~Sautéed Zucchini Recipe~
Serves 2 - 4 Cook time: 15 min
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced- Viriditas Wild Gardens
3 medium shallots or medium onions, thinly sliced- Big Lick
fine grain sea salt- or try a spice salt from Viriditas Wild Gardens
2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch thick coins- Riggs Family Farm or 
 Green Mountain Ranch Gardens

a good handful of dill, chopped-  Green Mountain Ranch Gardens
1/4 cup almonds (or toasted almond slices)
1.    In your largest skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat.
2.    Stir in the garlic and cook until it starts to take on a hint of color. Stir in the shallots and a big pinch of salt, and cook until they start to soften, a couple minutes.
3.    Add the zucchini, stir to get it coated with a bit of oil, and arrange the coins in as much of a single layer as your pan permits. Add another pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally until the zucchini browns - 10 minutes.
4.    Remove from heat and fold in the dill and almonds before serving. Taste, and adjust the seasoning if necessary. * if you want to do a larger amount, double the recipe, but divide and cook the zucchini in two pans. If you crowd the squash too much, it steams rather than browns, and loses too much structure, which isn't what you're after.

PEAK OF THE SEASON CELEBRATION AUGUST 28, 2013!!!

Join us for a free event to celebrate our peak of the season!  Free raffle, live music, beer and wine tasting along with our beautiful vendors!  Our market runs from May thru October!

 
Riggs Farm, Viriditas Wild Gardens, Family Hands, Milo, Dahlias by Cynthia, Char's Jewelry Box, Designs by Kaden
Every year during the summer, communities are converging to celebrate a wonderful atmosphere: farmers and friends coming together to share a harvest that’s feeding local families.  Local artisans, crafts, jewelry and bakers share in the occasion as well.  The result? More viable regional economies; increased access to fresh, nutritious food; and stronger social networks that help keep communities strong.  Farmers markets bolster local economies, improve community health, and bring diverse groups of people together through a shared social space.  Oregon is home to ~120 farmers markets.

Rainy & the Rattlesnakes
We owe the success of our market to you, therefore we decided to celebrate!  In celebration, Canyonville Farmers Market is hosting live music with Rainy & the Rattlesnakes; a band comprised of two young  Ashland sisters playing bluegrass/Jazz via a fiddle and mandolin. Ray (their father) also joins them by playing guitar.  

We also are offering a few free raffles, along with wine and beer tastings!

Stoney's BBQ
Join our vendors for farm fresh sweet corn, tomatoes, peaches,  strawberries, raspberries, cantaloupe, melons, corn, beets, carrots, zucchini, jewelry, teas, garlic, breads, cookies, wood designs, ornamental gifts, dog treats, homemade pies, fresh cut flowers, hot tamales, and more!

Market Veggies Explode!

Stop by the Market Manager booth and share produce stories!

It’s that time of year again, we have zucchini’s coming out our ears and cucumbers falling out of the fridge. Tomatoes bursting at the seams and strawberries pilling up...  Wandering the rows at the farmer’s market only to find your dinning room table and fridge bursting at the seams…ohhh what to do….what to do? Besides great stir fries -you can preserve a lot of your fruits and veggies.  Here are a few beloved recipes, ones you can even make a bunch of –freeze- and have tasty treats for later….or, just make a bunch and leave it in the kitchen to nibble on as you pass through...


Riggs Family Farm
Zucchini bread 
Find Your Zucchini: Big Lick, Riggs & Green Mountain Ranch Gardens

Prep Time: 10 minutes  Cook Time50 minutes
Yield4 mini loaves or 2 standard loaves
·         3 cups all-purpose flour
·         1 tsp. salt
·         1 tsp. baking soda
·         2 tsp. ground cinnamon
·         ½ tsp. baking powder
·         1 c. unsweetened applesauce
·         1 c. sugar
·         1 c. packed brown sugar
·         3/4 c. vegetable oil
·         2 tsp. vanilla extract
·         2 1/2 cups grated zucchini 
·         OPTIONAL: 3 tblsp. Flax seeds  
1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Lightly flour 4 mini-loaf  (or 2 regular 9x5 pans) . Set aside.  
2. Prepare the batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, flax seeds, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until well mixed. Set aside. In another mixing bowl whisk together the applesauce,  both sugars, oil, and vanilla until smooth. (It will still separate slightly.) Add the wet ingredients to the dry, along with half of the grated zucchini. Mix until well combined, then fold in the remaining grate zucchini. (Moistened zucchini is perfect, may appear soupy)
3. Portion the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling the pans about 3/4 of the way full. And, if desired using the option crumble topping (mix cinnamon and sugar together): sprinkle the topping evenly over the surface of the batter. 
4. Bake the loaves! For the mini loaves: bake at 350 F for about 40-45 minutes,  full 2 regular loaves: about 70 minutes or until the loaves are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf emerges clean.  Allow loaves (whatever size!) to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before removing from the pans.
  
Big Lick
Bunch of Beets 

Prep Time: 10 minutes  Cook Time: 25-60 minutes
  1. Yieldbunch- 1-2 persons (recipe flexible)

  2. preheat oven 350 degrees
  3. Peel, Cut into 1” chunks
  4. drizzle a little oil over them
  5. Wrap in tin foil if you choose to- or not. Roast beets until tender.
  6. The amount of time this will take can vary greatly depending on the size of the beets, how many there are, if other things are in the oven, and how fresh the beets are (fresher beets cook up faster). For smaller beets, start checking them for tenderness at about 25 minutes. Larger and older beets can take up to an hour.
  7. Serve peeled roasted beets as-is, with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Or slice and use them in salads 

And let’s not forget the fruit! Although, if you are like me the fruit hardly makes it home J
