funky Friday Farmers Market at BADSEED - FRIDAYS in the CROSSROADS

Friends,

Some of you may have been present at market a few weeks ago some close friends performed The Ballad of Brooke and Dan. The video that came out of that performance is now available to THE WORLD. Check out the following links for your personal entertainment:

The Story. http://www.kansascity.com/news/neighborhood/southland/story/1418209.html

Thanks to our lovely friends who made this possible!

Two of our lovely chickens have just laid their first EGGS! Talk about yolks. I think these girls have been eating too much Swiss chard; those yolks were burnt orange and tasted amazing. Unfortunately, these girls will only lay for our private consumption. But we are very proud parents! Everyone should keep their own chickens! Hopefully someday soon you can - LEGALLY.

Fall is setting in, and our appetites and habits are changing (consciously or not). We notice when we see tomatoes left on the market table toward the end of summer. With fall officially here, many farmers markets are slowing down. Don't forget about us!

In the warmth of the BADSEED, we'll continue to have an abundance of organic delights. It's HARVEST SEASON, which represents the best produce from both the summer and fall. And as other markets close, we'll be adding more vendors to beef up the BADSEED Winter Market. Come see us this week and fill your mouth with the following:

Heirloom WINTER Squash (already sold out of Black Futsus)

alert-level Turk's Turban, sweeter than Pie Pumpkins, GIANT JAPANESE PINK BANANA,

succulent Sweet Dumplings, hippy-loving ACORN, fun-filled Spaghetti Squash, and Butternuts baby!

Loads of Sweet PEPPERS, Red, Purple, Green!!

Young and Tender ARUGULA from Lew, the Herb'n Gardener

Yard-Long Chinese Red Noodle Beans

Brooke's famous herbed Saute Mix

Tender Tuscan, Winterbor, and Russian Kale

HOT HOT HOT Peppers!

Sweeter than Spinach SWEET POTATO GREENS

Snoody French Filet Beans from Lew

Orgasmic Eggplants from Outer Space

Red Velvet Okra!

Superb Salad Mix from that Herb'n Gardener again

Onions and Garlic

zinniaZzZ

And, of course, let us not forget that we will have EGGS, BREAD and SWEETS from Bread of Life Bakery, and coffee from Puddin' Head.

We'll see you Friday!!

BROOKSIDE - The Community Farmers Market at Brookside (KCMO) - for Market Day (SATURDAY)

Greetings Market Friends!

From our vendors:

Blue Door Farm

Hey everybody! I'll be back this Saturday with a selection of crops that I find delicious, but the deer apparently don't care for! Woohoo!

Headlining the table will be broccoli raab, which I hope you'll find as addictive as I do. I sauteed some up, tossed it with lemon, olive oil, parmesan and pasta and proceeded to eat two plates full.

I'll bring more of the sweet italian peppers and some great snacking sweet peppers - minature orange guys that are virtually seedless and called, appropriately enough, "Yummy". Try them stuffed with the fresh cheese from Green Dirt!

Also on tap: radishes, tasty turnips and the ever dependable kale.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!

Funny, the temps in the 80s feel warm to us this week! There have been those truly difficult years when the September temperatures were in the upper 90s, after weeks and weeks of no rain, so it is a pretty special thing for the 80s to feel comfortably warm.

The veggies are looking as beautiful as ever. Our SUMMER SQUASH- zucchini, patty pans, cousa type- are abundant and tasty. They are great grilled, try slicing them (skin on), marinating them in a balsamic-oil-herbs dressing for a few hours, then grilling them until just barely tender. We’ve also had several samples given to us of chocolate zucchini cake, the zucchini adds moisture and denseness, and the combination is just amazing. Or, for simplicities’ sake, peel the zucchini with a potato peeler, stopping at the seed cavity, making long, wide ribbons of squash. Salt lightly, toss, and let sit, then eat them as a refreshing side dish or pile them on top of warm, oiled pasta with some grated cheese and some fresh herbs. Try browning them in butter with some of the SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS we’ll be bringing from Oak Ridge Farm.

