Monday Market Preorder Newsletter

Please keep the following deadlines in mind for preorders this week.
Blackbird Farm $15 brown bag deal – Noon Thursday.
Laughing Tree Bakery needs your orders by Tuesday 6pm.

Today’s Soapbox Special: Reading Stolen Focus-Why You Can’t Pay Attention and How to Think Deeply Again,  by Johann Hari. Interesting very deep dive into what it means to be human in today’s high tech world. He lists diet and exposure to pollution as two of the culprits. As a bonus you can go to stolenfocusbook.com/audio and listen to some of the actual interviews he conducted with experts. His biggest fear and motivation for writing the book is that we are losing the ability to focus just when we need it the most – to solve the climate crisis.

It’s going to be another hot sloppy wet week in paradise, so stay hydrated folks and we’ll see you Saturday at the Market!

Vendors Attending Saturday August 13th:

Blackbird Farm of Coopersville
This week at market, we are again offering our pre-selected, pre-packed bags of fresh vegetables. These bags are something akin to our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares. We assemble bags of our highest quality veggies based on whatever is fresh and in season for that week. In the bag, we aim to have some combination and quantity of at least six different vegetables with a combined value around $20. We also include a brief note from Farmer Greg and a farm-tested recipe. Each bag costs $15.
This week’s bag will likely contain a combination of some of the following: kale, chard, green peppers, cucumbers, summer squash, zucchini, carrots, potatoes, parsley, sweet onions, and fresh garlic. Again, each bag will cost $15.

The Pasturage LLC of Montague
It’s tomato season! And we have plenty of bacon. You know what that means!! BLT’s! We only bring a couple of pounds of bacon, so the best way to ensure good summer eating is to pre-order. Also, we are sold out of nitrate-free ham slices. We still have plenty of regular ham slices for cold ham-barley-basil salad. It’s delicious on those summer evenings.
New! A reminder to all that I am now able to swipe your EBT card! We are only allowed have one reader per subscription, so if you know in advance that you would like to use your card, let me know so I can bring the device with me from the other market. If not, we’ll figure something out. Tell your friends! And a quick shout out to Joan: I have your lamb hearts for you!
Isn’t summer eating splendid?!

Monday Market Preorder Newsletter

-Pre-Orders, Pre-Orders, Pre-Orders. A reminder about the value of the pre-order: 1. It’s SO important to help our farmers keep their costs down right now, and 2. It helps you get the products you need!
Even though we all enjoy hanging out at the farmers markets in the summer, please remember our farmers, bakers & food medicine makers are all working hard in this heat. Taking the time & effort to put in a preorder helps them tremendously!

Deadlines to remember: Laughing Tree Bakery needs your orders by Tuesday 6pm. Dark Waters Coffee Roasters are trying out a week of shipping orders instead of bringing them to market, and their deadline is Wednesday noon.

Everyone else is accepting preorders all week up until Friday, so give them a look and please take the time to order!

Today’s Soapbox Special: For those of you who have been in the good food movement for awhile,  this conversation between an organic farmer/founder of REAL ORGANIC PROJECT & founder of Cornucopia & ORGANIC EYE, about the current state of certified organic and attempts to rescue it from BIG AG/ORG will have you nodding in agreement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr3KrIrpyIk&t=4232s

See you Saturday at the Market!

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello :-),
The challenges this growing season have included the long dry spell we had, constant fox pressure, and exhaustion from family, work, and farm responsibilities. This past week we faced a new issue; we were upset to receive a call that someone was scammed by people using our farm name and address. Please beware! They did not use our personal names, and because we only accept cash/checks for payment the scam didn’t succeed. Also because most, if not all our customers follow the KNOW YOUR FARMER credo!
We will accept orders until 5pm on Friday. If you miss the deadline or prefer to shop in person, I bring a selection of what’s available every Saturday. I will plan to get totals emailed out by 9:30pm.  If you don’t get a response from me, please contact me. We accept cash or check payable to Pine Row Farm.

kale

beans, green and purple
cucumbers, slicing and pickling
summer squash
