Old99Farm Market: Old 99 farm week of Jan 10 2016
Come and get your eggs, meats, root vegetables. We’re open. Eggs on special 3doz for price of 2, that works out to $4.50/doz.
There is a growing interest in getting ready for climate upset happening in Hamilton. We won’t see fire storms or hurricanes, but we might see floods, and we’ll certainly experience the results of climate upsets elsewhere. Think: california drought, florida freezeups, etc affecting price of food. The coalition that coming together is Hamilton 350; focused on enhancing the local capacity to cope with climate change and reduce its causes. The next meeting is on Wed Jan 27, 630pm at 294 James St North (parking available). Come on out and see whether this is for you!

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Reminder
Good Morning ALFN Members,

Waste Revolution: Thinking in Circles
There is a great opportunity to meditate about modern waste this March 12th. The annual Keep Little Rock Beautiful event will take place in the morning until noon. You can either organize your own neighborhood area to clean, or volunteer to help clean the Fourche Creek Area. Check out their website…you may even see a picture of one of our growers on the front page:)
Picking up trash is necessary, but I’m also interested in thinking deeper into our own waste system. Our current economy extracts natural resources and then transforms them into products (usually with the addition of chemicals) and then eventually streams these same resources into permanent dumps. I have a good visualization of this problem. Take the Christmas tree. I’m sure you’ve seen them on the roadside lately. No problem here. The city can pick them up, mulch them and cycle them back into the soil. However, I’ve seen a more Americanization of this lately. I’ve observed a number of Christmas trees with the lights still on the tree. Our linear economy does this to many natural products. Natural resources are processed with various non-biodegradable substances that render these products toxic and true waste. So much of our waste is based on efficiency instead of resilience and regeneration.
What’s the tagline here? Think in loops. Consider how all your economic actions can be regenerated back into systems based on transforming the dormant energy in waste back into the top of our food and production infrastructure. The hard part to all of this means we are bucking a system based on efficiency. It may slow us down a bit. But hey, we are part of a slow food movement, right? Slow it down and think about waste streams…and take lights of Christmas trees:)
Wastefully yours,
Kyle Holton

Heirloom Living Market Lilburn: Countdown to Close...
The Market closes Monday at 8:00pm!
Please remember that minimums must be met for each Market to ensure delivery by our Farmers! At the present time we are a little more than 3/4 of the way to minimum! Be sure and get your order in and thank you for supporting our LOCAL Farmers!
…this and that…
Pork Ribs are on Special this week! Since it might be a tad chilly to grill, try seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic and caraway seed, place in crockpot, add sauerkraut on top! Served with mashed potatoes and a salad this makes a delicious ‘winter’ dinner!
I have had several calls about Bacon… and I would like to clarify a couple of things. It is important to read the descriptions that the Farmers take time to write and post for each product. The Bacon was listed as 3/4lb weight at the cost of $10.00. In the past, Bacon has generally been offered in 1lb packages and was priced at $12.00. Some of us were surprised to receive 3/4lb packages and a thicker cut Bacon than what Greg generally offers. The difference is in the processor that was used for the last group of piggies. I have been in contact with Greg and descriptions in future postings will specify the ‘cut’ (thick or thin) of the Bacon…as for the weight…READ, READ, READ!
