Champaign, OH:  Into The Mystic


We were born before the wind
Also, younger than the sun…
(Van Morrison)

So, what a lovely market filled with lovely customers who were full of good cheer.

It was great to be back in action, and thank you for all of the kind words, and love.

I’m listening to Van Morrison on my back deck, with a glass of wine, and thought this song was perfect to reopen the market.

XOXO,

Miami County Locally Grown:  More asparagus!


Shop here

The asparagus has been growing really well, so we’ve added ten more half-pound bunches. You might want to grab them though, as they go quickly!

Asparagus is one of those fun and easy vegetables to grow. They are a perennial plant, so they come back year after year. Deer don’t like them, so that isn’t a problem. Maybe a way to dip your toes into gardening?

On that note…

The Garden

A well-kept garden certainly is inspiring (despite the work involved!); it is a central idea in the first chapter of Genesis, and gardens are sources of food and beauty. But one of my favorite authors, Michael Pollan, paints a word picture better than anything I can come up with:

“The garden is a place of many sacraments, an arena – at once as common as any room and as special as a church – where we can go not just to witness but to enact, in a ritual way, our abiding ties to the natural world. Abiding, yet by now badly attenuated, for civilization seems bent on breaking or at least forgetting our connections to the earth. But in the garden the old bonds are preserved, and not merely as symbols. So we eat from the vegetable patch, and, if we’re paying attention, we’re recalled to our dependence on the sun and the rain and the everyday leaf-by-leaf alchemy we call photosynthesis.”

So wrapped up we can be in relationships, livelihoods, and other distractions without number that it is all too easy to forget and neglect our ties to natural surroundings, and that our bodies are part of this world of seasons and weather and all manner of birds and other animals and plants of infinite variety…Do yourself a favor and take a little time to be outside today.

Martin's Farmstand:  Asparagus season now; strawberry season in June


The Farmstand is open Monday through Saturday from 10 am- 6 pm. (Closed Sunday) We are in the main asparagus season now. Asparagus season will last until sometime in mid June. The strawberries are at about 10% bloom now which is normal for this time of the year. The plants look nice and healthy. I expect that the strawberries should be ready for harvest starting about mid June with the season lasting 2-3 weeks as is usual. We had a light frost with temps at 32 degrees yesterday morning. If a strawberry flower is damaged by frost/ freezing the white petals will still look bright but the sunny yellow center of the flower turns black within a few hours or a day. I just was out in the strawberry fields and the flower center are all looking up at me with bright yellow centers. This is wonderful to see they escaped frost damage. The first cucumbers in the greenhouse are almost big enough to pick and there are lots of sizing tomatoes. (still very green) Before you complain about the rain think of us produce farmers. It is so reassuring to hear the rain on the roof and to see the little plants taking ahold and growing. Daniel

Locally Grown STT:  Pick up set for tomorrow in Frenchtown! Get your order in asap!


The Market is Open!!!

For only another 3 hours though so be sure to place your order before 5pm today.

All the pick up kinks have been worked out from last week’s pick up and we are all set for tomorrow, Thursday’s pick up! For those who had orders last week, we hit a roadblock last week with DPNR who manages the facility but we worked it out and officially have permission on paper now. Which is great, now they know themselves where to get great local produce on island and are behind supporting local. Thanks to all for being flexible and supporting local too. And as a special treat, we’ll have these extras for sale that didn’t make the website in time, so plan to still stop by tomorrow:

Haitian Mangos
Kidney Mangos
Local Pineapples
