It’s here… just in time for your holiday cookouts! We will have our first picking of sweet corn at the market Saturday. We’ll also have home grown tomatoes, beets, cucumbers, kale, Swiss chard, cabbage, zucchini – green and golden, yellow squash, green beans and new potatoes. Kenny will be bringing plenty more elephant garlic and candy onions.
Peaches are ripe for the picking and would make a great cobbler for the holidays. We will have more blueberries as well.
We now offer our “Baskets of the Week” every Saturday. If you are in need or want one please email me by noon Friday, val@russellveggies.com. The prices will remain the same as last year…$16 for the small ones and $32 for the half bushel size. It takes lots of planning to make these happen, they are done fresh Saturday morning and are pre-order only.
We will have more of our homemade jams and jellies along with Kenny’s Grilling Planks and Blackening Spice. I will also have a few herb pots and fairy wands available.
Just a reminder that we have been selling out early… Don’t forget to pick up your farm-fresh, free-range eggs while available.
Have a great week and we will see you on Saturday,
Val & Kenny

We offer a “Basket of the Week”, which is our local grown product. We provide the basket each week, but do expect you to return it on your next visit. It include a “grower’s choice” of what is currently in season and includes veggies and fruit when available. The baskets are the 1/2 bushel with handle size and weigh from 27-32 lbs. depending on veggies. The cost is $32 and we can add fresh-free range eggs for an additional $3.50. You are not obligated to purchase every week as a CSA ** but they will be available each week.
Baskets should be picked up on Saturdays between 8-11:00 at the New Albany Farmer’s Market; located on the corner of Bank and Market streets in beautiful downtown New Albany. Please note that all baskets not picked up by 11:00 will be sold to other customers unless prior arrangements have been made.
But believe it or not, the larger basket is about perfect size for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) if you cook most nights. Along with your basket you can also get recipes from our website to help enjoy your veggie purchase.
We have had request for “Single” size for our customers and are going to try and accommodate them as well. We will have a smaller size basket, it is a peck basket, which is 1/4 bushel. They weigh between 14-17 pounds, depending on veggies included and will be half the price, $16
Baskets are available by pre-orders ONLY, via e-mail @ val@russellveggies.com and Face Book Message, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Russell-Veggies/140889669283756. Your order should be received by noon on Friday and will be made fresh Saturday morning for pick-up. Please be sure to include a contact number with your order.
Our veggies are as naturally grown as possible, 0n our veggies like broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower we use Diatomaceous Earth (DE), which is 100% organic. We found that this worked fantastic in previous years and will use as needed on our other veggies. Our fruit is never sprayed after the bloom sets, and no chemical process is used as a preservative. That’s why the shelf life is not that of the grocery stores.

Look forward to seeing you in the future,

Dear Russell Veggies Customers,
It is with a heavy heart that we write today’s post. We wanted to let all of our patrons know that we will not be at the Farmers Market this Saturday as we grieve the loss of Val’s mother. A farmer’s job is never done, so anything harvested this week will be donated to the Haven House. We appreciate your kindness and compassion during this difficult time. We will be back on Saturday, June 18, so check next week for an update of what we’ll have. As always, thank you for choosing Russell Veggies.

This recipes isn’t mine, but one from the National Honey Board. I attended the Taste of Home cooking school last week and this was one of the recipes we were taught. I thought I would share it this week, it’s delicious. Hope you enjoy.
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 4 oz. each
9 cups – lightly packed baby spinach
1 1/2 cups – shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3 slices – crisp-cooked thick bacon, crumbled
3 small tomatoes, each sliced into 4 wedges lengthwise
Honey-Jalapeno Vinaigrette
3 tablespoons – white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons – fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons – fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon – jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, quartered
1 teaspoon – salt
1/2 teaspoon – freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup – honey
2/3 cup – vegetable oil
Place chicken in a large re-sealable plastic bag and add 3/4 cup Honey-Jalapeno Vinaigrette. Seal bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight. Drain and discard marinade. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Cut chicken across the grain into 1/2 inch-wide strips. Put 1 1/2 cups of spinach on each of six serving plates. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette. Top each with chicken strips, 1/4 cup cheese and crumbled bacon; garnish with two tomato wedges and drizzle 1 tablespoon of vinaigrette on top.
For Honey-Jalapeno Vinaigrette: process vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. With blender running, add honey, then oil; mix well. Refrigerate until needed.
