Happenings from Gordon Square Farmers' Market
Hello fellow eaters:
I had been giving myself fits about the fact that I have hardly put anything up this year, so I finally froze some stewed tomatoes, and in the process realized that it really has been a challenging year in the garden. The rain, rain for the whole month of May and then the regular four-inches-of-rain-in-two-
EcoVillage Produce will have green beans, yukon gold potatoes, kennabach potatoes, black beauty eggplant, green cabbage, red and green tomatoes, grape and black cherry tomatoes, okra, jalapeno peppers, red hot peppers, hungarian wax peppers, cherry bomb peppers, sweet peppers of several colors, and radishes. They will also have greens: arugula, spinach, curry kale, collard greens, swiss chard, mustard greens, gourmet lettuce. In the herb department: rosemary, chives, lemon/lime thyme, english thyme, sage, sweet basil, parsley, peppermint, lemon balm, spearmint, and loveage. They will also have goat cheese, cloth shopping bags, and a host of fun.
Old Husher is, I think, at the pawpaw festival. If not, I hope that he will have beets.
Golden Gate Gardens … hmmm they will probably be there.
Berry Good Farm will probably have honey, grains, jams, and perhaps sunflower and pumpkin seeds. They will also have zucchini and applesauce breads and their famous-on-the-west-side “Lazy Daisy Oatmeal Cake."
Mobite Products will have vegan zucchini bread, banana bread, vegan sweet potato pie, apple pie, and carrot cake.
Origins Beanery will have temperature-appropriate coffee as well as jams.
Cathy Brenkus will be at the market this week (last opportunity until the fallidaze market) with halloween and fall-themed towels and or course her lovely bracelets as well.
ReMemories did not check in, so I am not sure what Phyllis's plans are. Her cut flowers are the talk of the neighborhood, so I hope she will have a full compliment in addition to her beautiful quilts, bags, and chairs.
Bethany Presbyterian will have plants as well as really tasty tamales and empanadas (I hope).
Neighborhood table will feature neighborhood residents Fran and Mark Didonato. What they will have is a very closely guarded secret--even your eater update correspondent does not know what it will be; I cannot wait to find out.
We will again have Yoga in the Labyrinth across from the Gordon Square Farmers Market from 11-12 this Saturday (rain or cold location inside the church). This is a donation based class; this week all donations are for the Seva for Haiti Project (https://www.facebook.com/#!/
Every Saturday during market season, the Gordon Square Farmer’s Market provides our neighborhood with healthy, affordable food while recreating local food systems, building community pride, and supporting local entrepreneurs.

THE TASTE OF AUTUMN BENEFIT
Monday, September, 19th 6:00 – 9:00 PM
BEACHLAND BALLROOM
$35.00 / person includes local food and music
The annual Coit Road Farmers’ Market Benefit hosted by Fred Griffith of Good Morning Cleveland features live music by Albert Dennis & friends and the taste of the local harvest from area farmers prepared by the region’s finest chefs. Featured chefs include: Matthew Anderson of Unami, Beachland Ballroom, Grovewood Tavern, personal chef, Eric Wells, Chad and Brian of Sowfood, Superior Pho, Ryan Cipriani of Angela-Mia Pizza, and Regina Nethery of Arts Collinwood Café. Founded in 1932, the mission of the Coit Road Market is to provide access to affordable locally sourced farmed fresh products to the residents of Greater Cleveland.
The proceeds support operation of the market during the winter months. The event includes information about the market, community gardens and local farmers.
Tickets are available at at the Coit Road Farmers’ Market or online at www.coitmarket.org. The Beachland is located at 15711 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44110.
Some of the farmers at the market have participated for three generations. Gloria Jailil is one of the newer farmers that grow on the Coit Road site next to the community garden. She serves her customers by providing healthy and fresh food. “When you grow fresh food," she says, “you are not robbed of nutritional value”
“Sustaining the Coit Rd Farmers’ Market gives the community needed access to fresh fruits and vegetables at reasonable prices. We offer programs such WIC, Senior coupons and EBT Ohio Direction card access for those in the community needing assistance,” offered Board Member Tony Matlak.
“At the Market, you can meet the grower or preparer and know the source of your food and how it is processed. You can get ideas on preparing foods especially those you’ve heard about but have not tried. We can also explain the different varieties of fruits, vegetables and spices.” Kevin Scheuring, vendor – Spice Hound

