Tips:
[/SIZE][/FONT]A sprouting tip from Moon-Light Micro-Farm
Tip for growing your own sprouts (alfalfa, etc.):
The weather has definitely shifted this week and it won't be long before longer and hotter days are here. If you are growing sprouts indoors and the temperature in your home closely relates to the temperature outside, you may notice your sprouts growing faster. Be sure to keep sprouts out of direct sunlight, rinse with cold water once or twice a day, and drain well.

you are right - many sowallers there today - though I didn't make it in time (in pajamas for too long this morning). someone needs to set up a SoWal.com table and pass out SoWal stickers and SoWal name tags. great idea for some dedicated SoWal soul......

Twin Oaks Food For Thought

One of the summer rituals growing up in Switzerland, was to go in the forest to pick wild strawberries. I hated it, it was hot, bug-central, "things" would grab my legs and scratch me, and every flying "object" would fly right into my face! But then once there, the "gourmandise" (a taste and relish for good food) would take over !!! The berries were so good, little, no bigger than the tip of your little finger, juicy, sweet but with a little bit of tartness, I could not get enough of it !! As we were there for picking and not just eating, my Mom would create some picking contest to make sure I got some in my bucket ... ya competitive edge taking over gourmandises! Once we got home it would get even better, we would have the strawberries with fresh cream.

Now in Gruyere when you buy fresh cream it comes in a jar and when you turn the jar upside down the cream stays in the jar !!! well ... real cream I guess?? So you mix it with those little strawberries and I can still remember the taste : it was in incredible !!! One of the best summer memories, taste bud memory that is ...I was thinking of it last night as I had some fresh home made yogurt (made with Ocheesee milk) with some of the strawberry preserve and some fresh strawberries, it was the closest Ive gotten to that mavelous taste in so long ...

We are looking for volunteers to help with the market on Saturdays. We need someone who can host the market table where we sell posters, bags and collect email addresses for this newsletter. If you have one Saturday available or many and would like to get involved send us an email
