Market,Market for April 20


Hi Friends,

The title refers to the fact that the official 2016 opening of the Calhoun County Farmer’s Market happens this Wednesday! We will be at the Upper West Fork Park from 9 AM to 1 PM, so come and see us all if you can. All of the vendors are gearing up for another great season and Loretta will again be serving a great list of options for breakfast and lunch. It looks like we will have a couple of new vendors this year and that is always good so we can bring you more variety. We have a bushel of ramps that we will be taking to the market and whatever we don’t sell will be available to our online customers, so if you want some we will be happy to provide them to you when you pick up your orders Wednesday afternoon.

Our grain mill is back together so we will be accepting bread orders this week.

Our online market will remain open throughout the season for those of you that can’t make it to the park.

Blessings,
Bob, Lynnita and Jordyn

Fro Wednesday, 4/13


Hi Friends,

Temperatures last night gave us quite a worry, but the field grown cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli survived the 20* night with a little help from a frost-cloth covering and a lot of prayer. Still, without much decent growing weather, things are proceeding slowly. The kale and lettuce are in our high-tunnels and are doing very well.

Our grain mill decided to spontaneously disassemble itself a few days ago and I will be waiting for parts until after Wedneday’s market, so I regret that we cannot offer the Multi-grain Bread this week.

Thanks to all of you that ordered last week! We had a nice start to the season.

Blessings,
Bob

Are you ready? We are!


Hi Friends,

We did our best to get an early jump on things and I am pleased to say that we are ready to start meeting your cravings for some fresh, green goodness! Offerings are a bit limited this week but we will be adding to our line of products as the weather and growing season allows. Please remember to get your orders in by 9 AM on Tuesday, particularly if you are wanting baked goods. It might be a good idea for you to re-read the Q’s and A’s page from the tab at the top of the page to refresh your memory of our guidelines.

We will also be returning to the Calhoun County Farmer’s Market at the Upper West Fork Park in Chloe starting on Wednesday, April 20. The hours there are 9 to 1. Hope to see you soon.

Blessings,
Bob, Lynnita and Jordyn

Jaunuary 6 availability


Happy New Year!

Our offerings for this Wednesday’s pickup is a little slim, but we still have great quality on all of the items listed.

We will be shutting the market for two weeks (January 13th and 20th) and resuming again on the 27th after I return from a visit with my family.

Please submit your orders before 9 AM on Tuesday, and pay attention to the available quantities on the storefront when you place your orders. If, for example, we have 6 lbs. of beets listed there, it will not be feasible for you to order 8. The amount of product listed where you order is updated in real-time as orders come in.

Blessings,
Bob

Happy New Year!


Hi friends,

As we bring 2015 to a close I want to thank all of you for your support of our farm and market. When we started this effort 5 years ago our desire was to bring fresh, wholesome food to this community in the belief that healthy food leads to healthy bodies that leads to healthy minds that leads to a healthy community that leads to a healthy society. Thank you for doing your part in helping us work toward that goal.

Our offerings are getting fewer, but we still have some good stuff for you this week. Blessings to you all for a Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

The big week is upon us and we have some wonderful items to add to your special meal. Our Cauliflower this season is amazing, the best I have seen in years. Literally, the variety we planted is from Harris Organic Seeds and the name of the variety is, well, Amazing! Our Romaine and Red Leaf lettuce is also prime right now and we begin harvest this week of our new Olympic Red Kale. Check out the store and please get your orders to us by Tuesday morning at 9 AM.