Happenings at the Gordon Square Farmers' Market
Hello fellow eaters:
I am happy to report that my work schedule and my stomach (not to mention my brain) are starting to get back in synch. So I hope to see everyone again at the market this week. Now that I feel like eating something other than gazpacho, I have noticed that we are in the middle of a greens explosion, with the sturdier, cooking greens doing quite well and the late summer lettuces coming in full swing. And, with a bit of chill in the air the past few mornings, it might be just about time to think about soup, warm soup, that is.
EcoVillage Produce will proudly bring the following produce to market: greens, greens, greens: collard, turnip, swiss chard, kale, mixed greens, and red leaf lettuce. Other fabulous produce: red cabbage, green cabbage, yukon gold potatoes, red cheifton potatoes, kennabeck potatoes, okra, moresale cucumber, tomatoes (cherry bomb, beefmaster, and early girl), tomatillo, jalapeno pepper, hungarian wax pepper, cherry bomb pepper, sweet pepper, red peppers, rosemary, loveage, english thyme, common sage, chives, lemon balm, peppermint, sweet basil, purple basil, thai basil, and spearmint, as well as goat cheese, cloth shopping bags, and plenty of enthusiasm...
Old Husher, Golden Gate Gardens, and Berry Good Farm will set up shop, I think, and maybe there will be beets.
Liberian and American Community Garden (a new vendor from our neighborhood through the Growhio Community Vendor Assistance Program) will have tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, belgian endive, radicchio, melons, lettuce, beans, and onion.
Mobite Products will not be at the market this week.
Origins Beanery will be back this week (they are allowed to go out of town periodically), so no rioting.
ReMemories will not be at the market this week, but she will be back next.
Bethany Presbyterian will have plants for sale. Also, my informants tell me that Maria Quiles, Bethany Session member, has been bringing delicious tamales and empanadas to sell as a benefit for the church and that her hot sauce is amazing. I cannot think of anything that sounds more delicious at this exact moment, even though it is not quite 5 am.
Neighborhood table will have Sarah Perkins selling handmade gift bows (made from recycled materials) and eye pillows to raise money as part of an international effort to benefit Haiti.

Featured Vendor: Plant Kingdom Bakery
Specializing in nutrient-dense goodies, Plant Kingdomcomes stocked on Fridays with all vegan baked goods and nutty snacks. Ask baker, Jeremy, what makes the goods so valuable and you're sure to hear about the benefits from Hemp Seeds.
Hemp is the primary protein source in Plant Kingdom's energy bars. Scrumptious and satisfying choices abound including coconut, berry, apple maple, carob, and chocolaty snack varieties. "We're really rooting for sustainable farming practices to win out over the polluting ones" Jeremy says. Ohio-proud to the max, Plant Kingdom sources Spelt & oats from Organic land in Holmes County. If it's not made with those Ohio-grains, that's because it's a gluten free option! Find out more on Fridays or visit www.plantkingdombakery.
Since Plant Kingdom is dedicated to putting the Industrial Hemp crop to work in N E Ohio. Operations Manager, Jeremy Koosed, is always fielding questions related to the Hemp seed snack foods. By posting some FAQ's here, we're hoping to bring clarity to the subject.
Q: What is Hemp? What are Hemp seeds?
The term Hemp refers to the Industrial Hemp crop, a non-drug variety of Cannabis Sativa that is genetically (and visibly) distinct from Marijuana plants. Hemp has a tall, woody stalk, growing well over 8 ft tall. It only needs to be planted 6 inches apart. Fibers derived from the Hemp stalk or other stalks are called "bast-fibers". Hemp fiber was a primary resource for Paper, cloth, strong rope for thousands of years. In fact, the term "canvas" is derived from "cannabis."
Hemp is a bast-fiber as well as an oilseed crop. The Hemp seeds are remarkably nutritious, containing all the essential amino acids (a complete protein) and essential fatty acids that we need in our diet. Hemp seed is not only a complete protein, but a high-protein food, second only to soybeans in respect to protein density
Q: What will this do to me? Will I fail my drug test?
No you cannot fail a drug test by eating Hemp seed foods. The Hemp industry pledges this with the website, ww.testpledge.com. There is no marijuana on the Hemp plant when it's growing. Eating Hemp seeds helps us feel strong! The goods knock-out hunger and the good-fats benefits our brain health and circulation so it’s help us feel clear and alert!
Featured Recipe:
Steam the beans for 4 minutes, set aside. In a small bowl, combine hummus, lemon juice, oregano, and parsley. Set aside. Place salad lettuce in bowl, top with tomato slices and warm steamed beans. Season with pepper and and pour hummus mixture over salad. Toss lightly to coat. Serve immediately.

