Happy New Year Everyone! The second Locavorious share pick-up at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market is Saturday, January 14, 8 am – 1:30 pm. Know anyone who resolved this year to eat more fruits and vegetables? With this winter share you can help them out! The share has blueberries, strawberries, peaches, edamame, summer squash medley, sweet peppers, stewed tomatoes, and sweet corn. January’s colorful, delicious frozen fruits and veggies will brighten up winter days and provide ingredients for healthy and hearty winter eating.
Soup’s on! How about some soup made with that uncommonly sweet Michigan sweet corn? The Locavorious frozen sweet corn all comes from Brookside Farm in Superior Township; the farm is less than 10 miles from town. During the summer, we finish prepping and freezing the corn a few hours after it was picked. This sweet corn is perfect for chowder or soup, like the Spicy Mexican Squash Soup recipe contributed by Locavorious member Jen Fike and included in the recipe handout.

The market is likely to be much quieter this month, but we still won’t know until the last minute which market spot we’ll be assigned. Look for us with the big blue Coleman coolers and a banner with our sunshine logo. If you can’t find us please either call my cell phone (734) 276-5945 or check with the market manager. Early birds – please note, the market starts an hour later in the winter time. Locavorious loves to reduce, re-use & recycle, so please consider bringing a bag or returning one of our brown paper shopping bags to refill.
See you Saturday!
