Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Dec 19 2021

We are arrived; the shortest day of the year now upon us and it’s all downhill from here; every day a couple minutes longer. I can hear the plants applauding.

I discovered a new salad green that we planted as part of a mix, now it’s grown to maturity. It’s called Tokyo Bekana a member of the mustard family. Once you’ve tried it, you might decide to plan for Tokyo Bekana in the summer rather than lettuce. The flavor is very mild, and most people don’t notice they aren’t eating lettuce. The texture of the white stems is very crunchy and juicy, and the frilly leaves are sweet and tender.The color of the leaves is chartreuse: a light bright lime green.

We have available celery, mixed greens (aka mesclun), spinach, chard, mustards, collards and a selection of fresh herbs. Root vegetables include carrots, garlic, leeks, fennel, potatoes, turnip, rutabaga, squash varieties, and beets. Of course the freezers are full of beef, pork and chicken, and the hens lay eggs every day.

Christmas/Solstice Hours

We’ll be holding the market on Thurs 4 to 6 as usual or by arrangement.

Thank you to 25 customers who replied to our questions about how we’re doing and what you would like to see in the future. Surprise: over half want us to grow strawberries. I can hardly remember how long ago I grew this crop here, at last 10 years, so we’ll likely give it another go. I have just the spot in mind in the space between the cider apple trees: the Joubert block.

We have a new farm intern starting full time January 1st. Mackenzie Mallais, a volunteer this summer, has decided they really want to learn the small farm livelihood and market gardening in particular. I’m excited about the new energy we’ll have on the farm.

Yalaha, FL:  Happy Holidays, Market Open

We are here, for the Holidays and on a pretty much normal schedule and can probably accommodate early pickup schedule. Just let me know when you want to pick up.

I believe I also have cilantro available if anyone wants some of that, let me know (I just haven’t added it to the market.) And if anyone wants Regular Chives, I have those as well as little chive seedlings available. If there is demand I can list them for you.

I’ve adjusted the regular ordering window a little bit to account for when we are packing up the Restaurant orders. So order now through Thursday 8am for Friday-Sunday pickup.

I may still be able to take orders after Thursday Morning but can’t guarantee availability of things as I may have already packed them for the Restaurants.
Ordering window is Monday Afternoon through Thursday Morning and pick up will be Friday-Sunday by appointment until we expand more, Please indicate when you would like to pick up when you place your order.

Remember to tell me when you want to pick up! (and if I don’t reply to confirm within a day, bump my e-mail or text me 407-342-8515. Though I have cleaned up my e-mail so hopefully I won’t Miss Anyone.)

Sign in to order. https://yalaha.locallygrown.net/market

You have to sign in to see the add to cart button. Then set the number and click the add to cart button on the items you want to buy (it is the little picture right next to the quantity box.) Remember you need to check out before your order will be placed.
Remember to let me know when you want to pick up on Sat or maybe even Friday late afternoon or on Sunday. (If I don’t send you an e-mail confirmation of your order and pick up time, please make sure you checked out and completed your order.)

2) Produce sellers OFTEN add more products on Monday or Tuesday in the ordering period, so be sure to check back. The product list changes each week, even from the same seller, so it’s worth exploring the categories you are interested in.
3) Multiple orders from you will be combined into one order before pickup.

Foothills Market:  The Market is Open For Christmas Shopping!

Stuck for a gift for someone on your list? Maybe there’s something on Foothills Market that will work – after all, who doesn’t like food? Maybe something sweet like a pan of brownies, a package of cookies, or a jar of jam would be just right. Local honey, with all its health benefits, is always a great gift. Maybe you would like to give someone a gift that lasts past the holidays – we can set you up with a Foothills Market gift certificate for any amount you choose (send us an email to order a gift certificate).

Don’t forget that we also have a regular selection of vegetables and meats. If you’re a little tired of roasting a turkey and would like to try something different for Christmas dinner, how about a leg of lamb or a beef roast? Pair it with some roasted butternut squash or sweet potatoes, a side of fresh greens, and maybe even the last of the season’s tomatoes.

Browse the market between now and Wednesday at 5 p.m. Be sure to click the “Place your order” button, and we’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon, just in time for your Christmas Eve.

Eat something fresh this Christmas, and give something local!
