• Story Hour this Saturday at the Market

  September 1, 2010 // No Comments »

  Last Saturday marked the half-way point in the Lansdale Farmers Market Season.   New vendors have started at the market, and farmers are beginning to consider their fall harvests.  In the coming weeks and months, we can expect to see pumpkins, squash, sweet potatoes,  apples, and pears.  Don’t hesitate to ask your farmer about recipes and ideas for the produce.  They have great ideas to spice up your kitchen.

  This weekend, LFM Kids will host story hour at the market at 10:30.  Immediately following story hour, LFM Kids will be working on a craft with the children.  Bring your children out to the market to join the fun.  While you are visiting, shop the market for your produce, coffee and bread for the week.  You will not be disappointed by the high quality and taste of the food you buy at the Lansdale Farmers Market.  Looking forward to seeing you there!

• Simple Summer Fresh Fruit Salad

  August 11, 2010 // No Comments »

  Watermelon. Cantaloupe. Mint. Grapes.  These are the tastes of summer.  Everyone is familiar with the summer fruit salad, melons and fruits tossed together in a bowl, fresh and juicy.  This recipe is a fresh twist on a summer classic.

  What you need:

  • Watermelon
  • Cantaloupe
  • Grapes
  • Any other fruit that you love in a salad
  • Fresh Mint
  • Fresh limes or lime juice

  Use a melon baller on the watermelon and the cantaloupe (or cut it into chunks). If children will be eating the salad, quarter the grapes to prevent choking.  Add any other types of fruit you want in the salad.  Chop up about 10 mint leaves (for a medium sized watermelon).  Toss the mint with the fruit. Add the juice of 2-3 limes to the bowl. Toss.  Chill and serve.

  Be sure to pick up your fresh fruit and mint at the Lansdale Farmers Market to enjoy this simple summer recipe.

  This weekend is a great weekend at the market with lots of entertainment and fun.  The Reel Colleens, an Irish Dance troop, will be performing between 10 and 11 at the market.  The Reel Colleens, choreographed by Sarah Martin, dance Ceili style dance, hard shoe dances, and soft shoe dances.  Come out and see the wonderful story the Reel Colleens can weave through dance.

  At 10:30, the LFM Kids will be hosting children’s story hour.  Several stories will be read and the kids can participate in crafts after the story.  Make it a family day, bring your kids to story hour, and purchase some fresh produce from the market.  Hope to see you there!
