Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of June 14 2015
The outdoor garden plantings of chard and kale are now harvestable, the early succulent leaves are delightful. We picked several liters of strawberries so I’ll have some this week. See attached list for full offering this week.
This sunday June 21, is our annual Strawberry solstice, 2pm families invited. For the potluck portion, please bring as follows:
If you last name starts with letter in first half of alphabet (up to M), please bring 2 quarts strawberries. If your in the last half, please bring refreshments for 4 to 6 people. I’m sure we’ll have enough. We will supply the cream and some fresh berries too. I will need an RSVP by email or phone with numbers coming. Pls bring a lawn chair and table setting for your family. We’ll have a haywagon ride, might see a newborn calf and of course lots of sheep and chickens.
Have you been following the Avian Flu debacle in the US? Its’ here too but very much under control so far, stateside already 40million chickens killed to try and eradicate the virus. Egg prices are going up sharply. Get our turkey orders in early this year; they are hit too.
A bit on rhubarb. Rhubarb has many uses. The most common is medicinal. Rhubarb has been used in medicines and folk healing for centuries.
Then there is cleaning pots and pans
Use Rhubarb to clean your pots and pans (no joke!) If your pots and pans are burnt, fear not! An application of rhubarb over the afflicted area will bring back the shine in next to no time. Environmentally friendly too!
Hair Color
This is a fairly strong dye that can create a more golden hair color for persons whose hair is blond or light brown. Simmer 3 tbsp. of rhubarb root in 2 cups of water for 15 minutes, set aside overnight, and strain. Test on a few strands to determine the effect, then pour through the hair for a rinse.
Insecticide
Rhubarb leaves can be used to make an effective organic insecticide for any of the leaf eating insects (cabbage caterpillars, aphids, peach and cherry slug etc).
Recipe 1
So, next time you pick some rhubarb stems to eat, you can put the leaves to good use rather than just composting them (which isn’t in itself such a bad use, I guess).

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown: Locally Grown - Availability for June 17th , 2015
Hey Local Food Lovers,
Sorry this will be an extremely short message today. Just want to remind folks that the market is open until 9PM and there are some truly excellent items available.
We returned from Asia last Tuesday and it’s been so fun to dive into all the new fruits and veggies available that weren’t here when we left.
Had our first sungold cherry tomatoes this weekend. Also some swiss chard from Taylor Creek Farms. Though not available here at Locally Grown really enjoyed some of Trillium Farms micro greens which I hadn’t tried in ages. Taylor Creek’s head cabbages were also delicious. And we used some local eggs to make Belgian Waffles this weekend with Mountain Earth Farms strawberries sliced on top. Yum!!
We’ve probably had a lot more but that’s all I have time to describe. Thanks for those who expressed an interest in the Asian Food blogs over the previous weeks. I really enjoyed sharing and am glad to know that it was interesting to some of you. Will try and continue to infuse some cultural elements here and there as appropriate.
Don’t forget to buy your FARM TOUR tickets THIS WEEK. Price goes up after the 17th so get now while they are cheap. You can either add to your cart or visit www.eatwellbuylocal.org and buy them there with a credit card.
Also sign up to help a farm prepare for the Tour at our Crop Mobs. We’re helping 6 total farms this year to clean up, weed and get ready for the tour and a bountiful season. They need all the help they can get, and it’s a great way to get to know these farms more intimately.
We are working to possibly increase the use of Locally Grown and other markets in our region in the SNAP program. We’ll let you know how that goes. If you have a special interest in seeing more SNAP recipients participate in Locally Grown, let us know. We may be able to use your help in assessing how to reach this audience.
Ok, got to go. Don’t forget to EAT WELL,
Justin, Chuck, Teri and Andrew

Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
So as promised, I am going to tell you the secret today about our next adventure in local food. We (Princeton Farm Fresh) will be starting a traditional farmers market! It will be on Thursday evenings from 4-6 starting on July 2nd. The market will run for 10 weeks and we are hoping to have not only farmers, but also food vendors, kids events, and an opportunity for non profits to do a bit of fund raising as well. We are working on the location, but are actively targeting the downtown Princeton area. We are still trying to put everything together for this, so more details will come soon.
Our online market will still happen on Friday’s from 4-6 at the Tractor Supply without any interruptions.
This is just one more opportunity for you to keep your food dollars local.
See you on Friday,
Angela
