Miami County Locally Grown:  Farm Work (and last day to order!)

Today is the last day to place your orders for pick-up this Tuesday, March 15th. Shop here

So many vocations in this world! Some indoors, some outdoors, some mental, some physical, some tedious and boring, others fast paced and socially intense. Any given job might be a combination of several or all these qualities. Some are considered more lowly and menial, while others are held up as paradigms of talent and achievement.

That some jobs are valued more than others is unfortunate because all work (inequitable pay rates notwithstanding) is important to society in one way or another, regardless of social status – and every working person is deserving of respect for that fact alone. And we should have compassion for those unable to work. The majority of them want to work.

And let’s not forget how very much important unpaid work goes on in this world!

A sometimes-humorous reference is that my off-farm wage work supports my “farming habit”. I’ve had lots of different careers and vocations over the decades, mostly a rich store of experiences. My present occupation of farming is more a fortuitous confluence of events and a kind of personal evolution than any long-term plan, at least previously. And so, I find myself immersed in what some consider menial, low social status work. Perhaps it is, though not among those enlightened consumers who buy from local farms!

There is dignity (and health benefits!) in physical work, particularly outdoors – being intimately in contact with the air and weather, seasons, soil, plants and animals…its own reward, as they say. A great deal is un-glorious, solitary, and distinctly uncomfortable on occasion. But what comes to the fore is a kind of persistence that takes a longer/alternative view of effort and reward, investment and return, and working for something beyond yourself: I think that’s the crux of our mission here on earth. We may or may not find it in a given occupation, but the opportunity is always near, in or beyond our working life. Remember – “You give to the world, you give to yourself, when you’re giving your best to somebody else.” (Lyrics from the song No Place Like the Right Time, by Donna the Buffalo)

Miami County Locally Grown:  We have more spinach!

Shop here

We have a new vendor, Burns Green Leaf Market, who has plenty of spinach available right now.

Joel and Maria Burns own a six-acre farm in Covington and have two young sons. With two hoophouses, they’re able to grow carrots, spinach, and other winter greens such as kale and lettuce throughout the winter – how delectable! Though they aren’t certified organic, the Burns don’t use any pesticides, and for fertilization they use compost, lime, and cover crops.

They are particularly known for their winter spinach, strawberries, tomatoes, and sweet corn, but they also have around 25 other vegetables to be discovered and enjoyed as they come available to us here at the Market. I’m so thankful we’ll be able to purchase their produce here at Miami County Locally Grown!

The Market is now open, so you can place your orders for next Tuesday’s pick-up. Farmhouse Bakery is back after a week off, and it’s a good thing since we need her gluten-free baked goods (among many other delicious treats)!

Enright Park has her popular Pain Relief Lotion Bar in the smaller half ounce size available now as well. With cooling menthol, peppermint essential oil, and arnica, it’s wonderful to use on sore muscles and joints. It’ll be nice to have this around after working hard in the garden!
