Wedge Oak Farm: Duck, Beef, Pork, Chicken Shop Today!
The online shopping platform is updated with chicken, duck, pork and beef.
I hope you are thinking about the up coming holidays and what you might like to prepare for your friends and family. It seems our chances to bring your favorite farm raised meats will be limited with the holidays falling on our regular Saturday Market days.
This Saturday, December 18 is the last day to shop with us at Richland Park.
However, our new farm store, in Lebanon, will be open on Tuesday December 21 from 11-2 PM. Please choose your pick up options and know we will be looking for you at one of our locations.
Thanks for shopping with us for 2021. We hope to bring you more of what you love in the New Year!

Champaign, OH: 2000 Miles
He’s gone 2000 miles
It’s very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you
The children will sing
He’ll be back at Christmas time
In these frozen and silent nights
Sometimes in a dream
You appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow
Sparkle
Our hearts were singing
It felt like Christmas time
2000 miles
Is very far through the snow
I’ll think of you
Wherever you go
He’s gone 2000 miles
It’s very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you
I can hear people singing
It must be Christmas time
I hear people singing
It must be Christmas time
(The Pretenders)
One of my all time favorite Christmas songs that reminds me of coming home from college, for the holiday, of living in Los Angeles, and getting used to Christmas there, or in the sky, many holidays flying, and hurrying back from trips, and gathering at one of the friends’ houses, to celebrate. Walking around Westwood, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach, looking at lights, stopping for late night drinks…
It’s all Christmas, and I hope that you all feel the Christmas cheer that we hope to project from this little local market of goodness…
Have you made your orders, yet? The market closes at 8am, and then we all will be on holiday break!!
Thank you for always supporting this little labor of love, our little local market.
We thank you, from the bottom of our hearts…
XOXO,

siloamsprings.locallygrown.net
It’s hard to believe that Christmas is almost here and that we will soon be entering a new year!
The market will be open for orders this week but closed the week of Christmas and New Year’s Day to allow our market family time to enjoy their families and the holiday season. Stock up on the items you use each week. Opossum Hollow will be accepting orders during the holiday break. Just email Tom at [email protected].
From our market family to yours – Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
See you Saturday!
Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market: Tis the Season!
It’s now the countdown to Christmas! We’ve added our holiday preview menu items that will be available for Christmas. They are listed as “Holiday – Item” and have a zero quantity listed for you to preview and plan your holiday order. Christmas week pickup will be on Friday December 24th from 10am – 5pm.
This week we have plenty of new and delicious items as well!
We are selling out of the cookies quickly so what is listed, is all that is left! I added a box of undecorated cutout cookies as I have had many requests for those this year. Get a box to decorate with your kids or grandkids without having to bake them – enjoy the fun part of decorating yet have the taste of homemade!
Have a great week!

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.

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Dec 12 2021
I will get this prompt sent off to you early this week.
Please consider responding to our member/customer survey that I sent out over the weekend. We have 11 responses so far from people subscribed here. We’re asking for feedback on how we’re doing and how to improve.
Our offerings for this week Click here
Right now we have celery, mixed greens (aka mesclun), spinach, chard, 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.
I’m trying out a new mission paragraph for what we do. What do you think of it?
Old 99 is a permaculture demonstration site and farm, growing livestock, fruit and four season vegetables, located 5 minutes west of the Dundas city lights. We see ourselves as preparing for the climate emergency by growing local food and garden-farmers, teaching about food security, living a 1.5 degree lifestyle, soil fertility and ecosystem resilience.
Quotes to ponder
“If hope becomes something you express through illusion it’s not hope it’s fantasy. Those who speak truth are marginalised and ignored. dismissed as pessimists in a culture that prides itself on a child like optimism at the
expense of reality. We have a mania for hope which our corporate masters lavishly provide across the political and cultural spectrum to keep us passive”. (Chris Hedges)
“The richest 1% of the world’s people (those earning more than $172,000 a year) produce 15% of the world’s carbon emissions: twice the combined impact of the poorest 50%. On average, they emit over 70 tonnes of carbon dioxide per person every year, 30 times more than we can each afford to release if we’re not to exceed 1.5C of global heating.” (‘Wealth Curse’ George Monbiot)
“Large-scale problems do not require large scale solutions, they require small-scale solutions within large scale frameworks.”(David Fleming, Lean Logic and How to Survive the Future)
And again, that’s another way of looking at what resilience is, It’s a way of linking together a diversity of small-scale solutions, like what this community needs to do or wants to do, or is equipped to do, is going to be totally different from what some other community wants to do. And that’s appropriate, we need a diversity of small-scale solutions, but we also need networks and frameworks that tie them together into a kind of empowered wave of change, if they’re to address large scale solutions. I’ve been involved with Transition towns, Ecological Farmers, National Farmers Union, Extinction Rebellion. All of these in different ways are about creating frameworks, that allow a diversity of small solutions to come together to address a large problem.
