ALFN Local Food Club:  Reminder...Market & ArkGIVES!


ALFN Members,

I’ve got two important announcements this mid-week. First, Tammy Sue’s Critters will have an open farm day THIS Saturday from 10:00-2:00. You are invited to come out and check out the baby chicks, greet a couple of bottle-fed baby goats and hang out by a fire pit. It will be awesome. Here is Tammy’s farm address: 4 Cheyenne Tr. North Little Rock, 72120.

Also, we are only two days away from the BIG annual Arkansas Gives event. This is a fantastic way to support ALFN and other local non-profits. Again, donations given on this day to ALFN are pooled and bonus dollars given based on how much is raised. Please set your reminders to hop over to ALFN’s Arkansas Gives page and donate on Thursday.

We still have three spots open for volunteers this Saturday. Sign up at Volunteer Spot and enjoy helping fellow members get their produce. We’ve got hot brew and snacks during your shift as well.

Be well.

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm week of Mar 27 2016


Who would have thought we’d get two snow storms in first half of April! And twenty degree C swings in temperature.

The greenhouse is giving about 10dC of temperature protection at night and lots of heat during the days. The crops are looking fabulous.

We can offer spinach, kale, collards, mixed greens, cilantro, chard, arugula, rocket, green onions and leeks. Rhubarb maybe. The freezers are well stocked with lamb, beef, chicken, goose and duck, tho we are running low on some items, sold out on others. Cami will have stuffed peppers and quiches this week.

I have tree seedlings, about 3ft tall, ready to plant: Red Oak, Black walnut, and Eastern Chestnut. Also have comfrey in pots for your medicinal garden.

I discovered some mainstream ‘heavy hitters’ who are sounding the wake-up call for businesses to stress test their business plans for climate change. I like the approach of providing a ‘most likely’ and a extreme 5% risk with very costly impacts. This one by Bloomberg et al. From their website:
The mission of the Risky Business Project is to quantify the economic risks to the United States from unmitigated climate change. (You can easily extrapolate what these might be for Canada.) Our inaugural report, Risky Business: The Economic Risks of Climate Change in the United States, highlighted these risks across every region of the country, with a focus on three sectors: commodity agriculture, energy demand and coastal infrastructure.
Our research combines state-of-the-art climate science projections through the year 2100 with empirically-derived estimates of the impact of projected changes in temperature and precipitation.

When assessing risk related to climate change, it is particularly important to consider outlier events and not just the most likely scenarios. Indeed, the outlier onein- 100-year event today will become the one-in-10-year event as the earth continues to warm. Put another way, over time the extremes will become the “new normal.”

Interactive maps, regional reports and other content associated with the Risky Business Project are located at riskybusiness.org.
