Palmyra Real Food Emporium

Last week’s salmon catch at the Emporium was a big success. Tom is set up to have salmon delivered by Jenn and Steve Kurlan, of Bloomsburg, every five weeks. But because of your response last Friday and Saturday, he’s already getting another delivery tomorrow (Wednesday)! So there will be more of all five types of salmon – fillets, fillet portions, Nova Style smoked, natural smoked and salmon burgers – this weekend.

Here at the end of the summer growing season, it’s a little hard to say what the Emporium’s suppliers will have on Tom’s rounds this week. But the important thing is, the produce will be field- or orchard- fresh and local. It’s a little early for pumpkins, but late season apples, maybe some squashes and possibly long-necked pumpkins will be on hand this week. Peaches might be available for another week.

Tom’s been drying mushrooms and has them for sale, along with freshly canned asparagus, beets and onions. This week he’s been preparing tomatoes as tomato sauce (with onions) and tomato water (this last a base for soups). He’ll have his unseasoned “limited edition” tomato sauce in pints and tomato water in quarts. Fresh tomato concentrate is run through a linen filter to produce the two consistencies.

So it will be a Labor Day weekend of freshness and preserves at the Emporium, looking toward fall. Dairy products and meats as usual, in addition to the Alaskan sockeye salmon.
