We’re trying something new on the online market! Starting this week (should be up and running by tomorrow), be sure to click the “Auction Items” button (it’s the first option under “Categories” on the market page). We’ll be auctioning off an item handcrafted by one of our market artisans each month! You can find more details on the item listing. All proceeds will go towards funding the Independence Farmers Market.
Upcoming Events:
This Friday, June 2nd, is the Rooted in Appalachia Roadshow. The Rooted in Appalachia Roadshow is free and open to the public and will feature food tasting by Sharon Rice of the Virginia extension service, give aways, educational materials and a chance to register to win a gas grill at the end of the show season, complements of ASD and Lowes Home Improvement. .
Created to build a vibrant local food culture by deepening the connections between local farmers, consumers, restaurants and retailers; Rooted in Appalachia Roadshows are traveling to 21 farmers markets across the region.

The First Friday Film Series, hosted by Grayson LandCare & The Church of the Good Shepherd brings documentary films to the public, complete with popcorn and panel discussions afterwards.

With poignancy and unexpected humor, A Will for the Woods portrays the last days of a multifaceted advocate – and one community’s role in the genesis of a revolutionary movement. As the film follows Clark’s dream of leaving a legacy in harmony with timeless cycles, environmentalism takes on a profound intimacy.

The Center for Diversity and Common Ground will be holding a large yard sale this Saturday, June 3rd at 101 E. Stuart Drive in Galax. The yard sale will run from 7:30 am- until. All proceeds will go to The Center for Diversity and Common Ground.

New Field Farm's Online Market: Ignore Eggplant price in email
Hi again,
Speaking of dusting things off, my brain appears to need it, too. Please ignore the description and price for the eggplant given in the email. The website now has the correct info.

New Field Farm's Online Market: Basil and a few eggplant
Greetings,
We still haven’t officially started the season as we wait for dry, warm weather to bring on the early greens.
But meanwhile, we continue to have some very nice basil in the greenhouse.
We also have 16 eggplants from the greenhouse, another experiment like the early basil. They’re small – between 1/2 and 1 pound – and mild and tender.
The market on the website is up and running so if you’re interested in either of these items you can order online.
PLEASE ORDER BY 8:00 THURSDAY EVENING. (Ordinarily, the weekly email will be sent out on Tuesdays.)
*PICK UP WILL BE THIS FRIDAY 5:00 – 8:00 AT UNION MILL AND 4:30 – 7:00 HERE AT THE FARM.
It’s not much to offer, but at least we can dust off the ordering system and make sure it’s functioning.
Thanks,
Tim
Old99Farm Market: Old 99 farm, week of May 28 2017
Ever heard of the ‘marshmellow experiment’ and Walter Mischel? He’s famous for his insights about how humans learn delayed gratification. see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b3SWsjWzdA&t=15s for one of many youtube videos. Very relevant to current public policy direction around abrupt climate disruption.
Lots of greens and eggs, meats and yes fresh pork, I’m getting the meat back from the butcher today wednesday. If you ordered a side, you can pick up friday. Beef will be here next week.
I’ll be cutting hay as soon as next week and would very much like help moving it to the barn. Any volunteers for a couple hours?
The Milk Injunction case is in court in Newmarket now. I went on Monday. You can read a description of events here. Decision not handed down yet.
Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami
