santa will be someone very familiar to us all…can we give our very own Paul Wadsmith a HUGE thank you?? Come downtown, today, to catch him in action!!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
And now…words from Charlene…
