Sweetwater Friday Update News for Saturday August 27th Farmers Market


Sweetwater Local Foods Market

Friday Update Newsletter
All I can say about this Saturday is that if you care about organic in any way shape or form you won’t miss this market! Just in terms of the precious organic fruit we’ve all been missing, we’ll have peaches, apples and watermelons available (and raspberries & elderberries if you get to market early)!

If you went on the Organic Bus Tour back some years ago you will remember touring Crow Feather Farm. They are now Crow’s Nest Ltd & Carolyn is back Saturday with some beautiful garlic for sale!

Liberty Farm made a late decision to return Saturday, so please take a look at their list and put in a preorder by Friday evening. They will have items for walk ups but best choice is a preorder.

As for the peaches, Sam reports she will also have a limited amount of half bushels for $50 and will also have peaches for walk up sales Saturday! See her listing if you want to reserve some. These are from Greg Mund’s farm, were certified organic and he took great pride in them.

Again, please consider preordering meats from the four farms with frozen meats this week: Pine Row Farm, The Pasturage, Scholl Farm & Liberty Farm. They only have so much space for freezers, coolers, etc and can’t bring everything…so order up, please!?

Thanks again, and hope to see you all at the Market!

Wowieeeeee, peaches are the popular item this week!! I picked Thursday evening, and they are abundant as ever and sweet as can be! I have all current orders fulfilled (I haven’t gotten confirmation emails sent out yet, so no worries if you’ve placed an order and have not received a response!)

As a reminder, these peaches are from Greg Mund’s farm, and all profits will be donated to WMEAC in his honor. They are organic, chemical free peaches. They are looking spectacular, but do have some marks/insect damage here and there due to their organic nature!

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello :-),
We’ve had a very interesting and busy summer. Thursday evening Fancey (our Jersey cow) came into the barn without being called or coaxed, and was moving at a faster pace than is typical. I went to see her, and hearing loud insects, headed for the swatter, thinking I would get revenge on the horse fly that nailed me on the back the night before. The insects didn’t behave like horse flies, so after taking out 3 of them, I stopped to inspect them. They were bald faced hornets! Now, I welcome most anything that helps with fly population control, but since I haven’t located where they intend to construct their home, I’m quite uneasy with their presence!
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.

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, lettuce, mini cabbage, green peppers, summer squash, zucchini, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, parsley, sweet onions, and fresh garlic. Again, each bag will cost $15.
To order your Blackbird Farms Veggie Bag, please email us at hello.blackbirdfarms@gmail.com by noon on Thursday. We will then send you an invoice via Square. Payment can also be made via cash or check (payable to Blackbird Farms).
We also plan to have many items for walk-up sales—watch for more information in Friday’s newsletter.

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.
To order your Blackbird Farms Veggie Bag, please email us at hello.blackbirdfarms@gmail.com by noon on Thursday. We will then send you an invoice via Square. Payment can also be made via cash or check (payable to Blackbird Farms).
We also plan to have many items for walk-up sales—watch for more information in Friday’s newsletter.
Thanks so much! We’re looking forward to seeing friends old and new this Saturday!
