Mobile Market Launches Next Week! (6/22 Newsletter)

Happy Summer Solstice!

Sure hasn’t been feeling like it lately, but summer is here! With the onset of summer comes- the moment we’ve all been waiting for- Mobile Market season!

Ordering will open on Saturday 6/24 for delivery to all pickup locations on the following Thursday, 6/29. You can order between Saturday and noon on Wednesday each week for delivery on Thursday.  For details on each location, pickup times, etc., check our website starting tomorrow, Friday 6/23. We have partnered with many generous businesses who are willing to share their time and space with us- please be respectful of that and pick up your order withing the window of time that will be state online. Orders that are not picked up by the end of the time slot will be donated and will not be refunded!

Unfortunately, we are still working with the USDA for approval of SNAP processing online. In the meantime, if you need to use SNAP, please reach out to Joan at (413) 296-4536 ext. 102 or JoanG@hilltowncdc.org.  Any questions that come up throughout the ordering process, please do not hesitate to ask! Reach us at market@hilltowncdc.org.

Our featured farmer is Holly Kellogg of Holly Berry Farm in Chesterfield. We are well stocked with her honey and beef! We have T-Bone, Tenderloin, Ribeye, Sirloin Strip, NY Sirloin, and Porterhouse steaks!

The recipe I’ve included is an easy veggie curry that calls for swiss chard, but feel free to substitute any hearty greens. I like to serve veggie dishes like this over grains with a little more protein than rice- try rye berries that we have in the store! I also highly recommend using the spices we carry from Old Friends Farm- they grow excellent quality ginger and turmeric in greenhouses right in Amherst!

We are also on the lookout for someone who would be interested in occasional work in the store on a more “on-call” basis to help cover meetings, vacations, and the like. This would have the possibility of some more hours in the future. Please share and send us an email if this interests you!

We are so excited to get the Mobile Market rolling and be able to distribute food all across the Hilltowns! Thank you all for your support!

-Hannah, Hunt, Gabriel, Brian, and Joan (The Hilltown (Mobile) Market Team!)
