For this week’s market, July 31st, Suzie Burkett, The Chocolate Biscuit,
will be on vacation for the next two weeks; this means no chicken salad,
pimento cheese, and her baked goods. John Burton, Judy Bee’s Honey &
Berry Farm, stated that the bees are on strike, and there’s a good
possibility that he won’t have any honey for this season (outside of his
honey, Judy). They and Angie Beasley, Beasley Mt. Farm, have an
abundance of blueberries though.
As a reminder, the peach cobbler bake-off contest is scheduled for
August 7th. The three prizes are 1st place $50.00, 2nd place $30.00,
and 3rd place $20.00. We need five contestants to have the bake-off,
and we now have four. Chef James Jones, of Kairos Katering, and Stan
Hogeland, Gardendale City Council President will be judges. Stan needed
some prodding; actually, he had his electronic calendar out before I
gave him a date. A third judge is yet to be named. On the 14th, Bill
Woodard will be doing knife, lawn mower blade, and scissor sharpening.
Come on out and support our local farmers.
