Today, from 3 pm to 7 pm, the Farm Stand at Ambler Yards comes to town with locally sourced meats and produce from Lancaster County. Every week, we will let you know what to expect in the coming Thursday’s offerings and share information and recipes you can use at home to delight friends and family with fresh farm food!
This week, Strawberries are in abundance! Besides being the ultimate harbinger of farmers’ market season, strawberries are a favorite of the masses. Talk about versatile…there are more strawberry recipes out there than seeds on 1000 strawberries…try counting the seeds on one strawberry and you’ll understand how significant that comparison is!
Just for starters, you can dice strawberries and add them to your favorite salad, you can make fruit cocktail, you can add them to Greek yogurt, you can top oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, muffins, ice cream, they can be the base for pies, cakes, crumbles, crisps, you can mix them into cream cheese or your smoothie…could the possibilities be endless? Try and find out!
Health wise, you can pretty much eat Strawberries as much as you want…Strawberries are packed with folic acid, fiber, potassium and vitamin C – so much so that one cup of fresh strawberries gives you 160 percent of your daily requirement of vitamin C – but with only 50 calories.
We are smitten with Strawberries…now it’s your turn…see you at 3 pm!
