ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Reminder

Market closes tomorrow at noon!

It is a hot one today. As you read this reminder, you may be preparing for the bike ride or car commute home. You will climb into a metal box with super-heated air. The sultry air will be heavy as you inhale, and each exhalation will only drive up the humidity. The very molecules of air, seat and steering wheel will seem to melt and languidly droop into the floor mat below you. Next, the turbid air will compress around your collar, cuffs and ankles. How will you survive the journey home? How will you endure the furnace of the world?

What if you had a fresh cantaloupe waiting in the fridge? Or frozen blueberries or blackberries? Need a peach or nectarine to percolate and drizzle out the heat? How about a chopped watermelon drunk in its ice cold liquid? What if you had Kombucha fizzing and cracking like a glacier or a glass of ice ginger green tea to help relinquish the flames? Can you feel the coolness as it relaxes your throat?

Kick off your shoes and order some respite.

Coolly Yours,

Kyle Holton
Program & Market Manager

Champaign, OH:  A Day In The Life

This week’s spotlight is on our newest market vendor, Sarah, of Stillhaven Gardens!

Sarah joined our little local market of love, back in the winter, and we are excited to have her and her products!

She is not alone in her first market venture…she is always accompanied by her two cute sons when she delivers! They are helping, learning, and enjoying this experience!

So, we say welcome to Sarah…

I’m two weeks new to the market and already having a great time. Thanks so much to those who have already placed orders with Stillhaven Gardens! Every year I like to grow several new items, and the garden is always full of weird and wonderful edibles. You won’t find them all in my listing, but don’t be surprised if you discover a little something extra tucked into your order from time to time. This week the lettuce orders got a few edible borage flowers in their bags. Gardening and eating should be an adventure and I look forward to sharing it with you!

Thanks,
Sarah

Champaign, OH:  You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello...

Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye
I say hello
(Beatles – Hello Goodbye)

So, just last week, we said a sad goodbye to Steven of The Berry Patch! Strawberry season was way too short but we loved what he brought, and we were thankful for the season!

This week, just when we sadly thought of a week of no berries, I got a call from Cathy Pullins telling me to add her red raspberries to the market!! Yes, Champaign Berry is back with us with their fresh berries!!

Again…seasonal, local, amazing!

Get your orders in, quickly!!

Just as we said, goodbye, we gladly say, hello, to the next berry!!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
Cosmic Pam

Old99Farm Market:  OLd 99 Farm, week of June 21 2015

I gotta say, this is worth leading off wtih. Talk about one guy having a ‘noble goal’ and making it happen; learn about Cary Fowler…

First the UK paper of record, the Guardian, gives a current update on the Seed vault at Svelbard, Norway. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2015/may/22/seeds-of-time-preserving-food-resources-in-a-hot-future-climate

Some people are getting ready for monoculture food crop disasters… the story of the guy who got the seedvault project started is now a film. Trailer here http://www.seedsoftimemovie.com/trailer

Crop diversity pioneer Cary Fowler travels the world, educating the public about the dire consequences of our inaction. Along with his team at The Global Crop Diversity Trust in Rome, Cary struggles to re-invent a global food system so that it can,in his words: “last forever.” Cary aims to safeguard the last place that much of our diversity is left in tact: in the world’s vulnerable gene banks. Here is his 2009 TED talk http://www.ted.com/talks/cary_fowler_one_seed_at_a_time_protecting_the_future_of_food

The film will be available for sale in the fall, only showing advance screenings in the US now.

And of more local interest, we have strawberries! Tho limited supply. Asparagus season is over till next year.
New lettuces in the garden Romaine and Butter, winter sown crops were much appreciated by you and the cows, who got into the greenhouse last week, thanks to yours truly leaving the back door open.

We had a delightful Strawberry Solstice on Sunday. Next year I will avoid scheduling conflict with Fathers Day! We did a leisurely wagon ride through the pastures, and got close up to the Lineback calf, born two days earlier.

Palatine Fruit and Roses first delivery run is approaching. I don’t have enough expressions of interest yet to convince them to make Old 99 a stop on their way to Brantford. Speak up if you want unsprayed, tree ripened fruit by emailing me. The schedule look like this
July 5. to 15. early cherries
July 15. to July 30 – late cherries, apricot, early golden plums, early peaches
Aug. 12 to Aug 20 – free stone peaches, red plums, maybe apricot
Labour day – free stone peaches, nectarines, Bartlett pears, blue plums, table grapes
September 10 – Sept. 20 – Bosc pears, table grapes, grape juice

GFM :  What a Weekend !

Hope you Dads had a great Fathers Day with your families.

What a great Saturday Market we had !..
Lot of wonderful, locally grown produce, eggs,baked goods and crafts.

The customers just kept coming and coming. Our vendors sold out in record time. Please remember we open at 8 am, and with produce just making a good showing it will sell out in a hurry. So get here early if you want to make sure you get your share.

If you pre-order from the online market, you will be guaranteed to get your share, BEFORE, it hits the market on Saturday. So get those pre-orders in now.

Thank You,
J. Shelton
and the Vendors of the Greeneville Farmers Market.
