This week Hattie’s Garden is pulling more sweet baby carrots and beautiful little red satin radishes. We continue to grow a nice selection of microgreens.

The organic mushroom seasonings, soups, coffee and powders from Davidson Exotics have been very popular and are selling quickly. This week we are introducing various “salts” to our list of culinary mushroom seasonings. Made with certified organic mushroom powders and Himalayan pink salt as well as various herbs, these salts are wonderful for adding an amazing depth of flavor and nutrition to any recipe. You can also substitute it for regular salt and keep this at your table with your pepper mill.

Our line-up of certified organic mushroom powders have been well received. This includes Lion’s Mane that protects against dementia, provides focus and nerve health; Reishi, which can can be used as a powerful antioxidant, supports recovery from mental stress and provides resilience following physical stress; Turkey Tail, which supports a strong and healthy immune system and promotes digestive health; and a variety of blends, including Forage Blend which contains Porcini, Chanterelle, Morel, Matsutake and Wood Ear.

The ways to use these mushroom powders are limitless, but here are a few ideas — add a few pinches to the mix the next time you make granola, or toss with vegetables just before roasting. Use a teaspoon of powder in hot or cold coffee or add it to your favorite juice or smoothie. Make a dry rub for meat, poultry, or fish. Mix a compound butter with mushroom powder, coarse salt, and chopped herbs. Steep mushroom powder for a broth that tastes flavorful fast, or add it to sauces, soups, beans, greens, and baked goods — really, anything in which you want a little more oomph.

We are also carrying Davidson’s organic Wild Rice Mushroom soup, organic Fairtrade instant mushroom coffee, and Umami seasoning with Lion’s Mane, Pioppini and Grey Oyster Mushrooms. What a treat to have these medicinal and culinary mushroom products for you!

Enoch Farms has sustainably raised, naturally grown, heritage pork. They provide us with a nice assortment of products, including plenty of specialty sausages, ground pork, ham steaks, scrapple and porkchops.

Dittmar Family Farms raises Belted Galloway. This exquisite artisan beef is unlike any conventionally raised beef you will find in the supermarket. Known for a much leaner, yet nicely marbled meat, “Belties” averages 46% lower in calories, 70% lower in fat and saturated fat, 57% lower in cholesterol and 19% higher in protein than comparable beef breeds, including Angus. We are carrying a nice selection of their steaks, roasts and other beef cuts.

Mahon River Farm brings us locally raised, locally fed and locally processed pasture-raised whole chickens. We are carrying chicken thighs and boneless chicken breasts.

AlaskaWild provides us with some of the best wild fish available, directly from a family business based in Clam Gulch, Alaska. We carry whatever is in season and at present have salmon in the following varieties: Coho, Sockeye, Smoked Black-pepper, Smoked Cajun and of course, traditional. We also have Alaska Rockfish. This fish is flash-frozen and gets rave reviews from our customers.

From Twin Posts, we have wonderful free-range chicken eggs.

Gaia Coffee Co. brings us specialty Costa Rican coffee that is craft-roasted in small batches to guarantee a beautiful, consistent roast every time. You can purchase them whole bean or ground. We have five blends to choose from.

• Slower Lower Blend — blend of Colombian, Brazil and Costa Rican beans. This is medium-dark roast with notes of toffee, semi-sweet chocolate with a full bodied finish. Perfect for any occasion.
• Farmers Market Blend — a beautiful blend of Central American coffees roasted on the darker side for a full bodied cup with notes of toffee, semi-sweet chocolate and a rich finish on the palate.
• Aquiares CentroAmericano — full-bodied, medium roast exotic coffee with hints of cacao, oranges & almonds.
• Colombia Palmera Decaf — this coffee is a blend of multiple regions in Colombia. Has hints of cinnamon, caramel and citrus notes.
• Nasa Blend — a classic, consistent, and smooth coffee. Has hints of molasses & chocolate notes.

Stag Run Farm apples are running low and the only apples we have left are Granny Smith, available in quart size (approximately 2 lbs.).

Chapel’s Country Creamery makes some of the nicest cheese we have ever had. Their on-farm cheese-making operation is one of the first of its kind in Maryland. We love their Brie, Cheddars and Bay Blue, as well as their fresh cheese. And we are particularly fond of their alpine style Woodbine cheese, which has the perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors.

Backyard Jams & Jellies has many choices this year. If you are looking for some great jams, chutneys, or jellies for the holiday season, please take a look at the selections we have. For more choices, stop by the Garden on Tuesday or Saturday.

From Chrissy Bee’s, a division of Stag Run Farm, we have wildflower raw honey, Dutch clover raw honey and raw honeycomb.
