Old99Farm Market:  old 99 farm, week of Apr 1st. 2017

More eggs this week, I may be onto the source of the problem. anyway they’re laying more.

I’ve posted several real exciting world futures links on my facebook page. I hope you go have a look at the videos of John D Lui, american cinematographer and journalist, or Gaviotas, the village in Columbia that was created on a wasteland and is now world famous for creating solutions to energy, jobs, ecological restoration.

In our garden we have same choice of greens as last week, and still lots of meats in the freezers. Taking orders for half pig, quarter beef, roasting hens, for next fall.

Starting up soon: Permaculture for newbies: A good-life design guide for Millennials, Boomers, and Generation X. Strategies, tools, and techniques to help you navigate the cardinal threats of climate instability, economic irrationality, the limits to growth, and political criminality. We’ll use ipermie!, an almanac of useful information and urban permaculture self-study guide. No cost for the study group: just a commitment to attend biweekly for 10 sessions. We’ll see where we go after that. First session week of April 15th.

Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami

The Wednesday Market:  IMPORTANT: We're Postponing The Wednesday Market Until Thursday

The Wednesday Market is being postponed until Thursday this week.

The National Weather Service is predicting extreme weather tomorrow, including a significant threat of tornadoes in our area. Tomorrow’s weather is supposed to be even worse than what we experienced on Monday.

We want all of our Wednesday Market customers, farmers, producers, vendors, and volunteers to weather the storms safely. That’s why we have made the decision to delay market pickup by one day.

Farmers, please make your deliveries on Thursday, at the same as you usually do on Wednesdays.

Customers, orders will be available for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. THURSDAY.

While we know this decision may inconvenience some of you, we feel it is best to be safe.

Thank you, and we’ll see everyone on Thursday.

Miami County Locally Grown:  The market is OPEN!!

As the market opens tonight, our thoughts and prayers are with Jeanne’s Kitchen… her husband was in a boating accident, and although he thankfully is now home from the hospital, he is still recovering.

We’ll miss Jeanne’s jams and baked goods temporarily, but hope for Tom’s speedy recovery and will look forward to their return :-)

And the market will take a one-week vacation next week for Easter, so get those orders in!!

We’ll have pick-up as normal next week on the 11th, but the market will NOT reopen that evening… we will open back up for orders on Tuesday the 18th!!
