Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of June 7 2015

First thank you kindly to all who replied to our request for haying help and to those who came. We got over 5000lb of hay baled and in the barn between 11 and 3pm. It did indeed rain overnite, about 30ml. And more today. btw, that’s enough hay to feed one cow for a year, assuming 200 days.

Sunday we tasted the first fruit from the strawberry patch! the first is always the best, reawakens taste buds from the year before. I may have some picked for this thursday, won’t list them though.

Asparagus is still going strong, as is rhubarb, buttercrunch lettuce and mixed greens.

We planted more of the outside garden: tomatoes, basil, carrots, parsley root. We hilled all the potatoes, and weeded the squashes. It was a busy fun weekend.

Old 99 Strawberry Solstice is coming up on Sunday June 21. Family gathering in the afternoon, plan on coming with kids for couple hours, 2pm to 4pm. More details next week on potluck arrangements.

Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami

Champaign, OH: A Day In The Life

The next installment to our weekly series, A Day In The Life, finds us with Oakview Farm Meats! You know Mark as the assistant manager to this market, and he is also my assistant manager at the Mechanicsburg Farmers and Artisans Market. He is active in your local foods movement, and along with me, is part of the local foods council.

I met up with Mark as he entered the local farmer’s market circuit, four seasons ago. In season one, he promoted and sold the Oakview products, and became a vendor in this online market. In season two, he hit the scene in the now familiar green promotional trailer that is Oakview Farm Meats of the market and festival circuit.

We began cross promotions with Cosmic Charlie/Oakview Farm Meats/various vendors. We made famous a little sandwich called the Locally Sourced Oakview sandwich. He and his family have become a major part of this whole local foods scene. He has taught this West End girl many things about their business, about promotions, about hogs, about the breeding and raising of their hogs, and about planting, and crops.

His family is also heavily involved in the pork council, the Champaign County Fair, 4H, and various other organizations in the county. We, at the markets, appreciate Mark and his hard work in our markets.

And now…A Day In The Life…as captured by Mark’s mom, Ruth Runyan. The woman behind it all…enjoy the read…

There is no typical day in the life of Oakview Farm. Plans can be laid out but there are always changes made as needed. Oakview Farm, a local family farm which takes the cooperation of 7 family members is the basis for Oakview Farm Meats. Oakview Farm has evolved over many years through several generations. Mark and his sister, Melissa, who lives in Michigan are the 4th with Myer and Emmy the 5th generation of farmers. Each family member contributes their talents to further the Oakview ventures. Each season brings different activities: Spring – ground preparation and planting of oats, corn and soybeans, Summer – landscaping and mowing, irrigating corn and soybeans, harvesting wheat, oats and baling straw, along with Farmers Markets and Festivals with the Promotion Trailer, Fall – harvesting corn and soybeans and serving Agronomy Field Days with the trailer. Finally, Winter -machinery and building maintenance, catch-up in general. The one thing that is done during every season, every day includes is hog production. The hogs must be fed, waterers checked and pens kept clean by scraping and/or bedded. Hogs must be health checke d, treated, if sick and marked so they are not used for Oakview Meats. Hog feed must also be ground and mixed for 4 different age groups. As hogs grow they must be sorted into different groups, such as breeding gilts, boars, and market hogs. Biosecurity is a high priority at Oakview which means keeping the hogs healthy and comfortable. The hogs are in temperature controlled buildings – warm in winter and cool in summer with fans and sprinklers, secure from wild animals which often carry diseases. Along with the actual farming, there are also the Meat Shop open Tues. and Thurs, 2 – 6 pm and Sat. 10 am – 4 pm. with Bud in charge, Mechanicsburg Farmers and Artisians Market on Tues. 4:30 – 7 pm with Mark in charge, Springfield Farmers Market Sat. 9 am – 1 pm with Mark in charge and various Festivals. All family members help in various ways at various times as needed. It is definitely a local family adventure!

SPLG BENEFIT: Foodies Unite!

Our monthly potluck socials hold promise for more than “just” fostering friendships. Equally valuable, lots of health conscious foodies attend and share wonderful recipes you can easily make at home. Taste test serendipitous “trough” dishes; try different types of hummus like this smoky paprika hummus I like to add roasted red bell peppers, skinned and unseeded, and use less olive oil to keep end product consistency thick enough. There is likely to be a nice salad dressing available for the variety of salads that appear. Your can’t go wrong with this Paleo French Dressing. It is my new “go to!” dressing. So bring your own specialty to share with your fellow Market Members, most of whom are looking for new ways to dress up their current menus. If you are ready to learn more about what to do with the veggies and produce we sell on our Market, consider taking full advantage of your membership benefits at St. Pete Locally Grown. Attend the next potluck social on June 26th. Find your email invite from www.whoozin.com and do RSVP if you can.

