New Field Farm's Online Market:  Ginger and Turmeric


Greetings,

For several years we’ve gotten beautiful FRESH GINGER from Old Friends Farm down in Amherst, Ma. They also have fresh TURMERIC.

ORDERS WOULD BE PLACED THIS WEEK FOR PICK-UP NEXT WEEK, FRIDAY OCTOBER 23.

PLACE YOUR ORDER IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF YOUR REGULAR ORDER – OR – IF YOU’RE NOT DOING A REGULAR ORDER THEN EMAIL ME YOUR ORDER.

We offer both in 1 lb. or 1/2 lb. amounts. GINGER IS $12/LB or $6/ 1/2 lb.

TURMERIC IS $16/lb or $8/ 1/2 lb.

BOTH FREEZE VERY WELL AND KEEP THAT WAY A LONG TIME.

For some info about fresh ginger go to
http://www.oldfriendsfarm.com/about-our-ginger.html

We’ll be harvesting some nice lettuce and arugula from the hoop house this week.

Chard, bok choy, and spinach are also still doing well.

Garlic is winding down, with mostly just small bulbs left. The snow didn’t melt from the field where the plants were until the third week of April so the bulbs never sized up the way they usually do.

Enjoy this beautiful time of year and thank you for your orders.

Champaign, OH:  About Last Saturday...


This past Saturday found us, on the road, out to Fletcher, to the farm tour and sorghum making event at, End Of The Road Farms!

It’s always a great time at one of their tours, fun to visit with the family, fun to see just how very, very, very hard that little family really works.

We got see Lee, and Tony, the horse, show us how they make the sorghum that is listed at this market. We got to see their fields, tunnels for growing, barns, pigs, and their chickens. It felt like a mini little get-away, once you begin the drive down their lane.

Jennifer had baked goods, and sorghum friend apples for sampling.

We also got to chat with them about their ongoing help with the soon to be Miami County virtual market!!! Exciting stuff!!! Our market managers have been helping them, and the powers of Miami County, with information, tips, advice, how we run, who we are, our triumphs, and our learning experiences. We wish them well with this new market!!

A huge thank you to the Ruff family for inviting us out to their farm, once again!

And, just a note…our market loves conducting farm tours. We encourage the vendors to open up their farms, their businesses, just so you, the customers, can see where your local food is coming from!! We love you, we love our vendors, and we love being part of this little local fabric.

Remember…it is Tuesday. The market will close, this evening, at 10pm! Get your orders in!!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
