FROM SANDSPUR FARM:
“While there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity (Ecc3:2) we at Sandspur Farms have found our time for a few things.

Our time to present to you our grass-fed and pasture finished beef has finally arrived! After much research, we decided to again raise purebred Texas Longhorns. (Research and they have been a long time family favorite.) The factory farms and feedlots of today are not interested in longhorn cattle because 1-their horns (and they are large, some 5ft wide) and 2-their naturally lean meat. Longhorns have not been the focus of “playing” with genetics to gain weight on grain because they have a natural system that does not gain weight as quick as other breeds. Our cattle are never given hormones, any type of steroids or growth enhancing medications. Their diet is grass and hay. We give them minerals and salt as needed. Our meat is inspected and approved during processing by a USDA inspector and carries the USDA seal of certification. Here’s a link (http://texaslonghornlandandcattle.com/longhorn-beef-nutritional-comparison.aspx) for a full nutritional study but in short it states, that a 3.5 oz serving has less cholesterol and fewer calories than the same size serving of white chicken meat or turkey or even the lean ground beef at the store. Why? Because all of the lean cuts are made into ground beef, creating the leanest beef possible! CHECK IT OUT! Our other time we have found is that we are watching the pigs & vegetables grow. A time to grow is a time to wait. They will all be ready very soon. So while we’re waiting on them, we’ve been around another source of heat (besides the sun). The kitchen! Be sure and check out our newly added, available breads."

SPRING HILL FARMS
“Spring Hill Farm – New product added . . Southern Muscadine Grape Jelly. Grab an extra jar to keep on hand for a taste of the summer when the weather turns cooler. We love it with a toasted and buttered slice of our English Muffin Bread! And have you tried our Spring Hill Farm honey? Many have said it is the “best they have ever tasted!” Thank you for shopping local!
We now have 2015 Spring Hill Farm honey available! Also, look for a new flavor of peanut butter – Maple!! We have also added 2 new flavors of hummus with more flavors to come in the next few weeks. Yum! Thank you for shopping local! "

“Locally raised in Abbeville, AL. Grass Fed and Grass Finished. Our cattle are never given hormones, any type of steroids or growth enhancing medications.

Farm to Table Recipes

A Tomato Sandwich Worthy of a Little Bacon
Ingredients
3 slices bacon, cooked crisp, crumbled and rendered fat reserved
1 room temperature egg
1 clove garlic
1 avocado
Juice of half a lemon
3/4 cup vegetable oil
The Bacon-Avocado Aioli
Toasted slices of a good rustic Italian bread
The best tomatoes you can find, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Salt and pepper
Notes / Directions
1. Process the bacon, egg, garlic, lemon juice and avocado in the bowl of a mini food processor until smooth. Add the vegetable oil and the rendered bacon fat through the holes on the lid slowly while continuing to process until very smooth and thick. Refrigerate for about an hour to thicken a bit more.

2. Slather as much of the aioli as you like on a slice of the toast. Top with a few slices of tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper. I like these open face but if you like, slather a second piece of bread with more of the aioli and place on top.

Carolina Foothills, SC:  Market is Closed This Week


Hello all,

I have decided to keep the market closed this week.

For those of you that don’t know, I home school my kids and there is just too much going on right now getting them ready for their first day on Monday. Once school begins there are many meetings and orientations I have to attend so I figured it was best to stay closed this week.

Hope to “see” you next week. Have a good week.

Susan.
