Since this is our annual issue on our community’s agriculture, we thought it fitting to feature fresh, local produce. And everyone knows our farmers produce some of the best veggies (and meats) around.
Stuffed Tomato
Colby’s deli
For a fresh take from a local favorite, try a farm-fresh stuffed tomato from Colby’s Deli. They start with a giant tomato from Riney Farms, and stuff it with chicken salad (or tuna salad, if you prefer). Then Colby’s Deli serves it on a bed of greens with egg and cheese and your choice of salad dressing.
Hillview Hash
Sassafras
Like we said, in addition to the county’s fresh vegetables, our local farmers also produce outstanding quality meat. For their hash, Sassafras uses slow smoked, fresh beef short rib from Hillview Farms. They finish it with locally-sourced sauteed cabbage, carrots, onion and cherry tomatoes.
Peach & Halloumi Toast
Niko’s Bakery and Café
For something to satisfy your sweet and savory craving, try Niko’s Bakery & Café’s Peach & Halloumi Toast. Made on Niko’s fresh sourdough bread with halloumi cheese, and featuring Reid’s Orchard Peaches and Cecil Farms honey and rosemary.
