SHARING OUR VENDORS’ FAVORITE HOLIDAY RECIPES: From Leedstown Farm Holiday Glazed Acorn Squash
1. Slice acorn squash in half through the stem and scoop out all the seeds and flesh. Then slice along the natural ridges (about a half inch to an inch thick depending on the size of your squash) and throw the slices into a large bowl. Toss with shallots, olive oil and salt and pepper and mix well until squash are evenly coated. 2. Divide squash onto two prepared baking sheets and roast in the oven for about 30 to 40 minutes, turning each piece over and rotating pans halfway through, until squash are tender and caramelized. Transfer to a serving platter. 3. While squash is roasting, combine honey, apple cider vinegar and pinch of salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and allow mixture to simmer for about 5 to 8 minutes, watching it closely, until reduced by a half cup. Drizzle glaze over squash and top with pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and mint. Enjoy! Thanks to the Community! We enjoyed having you at last Sunday’s Holiday Market, which featured over 100 Farmers, Food Vendors, Artists and Crafters, and of course Santa. Special thanks to the Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department for stopping by and delivering a wonderful Holiday treat. Also thanks to the one and only Katie McIe for her expert editing of our Thursday Newsletter. The pictures tell the whole story. Please subscribe, so we can keep you posted on happenings at the Market. We’re still trying to raise money for an Amish shed that would have heating (desperately needed right now) and air conditioning. Thanks to Councilwoman Dawn Leudtke’s office for its assistance and to Katherine Farquhar (our hospital liaison) and Nadine Mort (Market volunteer) for their persistence. Child safety Alert: A boy about 4 years old and an infant in a car seat were found alone in our main parking lot a couple of weeks ago. The boy was distressed and crying when Doug Terry, our safety and security volunteer, found them. The boy had managed to get out of the car and could have been in serious danger if he had tried to cross the main entrance way to the lot. Fortunately, the mother returned in a few minutes. No children of any age should be left alone in a car at the Market. If you arrive to buy produce and can't manage the children, come to the information tent and a manager will send someone immediately to watch the children. One other possibility is to bring the children with you to be watched at the information tent. Never leave your children alone in a car. In hot weather, the car could heat up very rapidly and endanger their lives. As in this case, a distressed child, not knowing what to do and feeling abandoned, could get struck by a car in the parking area. Let us help you to make certain your children are safe. We are there to serve your needs and that of the Market. FOOD SCRAPS: As part of a Montgomery County-sponsored pilot, Compost Cab will accept food scraps from our customers. Look for their tent in the rear of the Market. You may drop off:
PARKING IS ALWAYS FREE! (For Winter, vendors may leave at 1 instead of 1:10) There are 2 main lots, one outside the professional buildings on 108; the other opposite the Thrift Shop on Prince Philip. NO PETS PLEASE! DONATIONS WELCOME! Please consider a donation to our 501-C-3, Friends of the Olney Farmers Market. The Market provides vouchers for fresh produce to those in need. This season, we’ve given out more vouchers than ever before. It would be great to replenish our fund. We also need funds to support our music program and our children's tent. Checks can be mailed to PO Box 1787, Olney, MD 20830. We also accept donations at our Info tent. You may also use the Donate button at the top of this newsletter. THANK YOU!! ***Customers: Please do NOT remove barricades at our entrances and exits. These are meant to keep all of us safe. In the event of dangerous weather conditions, we'll post our decision on whether to close on our website, olneyfarmersmarket.com and on Facebook. NO PETS! We ask that you leave your pets at home. We allow service animals only. Note to Vendors: Remember that every tent must have at least 25 pounds of weight per tent leg. Thank you for your cooperation.
