ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Reminder


Good Morning ALFN Members,

Remember to finalize your orders on the market before Wednesday at noon.

Announcements

I just received word that Grass Roots Cooperative will not be delivering this weekend. Consequently, if you have already made an order from them, Grass Roots will pull the item from your final invoice. You may want to take this opportunity to find other options in our meat section.

We still have some wonderful items in the market including mixed greens, fruits, green eggs and ham, and…did I see carrots?

I hope everyone has a relaxing Thanksgiving with friends and family surrounded by good food.

Sincerely,

Kyle Holton
Program & Market Manager

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Nov 22 2015


The cherry tomatoes are holding on in spite of the cold weather. Larger tomatoes are done for this year. Still have peppers and eggplants tho. We have lots of greens and root crops, apples and pastured meats.

Lots of eggs, and a small price increase in case you didn’t notice last week; 2c per egg. We get rave reviews on the flavour of these eggs, probably because of the organic grain they are fed. Maybe because they are happy chickens? doyathink? I encourage you to step up with us and keep the eggs moving off the farm onto your plates…

Here is a link about biochar and the real problem we are already enmeshed in: too much carbon in the air, not enough in the ground: enter biochar to the solution set. Says Albert Banes, “human civilization is already in massive “overshoot” of CO2 emissions to the tune of some 1380 GtCO2 added to the atmosphere after we passed the critical point at around 330 ppm where we guaranteed eventual warming of 2 degrees. This carbon debt is currently increasing at a rate of about 40 GtCO2 per year pushing us further into climate debt and higher up the thermometer. The UN targets for Paris propose an emissions allowance of a further 950 GtCO2 by the end of the century (about 1 trillion tons), which could push temperatures to 5 degrees by then, and much higher later when equilibrium is reached.”

Conyers Locally Grown:  Closed for Thanksgiving and turkey pick up.


Hello, I hope this finds you all doing well. This is just a friendly reminder that we are close for the Thanksgiving holiday. We will back in action next week.

On the turkey front, the plucker went down Saturday and we were not able to process yesterday. We had changed the schedule to this morning. When I woke up I was greeted with the joy of a sick child and a newly scheduled dr visit. Needless to say the birds are still walking.
My buddy Daniel is going to try and do the dirty deed today. I will let y’all know when they are ready for pick up. Hopefully tomorrow if not Wednesday at Copy Central.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you all,
Brady
