Farmer’s Market – May 31st

May 30, 2014 By Blue Skys Farm

This week the Blue Skys Farm herbs look amazing.  Below are the fresh herbs that we will be bringing to market tomorrow.

Sage
Flavor:  Faint overtones of camphor and a hint of lemon.  A little goes a long way.  Often used in sauces and stuffings.  Sage butter on pasta or fish are great pairings.   Sage tea is recommended as a remedy for a sore throat.

French Tarragon
Flavor:  Slightly bittersweet with an aroma similar to anise.  A little goes a long way.   Pairs well with chicken, white fish, egg and cheese recipes.

Rosemary
Flavor:  A pine-like scent and flavor.  A little goes a long way.  Pairs well with meat and fish but my favorite use for Rosemary is with roasted potatoes.

Oregano
Flavor:   Earthy with hints of clove and balsam.  Fresh leaves are wonderful in salads, casseroles and poultry recipes.  Dried leaves are especially good with tomatoes, beans, eggplant, zucchini.

Garlic Chives
Flavor:  Mild onion and garlic.   Use in omelets, add to salads, sprinkle over roasted vegetables prior to serving.

Lemon Balm
Flavor:  Lemon.  Use in place of lemon zest in recipes.  Muddle in ice water and other beverages.

Nettles
Flavor:  Robust, almost meaty.   Good lightly cooked like spinach.  Historically, nettle has been used to treat rheumatism, as a diuretic and as a soothing aid to skin problems.

In addition to these herbs we will also be bringing the following to market:

Baby Lacinato Kale
Baby Bright Lights Swiss Chard
Christina’s Custom Salad Mix
Shunkyo Radishes
Salad Turnips
