Page 2A The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net Wednesday, May 7, 2014 Market Minutes ... Margot We had a “BERRY” wonderful Saturday at the Foothills Farmers’ Market- Kings Mountain! Lineberger’s Strawberries, a spring tradition in Kings Mountain, arrived at the market this past weekend! All one had to do was walk by the Lineberger’s table to appreciate the a « sweet aroma of this beautiful red Margot Plonk fruit! Foothills Farmers Market Did you know? e Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in the spring. * One cup of strawberries is only 55 calories. e Strawberries are a member of the rose family. e The flavor of a strawberry is influenced by weather, the variety and stage of ripeness when harvested. * Americans eat 3.4 pounds of fresh strawberries each year plus another 1.8 pounds frozen per capita. » Although strawberries are available in many forms— frozen, jam and jelly, and ice cream— nothing com- pares to the taste of a local, fresh vine ripened strawberry. e Strawberries are delicate, requiring gentle handling to prevent bruising. With today's shipping technology, strawberries are available year round, but at a cost, and loss of flavor and nutrients. Come to the Foothills Farmers’ Market- Kings Mountain this coming Saturday and renew your love of LOCAL strawberries! To help celebrate Strawberry season, Downtown restaurants, 238 Cherokee Grill and Southern Chew, will feature local Farmers” Market strawberry specials on their menus through the month of May. In addition, Foothills Farmers’ Market-KM will be having a “Strawberry Princess” contest for the remain- der of the month of May. Girls 10 years old and under can register to compete. Contestants can register on Saturday mornings at the market's information table where they will have a picture taken, and contestant’s pictures will be displayed on boxes and market shop- pers can vote by placing money in each contestants box. All proceeds will go to fund the Farmer Foodshare program, which supports local farmers and provides fresh produce to prepare healthy meals for needy citi- zens in Kings Mountain. The Strawberry princess will be crowned at the market on May 31st at 11:30 am.
