New Baltimore Farmers' Market Recipe Swap

New Baltimore Farmers Market is hosting a recipe swap. A new Market Recipe will be offered on the Farmers Market website and in print at the market information table each week.

If you're in or around downtown New Baltimore on a Sunday morning, chances are good that you've dropped by and enjoyed the Farmers Market located in the lot between the police station and the recreation department. The Farmers Market has a lot of really great things to offer. One new adventure the market is embarking upon is a recipe swap.

The New Baltimore Farmers’ Market Recipe Swap kicks off this week. The idea behind the recipe swap is simply to share the goodness of our local harvest via recipes inspired by the seasonal delights available weekly at the New Baltimore Farmers Market.

The Recipe Swapping will begin Sunday, Aug. 14, and continue through the end of Market Days on Oct. 23, 2011. The goal of the recipe swap will be to compile enough local recipes to create our own Market to Table Cookbook.

By summer’s end, we hope to have gathered an abundance of recipes which will be compiled in a cookbook for market fans filled with wonderful locally harvested culinary delights.

Each week, a new Market to Table Recipe will be available at the market information table, and posted on the Farmers Market website.

We ask that you submit a favorite recipe in return. Recipes can be dropped off each week to the information table at the market where there will be a box labeled Market Recipe Drop-off or you can email directly to the New Baltimore Farmers’ Market website.

To submit a recipe to via the web site simply click on the Contact Us tab and fill out the required information on the form: your name, email address, and in the comments field copy and paste your recipe then click the submit button.

There is no limit to the number of recipes you can share; we simply ask that the recipe or ingredients be inspired by the Farmers Market in some way. Market vendors and market goers are welcome to participate.

Note: Please do not copy a recipe directly from a cookbook to submit, if you have a favorite recipe from a cookbook, family member or friend you would like to share, simply attribute the recipe creator.
