Try Fresh Chutney This Week

Posted on July 20th, 2024 by Dave Redfearn

Our friends from King of Chutney have a limited supply of fresh Chutney available to order for the first time this week. 

We are thrilled to introduce delicious chutneys from King Of Chutney! Through our recent partnership, we plan to offer a monthly option to purchase healthy and flavorful savory dips and spreads made with authentic Indian recipes. These chutneys are a nutritious dip that pairs wonderfully with pita bread, burgers, sandwiches, salads, or as a dip for fresh veggies. For more creative ways to enjoy them, check out their website. Think of these chutneys as a fantastic alternative to hummus (better than hummus in my opinion).

Our family has been enjoying King of Chutney's products as spreads on sandwiches, veggie dips, and with rice and pita bread!  It is so fresh and delicious!  To be honest, I didn't know what I was missing until I tried this product.  I don't think I'd ever had a genuine chutney before, but this is soooo good!  You need to give it a try!

King Of Chutney offers two varieties: Roasted Eggplant With Garlic and Fresh Calabash and Tomatoes. Made from all-natural ingredients, each 9 ounce tub contains only 0.05 grams of sugar and 0.05 grams of citric acid as a preservative. The rest of the ingredients are vegetables and spices.

King Of Chutney produces these amazing chutneys at an FDA approved facility in downtown KC and they will produce these fresh based upon the order quantities they receive from us to maximize their shelf life in your fridge.  These fresh-made will easily last 3 to 4 weeks in your fridge after you receive them.

Your cost for these chutneys is $7 for a 10 oz container (Sales tax, credit card fees and Harvie fees included.  $7 is a flat $7 for you). For those picking up at Brookside you will need to pick up your chutneys from a cooler left there to keep them cold (We will label yours with your name on it to prevent mixups).  At all other locations we will either have them in your share or will add it from a cooler at the time of pickup.  

Try them this week and let us know what you think.  Let us know if you want us to offer it again next month.

 

Summer Veggies starting to really produce well

Slicer tomato production is steadily increasing from our first plantings.  We have several stages of plantings in the ground to help spread out the harvest and keep production up for as long as possible.  We're seeing the first ripening fruits all over the place at this point!  Its exciting to see and the plants are really healthy at this point, so we anticipate some really substantial harvests over the next several weeks.  We aren't swimming in them yet, but it won't be long!!!  Peak production will probably be early August, so if you are thinking of doing some salsa making and tomato canning or tomato freezing, keep that in mind.  If the weather holds out and we are able to keep the plants healthy, we should have fantastic harvests this year all throughout the month of August.  So get your canning supplies and freezer bags ready! 

Did you know you can freeze tomatoes whole in gallon freezer bags? Then you can use them easily for coking later. We stopped canning whole tomatoes when we found this easy technique.  Now Sheri puts her canning energy into making her legendary homemade chipotle salsa. 

 

Bread and Cheese

Farm to Market Sourdough Extra-long sliced loaf

Hemme Brothers Fresh Mozzarella ball (use within 7 days or freeze for later use)

 Once we have enough, we'll probably have more than we know what to do with, so be looking for bulk boxes of tomatoes available as well as imperfect bulk bags available soon.

 

Enjoy the fruits of our labors this week!  

Your farmers,

Dave and Sheri
