This Week at the Market

Are you ready for the Challenge? So. Maryland, So Good challenges every family in Maryland to take the buy local challenge July 19 - 27. Governor Martin O'Malley kicks off the challenge this Friday at the State House and every county has issued proclamations in support. And Cheverly Community Market will celebrate the week with a very special benefit potluck supper. Get the details here. Stock up at the Cheverly Community Market this Saturday, July 19, from 8am to 11 am. You can shop amongst the friendliest folk around, get a great cup of coffee, and sit and listen to the fine music of Kelly, Charles & Nathan! Vendors: Jug Bay Market Farm and Garden: Tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, basil, corn, beans, potatoes, melons, and cucumbers. C&E Farms: Potted herbs -- We encourage you to buy a pot of one of Emma's wonderful varieties of mint. She has chocolate mint, apple mint, orange mint, spearmint, and peppermint. Here's a spot for you to look around and get inspired to "experi- mint" this week! Circle C Oysters: Rich has become quite the media celebrity recently. People have driven as far as the Shenandoah's to his operation in Southern Maryland to buy a couple dozen oysters! We are only one of two markets he attends. Be sure to include Oysters in your menus this week. Here's a link with great recipes. You can't beat his prices. Clan Stewart Farm: Try their summer sausage or bacon to fix a stellar sandwich. Or try ribs, steaks or hamburger and have a memorable cookout. Cherry Glenn Goat Cheese: A market favorite that stands alone with quality bread or use it in salads, pizzas, and more. Pick one or two of these recipes to try this week. Pair your oysters and goat cheese with a Pinot Gris from Elk Run, a new wine they are introducing. Or try their Maryland Merlot or Cabernet Franc with barbecued meats and grilled veggies. This is just the beginning.
