Miami County Locally Grown: With a heavy heart...
I am heartbroken to have to share tragic news. So many of you have regularly inquired about Violet, the unforgettable little girl of one of our dearest friends and former vendors, after hearing her diagnosis with brain cancer last October.
You can visit the Facebook page @violetbensman where her parents have chronicled her journey with brain cancer, and where they’ve shared that on Sunday her brave and remarkable battle had come to an end.
From her incredible mother Katie: “Our girl has gone home. Our beautiful Violet passed away Sunday afternoon – the Day of Consecration of Children to Saint Philomena. She was granted a peaceful death at home surrounded by her loving family. We are heartbroken, and yet thankful she will never suffer again – she is finally running and dancing and singing her heart out again. Please continue to pray for strength and peace for her 2 little sisters, parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends who love her dearly – and forgive the weather today – the Earth is mourning the loss of a beautiful soul.”

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Aug 25, 2019
i was out in the orchards this weekend past, the 100 yr orchard and the 2008 orchard I planted. They suffered (enjoyed?) horticultural neglect this season. Not pruned as they should have been, not sprayed with biological nutrients, not mulched raminal wood chips. So there is some insect damage on the peaches, pears, apples mainly. But what a bountiful harvest it will be! Trees just loaded with apples, including my fav in the 100yr orchard on the hill: it was hit by lightning in 2007 just before I came on this land. Really gobsmacked it was, right in two, and the old trunk was already hollowed out to a mere shell. But I let it be, encouraged certain new shoots, pruned away others. Now a whole new trunk is growing up from the base of the old. But wonder of it all, both new and old decimated tree are bearing a bumper crop of beautiful apples. I can hardly wait, well, I haven’t really, I’ve already been tasting them! Pretty tart just yet, but wait till they redden (and I’ve pruned way some of the excess watershoots so the sunlight can stimulate the colour and the flavour). We’ll have a harvest to be grateful for.
New this week: freshly dug potatoes to go along with the onions last week. Tomatoes of various sizes and varieties are now ripened. Aronia berries for the savant connaisseurs of natural immune booster berries are ripe to pick.
The rest is the same as last week. By the way I usually don’t wash our vegetables. Even washing removes nutritional value I believe.
We have basil, carrots, zukes, spinach, radicchio, onions, beets and tops, beans, kale, collards, potatoes and tomatoes, and eggplant and peppers. Limited peaches for those of you eager for organic. (peaches are one of the ‘dirty dozen’ with high pesticide residues)
Climate Quote of the week:
Roger Hallam, co-founder Extinction Rebellion: Roger emphasizes that now is the time for all of us to unite, to put any ideological differences between us into their proper context and to suspend any animosity towards others with different points of view. Or as Roger puts it, “We don’t have time to be snotty”. Solidarity, unity in diversity, compassion and love for all life… these are our antidotes to the massive climate and ecological crisis that confronts us. Watch this youtube for the whole 17 minute talk.

Farm News of the Week
Molly from Kountry Vittles writes:
I finally got my offerings updated. I removed a few cakes and pies and added a whole bunch of my own creation cupcakes. I also added Pecan Pie Bars, Lemon Bars and my Lemon Drop Cookies. I am working on a Pumpkin Spice Cupcake and hope to have that one added soon for the fall. I’m having a ball designing new flavors. If I can get a chance to get to Murfreesboro I hope to add a few smaller sized sweet breads.

Top (L to R): Sundrop Cupcakes, Almond Joy Brownie Bites.
Bottom (L to R): Chocolate Turtle Cupcakes, Pecan Pie Bars.
Albert Lynn has added cucumbers to his vegetable offerings. Both “Straight 8” and pickling cucumbers are available in good quantities. He mentioned that there will soon be other changes, as the fall vegetables begin to produce and the summer ones retire.
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse news:
It’s still pretty hot, but the plants know that fall is just around the corner, literally a flip of a calendar page away. The pretty fall bloomers are coming into their own, and will give a great boost to your garden at a time when color can be a little scarce in the perennial garden.
Put together a beautiful fall garden, or fill in a couple of bare spots with fall color. Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has what you need! And with slightly cooler weather and a bit of rain headed our way this week, it will be a good time to plant them.

Market News
Hello!
There are still great items left on the Market.
The Market will remain open until Tuesday evening for you to place an order for this week.
Here is some information on how Fresh Harvest works.
*If you see an item as Sold Out, write in the Comment section at check out that you would like that item if more becomes available. We’ll try our best to add it to your order.
*PayPal payments have to be manually added to your account. There will be a delay to crediting your account due to me needing to take time to do the bookkeeping. I also have to go to each account with cash or check payments. These are sometimes delayed by procrastination or being busy. You can still place an order even though it may cause your account to be “overdrawn”. There is no penalty for going into the minus column. Sometimes I’m a little slow in getting to the bank to make deposits, but it eventually happens.
• If you recruit a new customer to Fresh Harvest and they open an account with a $50 deposit, we will credit your account $10 for each new customer who signs up. They will need to tell me your name, so that I can credit your account. Word of mouth has been our best advertising. Any help that you can provide is greatly appreciated.
• Every week, we leave orders at the church for customers who cannot arrive at Trinity before 6pm. This has worked well for those who have difficulty with the 4-6pm window. Please let me know if you need me to leave your order at the church.
• The bag that you receive each week is to be brought back with your next order. We have been negligent in telling new customers how this works. Don’t feel bad if you return multiple bags, it happens all the time.
• We’re into reusing and recycling. Our clean egg cartons, honey jars, paper and plastic bags, berry containers are some of the items that we can reuse. If we can’t reuse the returned items, we’ll recycle them.
• We do guarantee everything that we sell. If you ever have a problem, please let us know and we will credit your account.
• If there are other products or growers that you think should be a part of Fresh Harvest, please let me know.
Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!
If you need to text me, my number is 615-838-0428.
