Martin's Farmstand: strawberries
I walked the strawberry fields just now. There are only a few berries ready and big areas with nothing ripe. However, I do see a a lot of little berries that appear to be sizing nicely. These are 10 days -2 weeks off yet though and are from the later opening flowers. I am hopeful that they may amount to something.
We will open for u-pick tommorrow morning at 7 am. Do not expect to get more than a few quarts for fresh eating. What should be ready now was mostly lost due to the frost. The picking will remain bad through next week. We will not open for u-pick Monday. The next picking is Wednesday, June 24 at 2 pm. Daniel
DeForest, WI: Farm Stand has STRAWBERRIES!
*Farmer Rich brought over some more strawberries, and the crew at Forest Run found broccoli, snap and snow peas today. Forest Run is also offering their plants 2 for the price of one the more you buy, the better it gets.
Please plan to get to the farm stand so we can close up at 6!
Hope to see ya!

Joyful Noise Acres Farm: MILK ONLY
This week the market is open for milk orders only and only until Saturday evening so please order after you finish reading this.
The milk is to be picked up at the Cherokee Market, located at 11611 Cumming Hwy., Canton, GA. Their number is 678-341-8032. The hours are 9-7 daily.The milk will be in the white coolers when you come in the door from the back of the store where the deck is. Parking is behind the store so it will be easy to come in and out. Leave your empty jars stocked beside the coolers. Please bring them in a box or bag, not loose. Leave them in the box or bag for pick-up. Although I do hope you will bless Lisa with your business, do not pay Cherokee Market for your milk. You will pay for it the following week at our regular market.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Blessings,
Mary Beth

Champaign, OH: Bring It On Home To Me
Oh, oh, bring it to me…
Bring your sweet loving…
Bring it on home to me…
(Bring It On Home To Me-Sam Cooke)
This song takes me back to carefree, fun filled, classic songs kind of times. When I lived in Los Angeles, a million years ago, my group used to frequent little haunts of clubs out along the beach and roads of Malibu. We loved the little out of the way, long forgotten, old clubs. We could sit with bottles of wine, a round of food, and soulful tunes.
Back then, your market manager was usually broke, living life as a flight attendant, happy to have made networking friendships with club/restaurant owners. I could eat and drink for free, frequent the old, classic places, steep myself in the culture of a by gone time, and feed my soul.
Just like what this little market of love tries to do. We try to build that friendship. That bond. That soul binding relationship between producers, customers, community. We provide an umbrella of shelter, a local outlet of goodness, and a whole lot of love that brings it all home. Bringing you the best of the best in local, bringing you the trust, the nutrition, the friendship.
I open the market, tonight, after yet another AMAZING market pick up!!! We rock and rolled the produce, the greens, the seasonal berries, the goodbye to asparagus, the herbs, locally produced meat, fresh water fish, breads, dairy, cheeses…We have it all. We love it all. Go ahead…bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin’, bring it on home…bring us your orders so we can bring it on home to you!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
