ALFN Local Food Club:  Weblog Entry

Good Evening,

I failed to mention this past Sunday that the market also has new pumpkin listings. If that doesn’t make you want to make a pile of leaves and jump into them, then maybe the assorted acorn and butternut combos will do it.

Make sure you check out our Volunteer Page for openings this week and in the months to come.You can sign up to what best fits your schedule. Thanks!

Remember to finalize your orders before tomorrow at noon.

All the best,

Kyle Holton
Program & Market Manager

Martin's Farmstand:  Cauliflower

Hello again on a rainy fall evening. There is something cozy about relaxing in a warm house with the smells of good food cooking and a wonderful family all around.

I have lots of nice cauliflower right now. Bulk pricing is a 25 lb tubful for $25 or we also have a buy two get 1 free sale on it right now. This sale will remain as long as we have lots of cauliflower. This week or next week is the time to freeze or pickle your winter supply.

We still have plenty of both sweet corn and green and yellow beans. I am just starting to pick on the last plantings for the year for both of these crops. They will be gone with in a week or two. We are still picking both tomatoes and cucumbers from the greenhouse again.

The lettuce is at its prime right now- sweet and good. Radish, onions, peppers, potatoes, beets, carrots, brussel sprouts- the stand is packed with all sorts of fall foods. Come soon and get yourself the finest food in Potsdam for your cooking and canning needs. Daniel

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Sept 27, 2015

Lamb is in stock, roasts and chops, ground and soup bones. Also mutton stew/kabobs and ground.

As of Sept 27th, we can offer 48 items including the following crops: cherry tomatoes(red, yellow and orange), cilantro, parsley, basil, napa and early white cabbage, arugula (rocket), kale, three varieties of chard, red cabbage, collards, and beets, peppers, eggplant, spaghetti squash.

This saturday is our cider making party, weather permitting. We’ll harvest apples, and cut and mash them as we chat and socialize. Kid friendly. 2 to 4pm, RSVP if coming. Bring a jug to take home your juice and your own apples if you prefer.

Have you been keeping up on your climate news?
Joe Romm at Climate Progress makes it quite easy for us, as in this article about the national carbon emissions pledges countries are making. "The point is that a successful outcome of Paris will not “solve the climate problem” and indeed won’t give us a 2°C world, as anyone who is paying attention understands. (Sadly, a lot of folks in the media aren’t paying attention.)

The bad news, of course, is that since about 2007 leading climate experts have been explaining we only have five to 10 years to act. I debunked the myth that they’ve “always” been saying that in my May post, “The Really Awful Truth About Climate Change.”

So what Paris can accomplish is to give us another five to 10 years of … having five to 10 years to act!!! Woo-hoo."

You can see on this graph that the INDC line tracks the 2degC line for the next few years.

Tullahoma Locally Grown:  Rainy Tuesday

Good Morning.

It looks like it will be a rainy day today. As much as we need the rain, it can make it hazardous to drive. So, instead of going to the grocery store today, how about shopping at your Tullahoma Locally Grown Market? It is open until Wednesday at noon.

Here is the link to the market: Tullahoma Locally Grown Market

Thank you for your support. Have a great day,

Republican Valley Produce:  Welcome Back to RVP

Hello!

I know you have been wondering if the RVP market is going to be open this fall and winter and the answer is yes.

We will be opening the market on Wednesday evening/Thursday morning as usual. The market will remain open until Saturday night at 10 pm. I will harvest your orders and deliver on Tuesday in Clay Center and Wakefield and on Wednesday evening from 5-5:30 at the CICO market in Manhattan during the month of OCTOBER for sure. Please note, I will not be setting up a booth on those evenings, I will just be doing deliveries. I am doing this because we will miss the Saturday markets on Oct 10,24 and 31st for cross country. We will reevaluate after that for Manhattan.

We have been busy planting and getting ready for the winter markets. I have some of the best looking crops I have had in a long time. We have added some new products, as I hope you will see.

Please note that the lettuce, carrots and some root vegetables are not ready to harvest. I did put them on the market, but they will be available soon.

If you have any questions, please direct them to jaysjellies@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Jay and Linda

The event will take place, once again, at The Pretty Prairie Barn, and will be held this coming Sunday, October 4th, 12:30 until 3:00pm.

A beautiful setting with amazing local foods, a chance to meet many of your favorite vendors, and an afternoon in an amazing setting! You will also get to hear speakers like…Swisher Hill Herbs, End Of The Road Farms, Bad Seed Mustard, and your own market manager speaking on behalf of this little local market of love…

I would love to have a virtual market group of customers and vendors sharing tables, meeting, talking, getting to know who brings your food in, each week, and who is buying the local products from this market. An intimate afternoon of virtual market fun…breaking bread, getting to know each other, getting to know the real life stories of some of our vendors…

To make it even easier, you can email me your reservations, I will get those names to the Chamber, we will reserve your seats, and you can make sure to pay for your tickets at virtual market pick up, Thursday evening.

Let me know before noon, tomorrow!!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
