Market News

New Items on the market this week:

Beer Buzzed Cheese Dip This is an awesome dip for watching the game or just for a lazy afternoon munching on chips or veggies. Organic cream cheese combined with beer, aged cheddar cheese and spices.

Buffalo Blue Cheese Dip – Organic Cream Cheese, aged sharp cheddar, blue cheese, jalapenos and habarnero peppers and spices make this a hearty dip for crackers, veggies or warmed with chicken wings. NOT for the faint of heart

Bread – Pumpernickel Rye-Sliced – Deep Aromatic Rye combined with caraway seeds and deep cacao to make this loaf as kind to the senses as to the tongue. Great with stews and soups or just married with butter

Grass Fed Tallow Lip Whips – Soothe and hydrate winter weathered lips with these amazing tallow lip whips. Made with the tallow of Carrell Farms’ 100% grassfed, chemical free water buffalo. Other ingredients include organic extra virgin coconut oil, organic camellia seed oil, and therapeutic grade essential oils

Sweet Pea is back from vacation and all their locally grown produce and organic baked goods will be back online this weekend!

Recipes: Buffalo Con Queso and Buffalo Joes

It was so much fun having Shalley and David at the market on Tuesday as our Farmer of the Day! Many of you requested the dip recipe. Here it is and another one for Buffalo Joes (Sloppy Joes):

Carrell Farms’ Buffalo Con Queso Dip

Shalley brings this yummy dip to family functions (by popular demand), and always has a big pot of it going at their farm parties. Kids go crazy for it!

Make a triple batch for a gathering and freeze leftovers, if you happen to have any.

Source: This recipe came to me from my mother-in-law, Gail Carrell. I substituted water buffalo

for beef and renamed it.

Ingredients:
1 pound Carrell Farms premium ground water buffalo
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
8 oz. tomato sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
3/4 tsp. fresh oregano
1 tsp. sugar or honey (optional)
8 oz. cream cheese
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
4 T cooking oil (coconut, olive, etc.)
Tortilla chips/veggie sticks

1. Saute onion and garlic in oil over medium heat until soft. Add ground water buffalo meat and cook until just brown.

2. Reduce heat to low, stir in remaining ingredients until smooth and warmed through. Keep warm in a crock pot if desired.

3. Serve with tortilla chips or veggie sticks.
