On The Farm In this issue, we are talking about (and with) farmers in our region. This issue is about supporting our local farmers by buying directly from their farm stores and stands, and also at some of the great farmers’ markets throughout our region.

As you’ll read in “The Local Farmer Perspective”, our farmers are really here for us. They are a community within our community and our local source for the freshest and most nutritious food available. We hope you enjoy the issue.

troops and their sacrifices for the freedoms we each enjoy. Next year, with the support of sponsors and individual donors, we hope that volunteers and families will be able to place a flower at every gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery.” he said.

Flower growers from Colombia, Ecuador, and the United States donate flowers for the event. Major donors are: Passion Growers, DGC International, TD Bank, and CalFlowers. The event is widely supported across the floral industry and also by military spouses clubs, the Young Marines, local VFW chapters, and many others. Supporters are listed on the Foundation’s website at www. memorialdayflowers.org.

About the Memorial Day Flowers Foundation The Memorial Day Flowers Foundation began in 2011 after U.S. citizens working in the floral industry wanted to express their patriotism and profound appreciation for the sacrifices made by America’s military men and women. They began with placing 10,000 roses at Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day in 2011. They continue to work with Arlington National Cemetery to place flowers annually for Memorial Day and have expanded their efforts with the help of donors, volunteers and businesses to cemeteries around the country.

The Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. More information is available Unt aut veliqui volupissit doluptur reiumet, sed magnimo

What Do I Do with Kohlrabi?

SOURCE: foodnetwork.com By: Katie Workman

Kohlrabi – what is it and what do you do with it?

Kohlrabi is a cruciferous vegetable, just like cabbage, broccoli and kale. This funny looking vegetable is about the size and shape of an orange, with a bunch of leafy stems sticking out. It has a thick skin that can range from pale green to purplish, though the inside is always a very pale yellow.

The leaves are all edible (the freshest kohlrabi will still have the leaves attached, which can be eaten raw or cooked like any greens). The smaller bulbs tend to be more tender and flavorful, but the large ones are also fine for cooking and eating. In taste and texture, kohlrabi reminds me of peeled broccoli stems with a bit of peppery radish thrown in.

Trim kohlrabi and peel it very thoroughly (you may need a sharp knife for this; the skin is quite tough and indigestible).

Slice, julienne or grate it into your salad or slaw for a great crunch and a fresh but slightly spicy flavor.

It also can be cooked – boiled, steamed, sautéed, roasted or fried. More often than not, however, I use it raw for its appealing mild flavor and pronounced crispness. When buying kohlrabi, choose smaller, unblemished bulbs that are heavy for their size; if the bulbs have leaves, cut them off, and store the bulbs and the leaves separately in plastic bags in the refrigerator for up to a week, or even a bit longer for the bulbs.

The Local Farmer Perspective

By John Hall, Blue Mountain Town & Country Gazette

For this issue, at the suggestion of Kathy Fields from Flint Hill Farm in Coopersburg, Blue Mountain Town & Country Gazette reached out to independent farmers in our region. We wanted to get their perspective on changes taking place as consumers spend more of their food dollars at local farms during the pandemic crisis.

Celebrating 38 years! Proud to serve our community.

Brian Spagnola, Farmer Liberty Acres Farm, Bangor, PA Brian Spagnola from Liberty Acres Farm in Bangor speaks of seeing a definite uptick in people supporting their local farmers. He says,“Now people that don’t normally buy local, are.” He feels consumers are slowly and surely realizing the value of local food on several levels, from flavor and nutrition to the shorter supply chain.

Regarding the food supply chain, Spagnola thinks consumers are developing a better understanding of how that works, especially when the long grocery store supply chains are disrupted. As he says, “In addition to the food being its most nutritious and fresh when you buy directly from farmers, the supply chain is about as short as it’s going to get.”

Melanie Fink, Retail Manager Heidel Hollow Farm & Water Wheel Farm Stand, Germansville, PA According to Melanie Fink from Heidel Hollow Farm Store and Water Wheel Farm Stand,“We have seen a huge uptick in sales since the start of the quarantine.”

