Melrose Organics

Our farm is a certified organic blueberry farm. Of course it is pesticide free and the quality of the blueberries are quite frankly, fantastic. Berries are nickel size and very sweet. We are now selling organic vegetables (seasonal) at the farm. They are in the process of being QCS certified.

Wyndham Organics

Certified Organic by Quality Certification Services (QCS) Wyndham Organics avocado farm is run by Murray Bass, a Florida native farming in Homestead for over three decades. Managing 2,000 trees, Murray’s avocado groove consists of 8 variety of avocado. This genetic diversity gives him consistent harvest production from June to January each year.

Murray also works with Uncle Matt’s Organics to move his fruit into the premium grocery markets throughout the United States. www.unclematts.com/murraybassgrower.html

Homegrown Co-op is happy to be working with Wyndham Organics to help them sell their “Number 2” fruits. #2s are not desired by the grocery store markets because they do not look “perfect”. They have funny shapes, ‘wind scar’ or are too large to be easily shipped through distribution networks.

We love giant funny looking fruits here at Homegrown Co-op and are happy to bring them to you now direct from Murray’s farm.

(Lady Moon Farms) This is the perfect melon for those hot summer days, and nothing is quite so good as a piece of sweet and juicy Sugar Baby. These melons are perfect for a picnic, and the Sugar Baby Watermelon is an icebox type of watermelon with a tough, thin dark green rind. It has a very sweet, firm, bright red flesh with small dark brown seeds. Survey says: Delicious!

Recipe of the Week

On a hot day, this cold soup made with naturally sweet beets, onions, and watermelon is refreshing as an appetizer or even a dessert.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium sweet onion, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 pound beets, peeled and roughly diced
• 4 cups veggie broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2-1/2 cups diced seeded watermelon (rind removed)
• 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves, optional

Preparation:
In a large stockpot over medium low heat, gently saute sweet onions in the vegetable oil, stirring often, until onions are limp and translucent. Stir in beets, reduce heat to low, and cook until beets begin to fall apart, about 35 minutes. Be sure to stir often to avoid burning and sticking.

Add veggie broth and salt to the onions and beets. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain solids, reserving the liquid.

Place beet and onion solids to a blender or food processor. Add watermelon and puree until smooth. Return to the stockpot and stir in reserved liquid.

Refrigerate soup at least 4 hours or overnight before serving chilled. Garnish with chopped mint leaves, if desired.

Yield: 6 servings

Fuzzy melon looks like a zucchini covered with fuzz. However, while zucchini is a type of squash, fuzzy melon is a gourd, related to winter melon. Unlike other types of melon, seeds of them do not need to be scooped out (unless you prepare to stuff the melon) .

The central pith with seeds are sweet and crunchy particularly when the melon is young. In Chinese cooking, fuzzy melon is used in a number of dishes such as soups and stir-fries. It can also be filled and steamed. Peel off the skin or scrub well to remove the “fuzz” before using.

Bitter Melon

Gretel Eggplant

Poblano Peppers

Butternut Squash

Chinese bitter melon yields sweet results for diabetes. A popular melon for Asian cooking, bitter melon has long been an ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine.

It can be eaten raw in salad. Use it to saute along with your favorite vegetables or put them in the soup of your choice. Raw bitter melon is not as bitter as cooked but it is an acquired taste.

Recipe of the Week

Ingredients:

1 pound bitter melon (about 1 1/4 melons)

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon chili pepper flakes

2 tablespoons oil for stir-frying

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sugar

a few drops sesame oil (optional)

Preparation:

To prepare the bitter melon, cut in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and cut on the diagonal into thin slices. Degorge the bitter melon by sprinkling salt over the slices and placing them in a colander to drain for 15 minutes. In a small bowl, mash the chili pepper flakes with the minced garlic.

Heat wok over medium high heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and chili mixture. Stir-fry briefly until aromatic (about 30 seconds).

Add the bitter melon. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, then splash with the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. Stir in the sugar. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the bitter melon is browning and beginning to soften. Stir in a few drops sesame oil if desired. Serve hot.

Chinese Okra is a popular vegetable used extensively throughout China. Not to be confused with Bihindi (also known as okra in India), although it bears a striking resemblance. A long, thin squash with a dull-green skin, Chinese Okra has deep, narrow ridges which give it a star-shaped slice when cut. So named because of its similarity in taste and texture to okra, Chinese Okra is usually eaten young, before it becomes bitter. Steamed, sautéed or braised, the flesh becomes soft and tender and can be stir-fried or deep-fried. Organic Chinese Okra Squash per pound, also known as angled luffa or ridged gourd. Similar mild flavor and texture as zucchini when the ourter skin is shaved off.

When: April 28th at 4:30 RSVP required

Where: Florida School of Holistic Living

Cost: FREE

I am very excited to announce our first book club group, open to all members and volunteers at Homegrown Co-op. The first book for discussion, The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan, is an analysis of how food is produced and marketed and what effect that has on our choices at the table. The Washington Post calls it “An Eater’s Manifesto… [Pollan’s] cause is just, his thinking is clear, and his writing is compelling.”

Our first meeting will be held on April 28th at 4:30 at the Florida School of Holistic Living. RSVP is required. Upon receiving all RSVPs, we will determine, via email, which chapters to discuss at our first meeting. At the first meeting, we will work together to create a reading / meeting plan to accommodate everyone’s needs. I’m really looking forward to this!
