Blue Berwyn Farms is your one stop shop for seasonal radishes, carrots, turnips, broccoli, cauliflower, leafy green vegetables and now fruit! Blue Berwyn will be bringing fresh picked cherries, blueberries, and blackberries. They will also have tons of fresh garlic and a new jelly flavor apple rosemary. Blue Berwyn also has an amazing selection of beautiful floral bouquets. Be sure to see Two Oceans Seafood this week for restaurant-quality wild caught frozen seafood. Their offerings include wild caught salmon, halibut, cod, and mahi-mahi.  Stop by at Oat.Chocolate for fresh home baked sweet breads, granola, and cookies. Need something to bake poach, roast, or cook on the grill this weekend? Look no further than Waltz Family Farms for fresh locally raised meats. Waltz Farms is stocked up. Visit Pupuseria & Taqueria El Solectto for freshly made to order agua frescas, pupusas and tacos. Don’t miss the spring rolls and Pad Thai at Thai Amity. See Sweet Babe for mini churros, mini pancakes or mini waffles topped with fruits, whipped cream, and other delights Finally, please visit our arts and crafts vendors and the great selection of handcrafted art! The College Park Community Food Bank and Hollywood farmers market are partnering on a canned food drive. Bring your unexpired canned goods to the market and leave them at the market management tent. Look for the tall white bag with the College Park Community Food Bank logo on it.

This week John is still out in Idaho for the National Fiddle Championships where he is the backup guitarist of choice by 60% of the contest fiddlers!  Which means I will have the pleasure of another week of picking with Mike Lessin.  For those of you who don’t know, Mike is one of the area’s most acclaimed guitarists – fresh off an all-star gig this week with the Capitol Area’s finest musicians – Mike is the lead guitar player for Late As Usual and Zydeco Jed – both well-known local bands you can catch most any weekend at the bigger venues around town.  Support your local musicians!  We will see you Saturday morning! Rumor has it Patrick O’Donnell and his fiddle may be there for a set: Patrick is a Peabody-trained violinist who mostly plays jazz these days, it’s an honor to have him sit in with us.

See you tomorrow!

Hello !

Turkey info!  You need to pre-order your turkey by stopping by the Hollywood Farmers Market and giving Waltz Family Farm a $20 deposit for whole birds.  Markets on Saturdays from 9am-1pm at the MOM’S parking lot at 9801 Rhode Island Ave College Park MD.  Turkeys are raised at Whispering Breeze Farm, always on pasture and fed healthy grains.  The supply is a bit limited this year, so please get your orders to me in the next 3 weeks.  We are getting them from the same farm as in the past. They do a great job and are a wonderful family!  Ordering info is a little different so please read carefully.

Whole Turkeys – order a Small Bird 13-17 lb ,  Medium Bird 17-21 lb , or a Large Bird 21-28 lb.  You can specify the size, but know if you order a small bird it could be 16-17 lb and not 13 lb.  If you need smaller, we encourage you to order Breasts.  It is tricky to guess the weights to the exact lb when they are roaming pastures.  Personally, after all the work to cook a bird I love leftovers and put extra in the freezer.   COST is $5.65 lb
Breasts – average weight is 4-5 lb and they are boneless.  There are some larger ones available up to 7 lb in size.  COST is $11.25 lb
Legs and Wings –  Weigh about 1 lb each.   Limited on Wings.    COST is $7.25 lb
Breast & Leg Combo –  Buy a breast for $11.25 lb and get 2 Legs for $12 a small savings from the turkey farmer to you.

***Considering the large increase in feed cost, I feel these are good prices. I expected it to be a little more.
PICK UP – at the Hollywood Farmers Market on Nov 19th, our last market, the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Whole Turkeys will be fresh, on ice and will keep fresh for a week. I encourage you to keep them in the coldest part of your fridge on ice, a cooler on ice.  The Breasts, Legs & Wings will already be frozen.