Fink says when the food shortages started in grocery stores it was very reassuring to people to know they could come to the local farm store and be able to get eggs and potatoes. “In response to that,” says Fink, “we pivoted quickly to bring more produce into the farm store earlier than normal so people could also grab strawberries and bananas.”

In closing, Fink says, “We hope people keep the mindset of shopping local. If they do, it would be a very positive outcome of this terrible virus situation.”

Kathy Fields, Farmer Flint Hill Farm, Coopersburg, PA Flint Hill Farm has a mission to bridge the gap between the urban/suburban community and the farm. According to Farmer Kathy Fields,“There are a lot of missing links in knowledge around food.”

From working with schoolchildren who visit the Farm, Fields says, “Children have no idea of the seasons and the harvest. Many can’t tell you the Continued on page 12

meaning of Thanksgiving – in other words, the importance of the harvest!”

The other key point Fields makes is that the community of farmers is “a unique breed of people who are flexible and innovative,” and work together as a community within the community to adjust to what’s happening during the seasons.

Says Fields,“We started in a garden, and the farms are like the integral piece that helps weave a community together – food is the common thread.”

Reuben DeMaster, Farmer Willow Haven Farm, New Tripoli, PA Reuben DeMaster, the farmer at Willow Haven Farm, became aware of heightened interest in buying directly from farmers in part through Willow Haven’s CSA shares program that creates a very close connection with consumers.

“Prior to the pandemic Willow Haven was already planning an increase in its capacity to do CSA shares,” says DeMaster, “and that allowed us to accommodate significant growth as consumer focus did shift to buying more locally-grown food.”

DeMaster concludes: “Now is a great time to consider what kind of food system you want to

support. If you really want to support local food and build the food security of our region, you should make a commitment to buy local food not just during a crisis but for the long term. If local farms can count on your food purchases, year round, they will find ways to produce more food for you.”

Five of the Oldest Farmers’ Markets in the World (excerpted) SOURCE: tripsavvy.com By: Akila McConnell

It's easy to think of farmers' markets as a new obsession: in the decade between 2004 and 2014 alone, over 5,000 more farmers’ markets cropped up across the United States. However, that's actually nothing new.

Markets have been a part of civilization for thousands and thousands of years and you can get your fair share of history and incredible produce by visiting 5 of the oldest farmers’ markets in the world, from England to Turkey to the United States.

[Editor’s Note: The one market in the United States noted in this article is less than one hour’s drive for almost everyone reading this. The market is the Easton Farmers’ Market – “America’s Longest Continuous Running Open-Air Market”located in Easton, PA. Read on!]

Borough Market, London, England With its 1,000th birthday in 2014, the Borough Market has stood the test of time. For around 300 years the City of London banned its citizens from buying goods from the market, which was located in Southwark on the other bank of the Thames. The

city wanted its residents to only buy within city walls so it could profit from the taxes.

Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne, Australia Queen Victoria Market officially opened in 1878 as a wholesale fruit and vegetable market, established only 6 years after Australia became a colony. The market is famously known as the largest market in Australia and one of the largest in the world, spread across 17 acres.

Easton Farmers’ Market, Easton, Pennsylvania Since 1752, Pennsylvania’s Easton Farmers’ Market, an open-air market, has never shut its figurative doors. The Market claims the title of “America’s Longest Continuous Running Open-Air Market.” On July 8, 1776, the “Great Square” at Easton Farmers' Market was one of only three places where the Declaration of Independence was publicly read.

-Florence Baver June 30, 1955 I think you women have already had [at] one time or another the same experience that I had recently. When one is rather dirty and unkempt and the house is topsy-turvy, then company show up. And who was it? I bet that you could not guess.

would need to ‘fetch’ my English, when someone came from California. Well if you think that, then you are completely wrong. Clarence and his wife can speak such good Dutch correctly, just like when the left here 34 years ago. They speak it every day at home and their three girls can also understand it. The girls had come east a few years ago, but this trip was the first for Clarence and his wife since they left 34 years back. The youngest

daughter also came along. And she had planned everything to tie the knot with a man in August.