Happenings at the Gordon Square Farmers' Market
Hello fellow eaters:
I hope this belated note finds everyone with electricity back on and at least a plan for the tree trimming. I have to confess that again my work schedule has caused delay to the eater update: I have been working nights or splits for almost three weeks now, and I am here to tell those of you who have not had this experience that it stinks. However, I have made one startling discovery: when I get home from work, I really want to eat something, and yet eating right before bed does not seem like the best idea. It turns out that what really hits the spot is either a tomato from the garden with a bit of some tasty olive oil or gazpacho. I believe that I have mentioned gazpacho in the past, but it is possibly the easiest soup in the whole world to make. Long time readers of the eater update know that I try to avoid authenticity arguments, so I am willing to consider that there are other recipes with more ingredients and more detail, but the one I use was passed on to me from a spaniard I knew in chicago and was basically in the form of a ratio: into the food processor go a couple of tomatoes, a red onion, a cucumber, and a bell pepper, plus a bit of garlic, some balsamic vinegar, some olive oil, and a bit of dill. I do not want to be precious, gentle eater, but real tomatoes are such a treat, and we should not take them for granted. Indeed a nutritionist might have something to say about eating from the nightshade family right before bed (weird dreams! indigestion!), and yet it has become my perfect very late night or early morning (!) snack solution.
Another neighborhood food announcement: The Ithaca Court Community Garden will have a Chef in the Garden event featuring chef Andy Reichert, in action as he cooks up a fresh vegetarian chili using just-harvested ingredients from garden plots. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy chili and other snacks offered by the gardeners. There will be free sidewalk chalk and lots of space for kids to decorate. The event is this Saturday, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm at the garden.
Again somw of the usual suspects have not emailed their produce lists, so we will have to go to the market to find out and cook with what is good and available.
EcoVillage Produce will have eggplant, cucumber, kale, swiss chard, collard greens, red & green tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, red & green cabbage, red onions, mixed greens, yukon gold potatoes, rosemary, thyme, sweet basil, sage, turnip greens, tomatillo, jalapeno pepper, hungarian hot wax peppers, yellow bell peppers, green bell peppers, cherry bomb peppers, sweet bell peppers, summer squash, goat cheese, and many more surprises...
Cathie Brenkus will have colorful and themed towels as well as her bracelets this Saturday. Because of labor day, she will feature patriotic towels this week along with the usual patterns.
ReMemories will have cut flowers in addition to her usual fabulous and stylish quilts, purses, and totes.
Every Saturday during market season, the Gordon Square Farmer’s Market provides our neighborhood with healthy, affordable food while recreating local food systems, building community pride, and supporting local entrepreneurs. Your support and enthusiasm for the market has helped make GSFM a successful independent farmers' market. As GSFM continues to grow, there are many opportunities to contribute to the market’s success. Throughout the remainder of this season and next the GSFM is expanding opportunities for volunteers. GSFM volunteer coordination meetings are held each Wednesday during market season at 6:30pm at alternating locations in Detroit Shoreway.

I have to confess that again my work schedule has caused delay to the eater update: I have been working nights or splits for almost three weeks now, and I am here to tell those of you who have not had this experience that it stinks. However, I have made one startling discovery: when I get home from work, I really want to eat something, and yet eating right before bed does not seem like the best idea. It turns out that what really hits the spot is either a tomato from the garden with a bit of some tasty olive oil or gazpacho. I believe that I have mentioned gazpacho in the past, but it is possibly the easiest soup in the whole world to make. Long time readers of the eater update know that I try to avoid authenticity arguments, so I am willing to consider that there are other recipes with more ingredients and more detail, but the one I use was passed on to me from a spaniard I knew in chicago and was basically in the form of a ratio: into the food processor go a couple of tomatoes, a red onion, a cucumber, and a bell pepper, plus a bit of garlic, some balsamic vinegar, some olive oil, and a bit of dill. I do not want to be precious, gentle eater, but real tomatoes are such a treat, and we should not take them for granted. Indeed a nutritionist might have something to say about eating from the nightshade family right before bed (weird dreams! indigestion!), and yet it has become my perfect very late night or early morning (!) snack solution.
Another neighborhood food announcement: The Ithaca Court Community Garden will have a Chef in the Garden event featuring chef Andy Reichert, in action as he cooks up a fresh vegetarian chili using just-harvested ingredients from garden plots. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy chili and other snacks offered by the gardeners. There will be free sidewalk chalk and lots of space for kids to decorate. The event is this Saturday, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm at the garden.
Again somw of the usual suspects have not emailed their produce lists, so we will have to go to the market to find out and cook with what is good and available.
EcoVillage Produce will have eggplant, cucumber, kale, swiss chard, collard greens, red & green tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, red & green cabbage, red onions, mixed greens, yukon gold potatoes, rosemary, thyme, sweet basil, sage, turnip greens, tomatillo, jalapeno pepper, hungarian hot wax peppers, yellow bell peppers, green bell peppers, cherry bomb peppers, sweet bell peppers, summer squash, goat cheese, and many more surprises...
Cathie Brenkus will have colorful and themed towels as well as her bracelets this Saturday. Because of labor day, she will feature patriotic towels this week along with the usual patterns.
ReMemories will have cut flowers in addition to her usual fabulous and stylish quilts, purses, and totes.
Every Saturday during market season, the Gordon Square Farmer’s Market provides our neighborhood with healthy, affordable food while recreating local food systems, building community pride, and supporting local entrepreneurs. Your support and enthusiasm for the market has helped make GSFM a successful independent farmers' market. As GSFM continues to grow, there are many opportunities to contribute to the market’s success. Throughout the remainder of this season and next the GSFM is expanding opportunities for volunteers. GSFM volunteer coordination meetings are held each Wednesday during market season at 6:30pm at alternating locations in Detroit Shoreway. I hope you can join us to learn more about opportunities to volunteer with market. Please email emily.holody@yahoo.com or call 330-256-6641 if you have any questions.
