Old Fresh Fork - Fresh Fork Market

Local Farm Events, June 2012

I got this information from Parker Bosley. He thought our customers might be interested in visiting some of the area’s local farms. You might recognize the Healthy Harvest Farm, as the the home of the blogger, the Healthy Harvester. This is where we got so many of the winter greens and ramps this year. Mark…

WKSU talks with Fresh Fork Market

In April, Vivian Goodman came to Tremont on a Saturday morning to visit us. Trevor was working the back of the truck and Parker Bosley was on hand picking up groceries. Today, Vivian’s second piece premiered on WKSU, in her piece Quick Bites. When I chatted with Parker at our May Happy Hour event, he…

Winter Share 2011-2012 – Week 15

Frozen pizza dough balls, veggie burgers, ground chicken, oats, and more This week wraps up our winter season. I think we have a fairly exciting bag this week, but just a little on the light side. We’ve been over budget 4 of the last 5 weeks so I need to make up a little space…

Winter Share 2011-12 – Week 14

Ramp Pasta, butter, chicken brats, and feta I’ve noticed a lot of requests for butter lately, so I’m guessing it’s time for some butter. This week you’ll have your choice of salted or unsalted butter. For anyone with some butter already sitting around, I do suggest putting this butter in a zip-loc bag and putting…

Thoughts From The Healthy Harvester

The Healthy Harvester and his family has been growing produce since 1994. The first years were spent trying to farm plus hold an off-farm job which didn’t prove to be the best management plan, so we started farming full-time. For about a dozen years, we grew product for the local commodity produce market selling through…

Winter Share 2011/12 – Week 13

I hope everyone enjoyed their steak last week. This week is pretty exciting to me, although the bag doesn’t really “jive” as well as I usually like them too. I’ve had some odd ingredients in the pipeline and it’s time to use them! This week’s center of the plate is a meat choice. Each person…

Winter Share 2011-12 – Week 12

Steaks, concord grape jam, swiss cheese, and more This week we have a few new products. First, a Concord Grape Jelly made by Diane at Humble Pie Baking Company, using some of the concord grapes we had back in the fall. I’ve been holding onto this for a few months trying to figure out where…

Winter Share 2011-12 – Week 11

Taco Themed, with some extra goodies including pork chops and sorghum syrup This week brings back a few family favorites – the taco theme. We have tasty organic corn chips and organic Black Turtle beans from Shagbark Seed and Mill, along with a variety of salsas from Blaze Gourmet, and mixed greens from our friends…

How many hands do you need?

Do you know where you food comes from? Do you know who grew it? How about how many people had their hands in the chain of distribution for what you are making for dinner? Have you even thought about it? When you start to cook a meal for your family, think about all the ingredients…

Winter Share 2011-12 – Week 10

Pork Roast, Raspberry Jalapeno Jam, Pasta, Cabbage, Turnips, Apples This week I’m really excited about. The centerpiece of this week’s bag is a large pork shoulder roast (which puts me a bit over budget so we may have to adjust next week). We have boston butt roasts, boneless sirloin roasts, and boneless arm roasts. A…
