New Field Farm's Online Market:  BULK ORDER NEXT WEEK

Greetings,

Next week, NOVEMBER 3, will be the annual bulk order when carrots, onions, and potatoes are discounted when you order 10 pounds or more. These three crops can all be stored for many months with a little care. Details will be included next week.

Certain other crops may be discounted as well, depending on availability.

Meanwhile, for this week, we have some salad mix again, and a few cauliflower that survived the ravaging porcupines, as well as a few other items.

This much needed rain may bring on more broccoli and another frost should give more flavor to the brussels sprouts so we may have those next week as well.

The last of the garlic was used for planting. Hopefully, next year we’ll have a better crop.

If you have any questions or comments let me know.

Thanks,
Tim

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Oct 21 2017

We had wonderful weather and a great turnout the cider-making day last saturday. I met lots of daughters Kelly and Kendra’s friends from Toronto. We made biochar for soil amendments from cleaned up tree prunings.

All the same good choices this week for vegetables and meats. The Liberty apples are stored in the rootcellar, but won’t likely last as well this year due to the warm weather. We have carrots, beets and lettuce, to add to the squash, tomatoes (including Beefsteak), garlic, cilantro, parsley, watermelon, chives, Russet potatoes, onions, kale, spinach and arugula. Fresh beef quarters available in two weeks, order your roasting chickens for December.

Reminder: Abrupt Climate Change talks coming up. Save a seat at eventbrite.ca
Friday Nov 3, 7pm, West Flamborough Presbyterian Church, 262 Middletown Rd, at Hwy 8.
McPherson is a professor emeritus and conservation biologist from U Arizona who early on collected peer reviewed data about causes, trends and consequences of human caused climate upset. He is controversial because he has named the ‘elephants in the room’, and challenged the politically correct optimism of most reporters and professional caution of most scientists.
McPherson unpacks why the unfounded optimism about the near term consequences of abrupt climate change is so dangerous. See how he arrives at a calculation of human extinction within a decade, certainly in this century.
Other scientists who look at the whole picture like Kevin Anderson, Thomas Goreau, James Hansen and Michael Mann have concluded that it may not be too late. They think there’s an outside chance that humans may possess the collective will and presence of mind to do what must be done, and to do it quickly, even if it means radically altering, even abolishing, industrial in favor of ecological civilisation. Is it likely humans will undertake the exhaustive efforts necessary to ensure our species will survive for another 1,000 years on Earth?

Be fully informed about climate change because only that way, with growing awareness, will the governments take action to reverse global warming due to carbon pollution. Are we too late? Maybe. Should we start trying to make a difference and do whatever it takes? Yes!

You can also hear Dr McPherson speak at McMaster to learn the facts about abrupt climate change and decide for yourself. Q&A open mike.

Stones River Market:  Good evening!

Market News

I don’t normally send more than one email per week.

Since I have heard from folks, in the past, who forget to order as the week gets underway. This is a reminder that you have until 10 pm tonight! Lots of variety, still have plenty of apples and pumpkins.

I included this week’s original email for anyone who missed it!

Now that the Saturday Market on the Square has wrapped up for the season, could you do us a favor and spread the word that they can still purchase local and wonderful products from their own community throughout the year? Share it on Facebook, word of mouth, need some flyers? Let us know! We want to reach friends and neighbors who are searching for something like Stones River but haven’t found us yet.

Now,

WELCOME to Urban Sprout !!

“Hello Stones River Market! We are happy to start supplying the market with delicious microgreens. We sell sunflower, pea, and radish microgreens in small ($3) and large ($10) sizes. try our microgreens in your meal to add a boost of flavor and nutrition!”

Find these under the Micro-greens and sprouts tab.

Flying S Farms has added a Maypop (passionfruit) jelly. Maypop has a wonderful ‘floral’ scent jelly and mild taste similar to apple.

Erdmann Farm has lots of Field pumpkins for your carving and seed roasting pleasure! Get yours from a trusted, local grower! He also has roasting pumpkins! If you love pumpkin pie, roasting your own takes that from-scratch recipe up a couple notches!
