Baltimore, MD

experience: I’ve been a floral designer for more than 40 years and I’ve been with The Fresh Market for four years.

what sets the fresh market apart: Quality and selection are what makes The Fresh Market Floral Department the best there is. I’m always amazed at how long our flowers last and how many varieties we carry, from beautiful fresh-cut hydrangeas, lilies and calla lilies to the most stunning potted orchids. mother’s day advice: When creating a bouquet, remember that there are filler flowers and focal flowers. You can’t go wrong with a little bit of each, but having that focal flower—like a lily, a hydrangea or calla lily—will really make your bouquet stand out.

JOSH BOYKIN

Rogers, AR

experience: I have 20 years of experience in the floral industry and I’ve been with The Fresh Market nearly four years.

what sets the fresh market apart: When you walk in the door at The Fresh Market, flowers are the first thing you see lots and lots of gorgeous flowers with colors that just pop! And who doesn’t like to be greeted with roses?

mother’s day advice: You can’t go wrong with potted flowers—hydrangeas, begonias, anything you can plant outside. Bulbs are a favorite, too. After they bloom indoors, you can plant them outside and they’ll be back again next spring.

Lady Moon Farms DREAMERS & TRAILBLAZERS

Starting with just five tillable acres and a dream, Lady Moon Farms is now five locations strong in three states: Pennsylvania, Georgia and Florida. One of the oldest certified organic farms in the U.S., they grow an array of crops from lacinato kale to grape tomatoes and parsley. Their model of “moving with the seasons” keeps folks fed and employees working year-round. Lady Moon Farms also works to promote soil health and preserve the original intent of the organic movement by being a member of the Real Organic Project—a farmer-led certification program under USDA Organic that identifies soil-grown and pasture-raised foods.

Watsonia Farms CARETAKERS & STANDARD-SETTERS

The Watson family began farming in South Carolina more than 100 years ago. Their legacy demonstrates resilience, surviving everything from The Great Depression to recessions and war. Today, as thoughtful stewards of the land, the family continues to provide a variety of top-quality, fresh produce, specializing in organic veggies, strawberries, peaches, plums, nectarines, corn and tomatoes. Watsonia Farms is also working on their Fair Trade USA Certification which sets rigorous sustainable sourcing standards that improves livelihoods, protects the environment and builds resilient, transparent supply chains.

Soli Organic FUTURISTS

Founded in 1989, Soli Organic is the leading national grower of fresh, organic, culinary herbs. Having derived their name from the Latin word for “soil,” it’s no surprise that Soli’s herbs are grown in a high-tech organic soilbased indoor facility that conserves and recycles water and nutrients. Their vertical farms also carefully control temperature, light, humidity and water exposure so that only the resources needed are taken for the plantand no more. By bringing nature indoors, Soli recreates the outside world under perfect growing conditions to consistently deliver beautiful, organic produce that tastes bright, vibrant and flavorful.

SUPPORTING LOCAL WHAT IS LOCAL?

The USDA defines local as less than 400 miles from the origin (or within the state) of the product. The Fresh Market curates within a 250 mile radius of our stores or within state.

entertain Like VERA STEWART

@veryverastewart

Educator and entrepreneur, Vera Stewart created the VeryVera culinary brand known nationwide. Motherhood brought Vera out of the classroom and into the home, where her background in Home Economics helped catalyze her success as a caterer. The event that put her business on the map was the inaugural luncheon for Governor Joe Frank Harris in 1983, and in 1984, the VeryVera brand was born. But Stewart still had a passion for teaching, which led her to initiate a sold-out annual summer cooking camp and host The VeryVera Show, where she adds modern twists to favorite dishes of past generations. Stewart’s Southern recipes and collaborations with renowned chefs such as Tyler Florence and Nathalie Dupree, have expanded her reach to an even broader audience. Author of two cookbooks, Stewart’s work extends beyond the kitchen as she mentors young talent.

In a career that spans more than four decades, what are your biggest milestones? After 10 years of catering, I made a career change that led me to study under Martha Stewart. She brought glamour and creativity into home entertaining, turning it into an art form. I followed Martha’s lead and created several small, successful businesses. My next move was to challenge Bobby Flay on “Throwdown” and I beat him with my carrot cake recipe. That launched my TV show, “The VeryVera Show,” now in its 12th season. Building on the show’s growth, I wrote my first cookbook, The VeryVera Cookbook, Recipes from my Table, and my second book launched last Spring, The VeryVera Cookbook, Occasions.

What was your inspiration behind the Parmesan Squash Casserole recipe?

I distinctly remember when my mother started making this casserole. The aroma in the kitchen was amazing and the next thing I knew, I was hooked and it's been on every holiday table my entire married life!

With Mother’s Day next month, how influential were women in your family in shaping your culinary style and traditions?

I am the middle of five children and my dad passed away when I was seven. He was an only child and his mother was quite the hostess, seamstress, fashion icon and doting grandmother. Both of these women had strong will and determination that I adopted. I learned early from my grandmother, who I’m named after, that presentation is everything—even with something as simple as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. From my mother, I learned that family traditions are sacred, including making traditional dishes during the holidays.

How would you describe your style of Southern cuisine?

My style is "old school with a twist" and I love to put a trending ingredient into something I've been making for years, and especially enjoy that I am attracting an audience of younger people that haven’t tried the wonderful dishes I grew up with.

26 TheFreshMarket.com | shop.TheFreshMarket.com

Do you have any special kitchen hacks, tips or techniques you can share with us?

Yes! My top ones are:

• Measure out all the ingredients in a recipe before you get started.

• Save the butter wrappers for storing small pieces of butter for when you need to grease a pan or add just a tiny bit to a sauce or vegetable.

• Always have cake ingredients at room temperature before you begin.

• Don't substitute ingredients unless you are fine with changing the recipe.

• Put bacon in the pan to fry before you turn it on; it performs better from a cold state.

• Measure out all the ingredients in a recipe before you get started.

• Double the recipe so you have more for later and freeze it.

Try This!

Are there new trends in Southern cuisine gaining prominence that you’re excited by?

The hamburger has become gourmet. There are exciting add-ons to the burger, like caramelized onions, and the sauces are more interesting than your typical mustard and ketchup. You even get to choose a bun! Really great hamburger meat loaded with flavor is the equivalent of the basic black dress in the culinary world right now.

With so many successes under your belt, what is your next venture?

I want to get started on a children's cookbook, which would be book number three for me. This would also be my passion work; I visualize it as a workbook and a keepsake for children of all ages.
