When summer gives you peaches, make peach soup.

My Amish friend Sam called tonight to update me on his tomatoes. Sam and his wife, Ellen, grow the largest and most delicious tomatoes I’ve ever had. Their heirlooms, which they have saved seed from for years, are pretty amazing and they’re just turning red, pink, and yellow, depending on the variety.

It took a village but we have moved the Honest Farm ‘Pure Kentucky’ Market to 128 Main Street in Midway, location of the former Depot restaurant (across the street from The Black Tulip and Quirk Cafe). We could not have done this without the help of so many wonderful customers and friends.

Some I really want to thank are Blair West and Betsey Hagan (who continue to help on a daily basis at the store and farm), Alfred and Hurst Nuckols, John McDaniel, Bob and Mary West, Dan and Adele Roller, Wilda and Rick Caudle, Jaspal and Thad, Linda Nelson, Mary Jane McGaughey, Kit Walden, Mary and Tom Sayre, Tim Klarer, and many others who lent their moral support.

Nothing says summer like local chicken on the grill.

Here’s a recent article I did for sprig.com. They’ve redesigned the site and it’s all about "Eco Chic." And you can’t be any more chic than eating locally.

Summer Grilled Chicken With Peach-Blackberry Salsa

The trick to grilling chicken and keeping it juicy and delicious, is to gently poach the chicken before marinating it. This will insure that the chicken will be cooked through and seared to perfection. You can use most any of your favorite herbs for the recipe. It’s hard to mess it up.—Susie Quick