She is a very good singer and is a member of Phil Kerr’s Harmony Chorus. They are a group of good Christian people from about 20 churches in [the Pasadena area of] California. They give concerts and make records. [You can still find references to them and their records on the internet.]

Their relatives and friend here in the Nazareth area planned a nice party to surprise them. They got all the friend and relative together in the

basement of the Schoeneck [Moravian] Church one evening for a “Surprise Shower”. Everyone brought presents and things to eat and drink.

There were about 75 people there. We were also invited and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Now perhaps you wonder how this ‘Babbelmaul’ [Chatterbox, her pen name.] and Clarence became acquainted. Do you still remember that we had a contest in this column in August of 1953 to pay a dollar for the best letter that we would receive that would tell about harvest time years ago?

could actually buy something!] Do you know who got that dollar? Oh my, Clarence Barthol from California. What did he do with that dollar?

Just blow it away? No way! Clarence knew better, how to hold on to his money. He brought the check with him from California to Nazareth almost two years later to introduce himself to Mr. Metz at the Item [He was the owner of the Item newspaper at that time.] He cashed the check for Clarence.

At no time did we have a desire for a trip to California like we now do, since we became acquainted with the Barthol family.

Much jollity and good health to all of you in California.

[Florence Baver noted it was unique that someone could be separated by over 2,000 miles from their original home for 34 years and still maintain the Dialect. I think it’s even more fascinating that the Dutch people are separated from their original homeland by almost 4,000 miles for over 250 years and can still communicate with current residents of that Palatinate region.

I first became aware of that when Kutztown University started their Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center. They had Roland Paul from a historical society in Kaiserslautern, Germany speak at the event. When I approached him after his lecture to ask him a question I listened to him talking with someone from the Kutztown area in the Dialect (His Pfälzisch dialect and our Dutch dialect still able to communicate with each other.) and was amazed that I could understand most of what was said. Separated almost 4,000 miles and over 250 years and still functioning. Wow!]

A-TREAT Announces Return of Lime Soda

LAUGH OUT LOUD

Submitted by KRISTIN SCHAEFFER

It's back and better than ever.

A-TREAT Soda is thrilled to announce the return of Lime Soda.

Available only in 20 oz bottles, the soda can be purchased at select Redner's and A-Hart's Markets or through A-Treat's online store. Lime Soda's crisp citrus flavor arrives just in time for warm weather. There is nothing quite as refreshing as its sweet yet tart taste on a sunny day.

"Lime Soda has been our most popular flavor request," said David Jaindl, President. "We were more than happy to bring back the classic soda for our A-TREAT fans, especially during a time when everyone needs some good news." To find a store near you that carries Lime Soda, use the A-TREAT store locator. The list will be updated as new stores are added throughout the summer.

A-TREAT cares about the health and safety of all customers and advises that you take proper precaution and adhere to your state's regulations when grocery shopping.

Rescue a Friend Meet Teagan * Reduced Adoption Fee * Please note before filling out an application for Teagan she must go into a home without cats or small dogs. She is a BIG girl who likes to PLAY! Teagan is a BIG girl looking for someone with a BIG heart! This almost 90 pound Shepherd x Collie mix is affectionate, outgoing, playful, and has lived with kids!

She is crate trained and we believe she is also house trained, though we have very limited information on her past. She would be best in a home with another large dog that understands when she plays she just truly does not understand her size! Before coming to our facility she did test positive for heart worm and is finishing up a month of cage rest before returning to normal activity! She would much rather be running and playing, but hopefully a home falls in love with her and will be able to finish her care before she goes back to her ACTIVE self! Her adoption fee is $195 and that includes she is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines, flea/tick treatments, and heart worm treatment. If you're interested in adopting any of our