IMPORTANT Volunteer Opportunities IMPORTANT

St. Pete Locally Grown is seeking a talented volunteer to help on Wednesday afternoon for about 90 minutes of administrative help.

SUMMERTIME RESOURCES
It is that time of year when change in seasons causes veggie resources to fluctuate due to the summer heat. We are in hot pursuit of new resources but until we can locate them or they even come into an existence, we will sustain our small local business using different strategies for providing great summer fare for our customers. As in the past years, we are doing our best to find the summer produce that is grown locally. If it exists then we are going to find it. If you know about sources then please get in touch and I will pursue it. We want to serve you year round. We are SO fortunate to have local growers like Brenon’s Homegrown, Ida’s Garden, and Faithful Farms to support us all summer long! Your patience and support are much needed, especially for these upcoming summer months. This is even more reason for you all to learn to grow your own food, even in the summer. Let Nathan teach you. Next Saturday 8AM come find out and get your seeds in the ground.

“GIVEAWAYS!”
So many of this weeks offerings can be grilled or wrapped in foil and baked on the grill, and I am selling some items at “very close to cost” to get them out the door! I have created a new category I call “Giveaways”. These items are priced way below local retailers so I’m practically giving them away. I’ve chosen to use this strategy rather than have spoiled produce that won’t keep until next Market. Most of the time I have a partner with a small business who shares the minimum order I am required to make from a local organic distributor. However, whenever I have to “go it alone” I will be posting “giveaways” for our customers. The benefits of your membership is getting these kinds of deals under these tricky circumstances. I invite you to recruit friends to get these great deals as well! It is a win-win for everyone with good healthy fresh produce at excellent pricing!

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
Our Market has high standards for what it sells. Despite that—as seasons transition—the challenges of evolving weather and pesky insects can take its toll on the crops. Market Growers are being very selective about what they are willing to present to you. No, it won’t always be picture perfect (which is part of its charm) and sometimes an insect is going to evade capture! But we won’t send you anything that we wouldn’t eat ourselves. If for any reason we have goofed and you are dissatisfied, please report it to me right away so we can rectify the situation. That’s how we get better and we all benefit from that. Your satisfaction is key to our success as a resource for St. Petersburgs’ lovers of chemical-free, organically & locally grown vegetables.

SPLG’s fruit basket
Ruby pink grapefruit, Fuji apples, Haas avocados, Medjool dates, Cantaloupes, Gold Pineapples, and papayas.

WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST CUSTOMERS
Once you have submitted your order, if in doubt about what you owe, you can always confirm what you have been charged for by checking your account history and viewing your most current invoice. Instructions on how to do that are on our Q&A page under the question entitled Since you don’t provide an invoice with delivery, how do I know what I owe? Also, since your vegetables are picked fresh within 24 hours of delivery, they should be lasting for WEEKS in your refrigerator. When you accept delivery, please take a few minutes to inspect your order to protect your vegetables from unnecessary spoilage. Lastly, it is imperative that you understand our policy on Unclaimed Orders found on our Q&A page. When you make a purchase you are agreeing to abide by this policy.

Lake Placid Online Farmer's Market: Last market before hiatus

Hey Everyone,

Hope you are well!

I just wanted to remind everyone, this June market is the last one before our two month hiatus (the farmers are super busy July and August, therefore we don’t have online markets then).

So if you need anything, now is the time to order! Let me know if you have any questions or want to add to your order at christiesausa@icloud.com.

Thanks!
Christie

Chicken is available THIS week! Greg raises Red Ranger Chickens.

Kathy Barnes of So-Koi, our resident Seamtress, Lilburn Market Coordinator and provider of some pantry items has added “Kool-Aids” to her offerings! These are neck scarves that you soak in cool water and place around your neck – there are special little beady-thingies that plump up and help keep you cool! Fabulous! And they work — just ask Sarah, Bethe or Maryanne who were lucky enough to get the first ones!

I have been using the Produce Bags and cannot believe how well it keeps my Greens and Veggies! These are a must for Greens!