Our fall tomatoes- planted in June- are still coming along. We’ve got some real gorgeous ones, along with the nice “saladette” size that cut up nicely for salads or pasta, plus the romas keep producing and producing! Try making a roasted tomato salsa, just cut and toss with oil all the normal salsa ingredients- tomatoes, peppers, hot pepper, onion, garlic, parsley or cilantro- then roast in a 350 degree oven until they start to caramelize. Scrape together, stir with a spoon, and you’ve got an amazing easy salsa.

It is a good time to roast peppers- both green and ripened- for freezing for winter. And the same approach works for eggplant. You’ll be grateful you did, the winter nights you come home tired and hungry, and all you have to do is boil some pasta, pull some eggplant and peppers out of the freezer, and warm it all up.

Along with these summer crops, we have our amazing MICRO MIX back, and PEA SHOOTS and some really sweet and fine SWEET POTATOES.

There’ll be a lot more there- all the lovely veggies- and there are only six more markets to go! So Cook! Eat!

See you at the market!

Bread of Life

Hello market friends,

The week has been beautiful and the cool air is a welcome in the bakery. We have some more jams this week since Amanda and Bethany are learning to make jam this month. We made Blueberry, Blue Goose, Gooseberry, Raspberry and Blackberry. Josiah enjoyed a 1/2 a jar of Blackberry Jam on Multi Grain Toast. He has no problem eating 4 to 6 slices of toast in the evening. Good thing I have a bakery to feed that young man.

We will have our burritos,quiches, cinnamon rolls, cookies, and breads. Our rosemary twist bread was very good warmed and dipped in some herbed olive oil.Yummy

We will see you Saturday,

Luke,Chris and Kathy

Funky Friday Farmers Market at BADSEED - A MUST ON FRIDAYS IN THE CROSSROADS

Dearest Connoisseurs of Local Flavor,

BRACE YOURSELVES!!! Cover your children's eyes!!!! Keep your mouths shut and try not to drool with hunger and lustful longing!!

You must keep your wits about you until this Friday from 4:30-9 PM at the BADSEED Farmers Market when you can finally get your mouths on the totally delicious, totally outrageous, totally inappropriate, and utterly PERVERSE HEIRLOOM WINTER SQUASH !!

After a long and crazy season full of greens, tomatoes, okra, and eggplant you say "ENOUGH ALREADY"! You crave something hearty, something creamy, something earthy, something totally mind boggling, and flavor blowing. Well, BADSEED has got it.

These luscious babes are coming to you straight from the dirt at 95th and Stateline Rd. Roast them, bake them, put them in a pie, blend them into a soup, take them out on a date, launch one at your boss's head, prop one up in the passenger seat of your convertible and go for a ride. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, my friends, when it comes to squash.

This week's line-up of ladies will include the radiant Turks Turban, the bodacious Butternut, the exotic Black Futsu (tastes like hazlenuts), the sherbert-fleshedJarrdale, the angelic Pie Pumpkin, and last but certainly not least: the GIANT JAPANESE PINK BANANA - this baby will feed your whole family for an entire week! (check out the pics)

OK OK! Moving on....

Our gang of gregarious urban growers will also have the following organic delights to tantalize your taste buds:

*Heirloom Tomatoes

*Orgasmic Eggplant

*Sweet & Hotter than Hell Peppers

*Greens, Glorious Greens including Russian Kale, Rainbow Chard, Ruby Lettuce,
and BADSEED's Famous "Stir-fry" Mix

*Red Velvet Okra

*Summer Squash

*Gourmet Potatoes

*Onions and Garlic

*Chinese Red Noodle Beans

*Baby Beets

*Sweet Potato Greens (better than spinach)

*PAWPAWS!!!!

*and more....

Not to mention, aged and fresh GOAT CHEESE from GOATSBEARD Farm, and Free-range EGGS and BAKED GOODS from our friends at Bread of Life Bakery!!!

So STAY OUT of the soulless supermarket this week, and support your local farmers instead at the funkiest "Friday night" market in town.

We look forward to feeding you!!!

Yours Truly,

Brooke
