ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Reminder

ALFN Members,

Remember to make your order on the market before it closes on Wednesday at noon. You don’t want to miss those sun-ripened tomatoes!

Also, don’t forget the Southern Center for Agroecology will have its first workshop on canning this Thursday at the Church. You can sign-up here: Canning Workshop

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 farm, week of July 3 2016

There will be U-pick raspberries and currants this week. These berry crops are bountiful this year. We’ll also have some pre-picked if you are in a rush. Currants make a wonderful jam or cordial, high in nutrition.

Regular crops: kale, beet tops, chard, green onions, green garlic, arugula, parsley and tomatoes. Should have yellow zuchini next week.

I went to Bob Bratina’s townhall meeting on climatechange today. A bigger than expected turnout made it clear that if you are informed about climate change, you have every reason to be alarmed. Bob is the Liberal MP for Stoney Creek, former mayor and a sports broadcaster before that. He gets it. But he like most every other politician has NO IDEA how to lead the country through a crisis the likes of which no one has ever experienced, even world war. We heard several pleas that the feds take this climate thing as seriously as we would another world war. Bob was at loss of how to proceed, and yet he gets it that building more oil infrastructure is foolish if to keep below 2degC we have to leave 80% of the carbon fuels in the ground. He gets it that building car-centric cities and burbs is foolish when transportation in the Hammer contributes more than a quarter of all GHG pollution. He gets that the people have to wake up and take responsibility for personal decisions that consume oil and produce carbon. I can hardly blame him for now knowing how to navigate into a future we can only dread if we stay the ‘business as usual’ course.
You and I and our friends and relations have to get with the program: get informed, take to heart we live in the age of limits, care enough for younger generations to forgo consumption pleasures etc now.

Healthy eating

Yalaha, FL:  July 5 through 7 ordering

Didn’t get the market open at the normal time. There isn’t a whole lot available this time of year, I almost didn’t open this week.

Stones River Market:  IMPORTANT!

Hello valued customers!

We need to remind folks that if you order, you MUST pick it up on Wednesday or make immediate arrangements to get your things as soon as possible.
Our farm is not equipped to handle excess produce and cannot guarantee the quality of items not picked up. Our farmers responsibility ends when they drop your items off. Ashleigh and I are volunteers of the market and have a farm and family to also attend to. WE LOVE the market, but want it to flourish and not suffer due to the market having to pay farmers for items ordered and not picked up.

Everyone completely understands the occasional forget and there is always a measure of grace that is extended to managers, customers and farmers. We are all human.

However, if you order and don’t pick up, be advised that you will be charged for your purchase via a square invoice emailed to you. You must pay that even if you never pick up your items.

Thank you for your continued support and for respecting our wonderful market and it’s producers.

Sincerely,
Tracey Burks

DeForest, WI:  Availability for the week of July 3

Hope Every one had a safe and Happy 4th of July.

Please note that several items are listed at “0” that is because we may have some but we may not have some. Please add to the comment area any items you are interested in and we will pack them if available.

Items listed at “0” include some of the berries. Other items possible, but not listed would include green beans. Forest Run Farm has spotted a yellow and red cherry tomato, so hoping the warm weather we’ll be getting will nudge them along as well.

The Market is open!

Champaign, OH:  Happy 5th Day of July!!

Hey, now…the weekend is over, it’s still a bit of a jolt to go back to the reality of it all, and, it’s even harder to remember that it’s a Tuesday, since the holiday fell on a Monday!

BUT…the market would like to remind you that we close, this evening, at 10pm!!

Get back into the groove by making your lists, placing your orders, and going back to enjoy your week!! It’s that simple!!

AND…Champaign Berry Farms has added black raspberries!!!

However, we do have a few growers on vacation status!! Not to worry!! They are tending to their fields and gardens, and needed the time to get it all done!! They will be back!!

The time is now!! Think about all that you need, want, or desire from this market…

Peace, Love, Grooviness…
