Thanks again to everyone that braved the heat last Saturday to come to the market! We’re very fortunate to have incredible volunteers who help set up, tear down, answer questions and other various tasks. You’re the best!
We’re also very excited to introduce to you our first intern of the season, Brandi Irby.
Brandi is a recent graduate of Glencliff High School which is located in the Woodbine community. Her interests in gardening, cooking, the outdoors and animals make her a great asset to the market. Brandi began her own 8 x10 garden in her backyard this year. She is excited to learn more about gardening and meeting new people at the market and we’re certainly glad she’s here to help!
Special thank you to the Glencliff High School Garden Club and sponsors Karri Bishop and Hank Cardwell for their help in establishing the first Woodbine Farmers’ Market Internship Program.

This past Saturday’s market was quite the success! Pies were selling out like hot cakes, milk and eggs were a hot commodity and the strawberries…oh the strawberries! To my surprise, I learned that this is the last official week for strawberries! In a fruit lovers panic, I came home with 3 quarts of beautiful ripe strawberries. If you’re looking for a fun way to use your strawberries, here is a step by step recipe of how to make homemade strawberry sorbet. Its so easy!! (no ice cream maker required, hallelujah)
You need 3 ingredients:
STEP 1: Bring to a boil 1.5 cup of water with 1 cup of sugar in a large sauce pan to make a simple syrup.
STEP 2: After the sugar has dissolved, pour in 1 cup of strawberries. Continually stir until the strawberries become almost translucent or have cooked down quite a bit (about 5 minutes).
STEP 3: After your strawberries have cooked down, strain the liquid and strawberries into a bowl using a fine mesh sieve. Press the berries with a large spoon to get all the strawberry goodness you can! Discard the pulp and seeds.
STEP 4: Cover the bowl with plastic and place in the freezer to cool for 1 hour
STEP 5: After an hour, transfer the cooled mixture into a smaller freezer safe container. Place into freezer for 2.5 hours stirring mixture every hour. Freeze until firm..if it takes a bit more than 2.5 hours, leave it in there for a little while longer.
STEP 6: Enjoy your homemade strawberry sorbet!! See how easy that was?
