Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Apr10 2016


Check this documentary, The Cross of the Moment, just out on vimeo, about the absolute uniqueness of Earth, from atmosphere to gravity to tides to sex. It is "A deep-green/deep-time, highly cerebral discussion of the environmental crisis, The Cross of the Moment attempts to connect the dots between Fermi’s Paradox, climate change, capitalism, and collapse. Interviews with top scientists and public intellectuals are woven together into a narrative that is challenging, exhausting, and often depressing as it refuses to accept the easy answers posited by other overly-simplistic climate change documentaries.

The film takes its title from a stanza of W. H. Auden’s poem The Age of Anxiety, published in 1947.
We would rather be ruined than changed;
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.

And for grounds for optimism about replacing fossil energy see LowTech website, lots of carefully researched profiles of past energy sources, this link is actually about growing mediterranean fruit in Paris, and keeping the Prussian invaders out too!

We have greens. lots. Mixed greens, collard greens, kale, spinach and chard.
Also, cilantro, leek, green onion and chickweed (just kidding).

Eggs and meats are in good supply.
Stuffed peppers, quiche, or say what would you like Cami to cook for you?

Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami

Tullahoma Locally Grown:  April 11 - Let's Talk Turkey


Good morning.

It is early April and time to start thinking about where you will get your Thanksgiving Turkey this year. For the past couple of years, several of you have enjoyed the fresh, never frozen turkeys from Fountain Springs Farm. This year, they are offering 45 turkeys. Because there is a finite number of turkeys available, a $20 deposit is required. You will find “Turkey Deposit” listed in the Meat/Turkey category. The early planner gets the turkey and a receipt for the deposit!

The weights will be between 14-22 lbs. When you place your order, indicate your desired weight. In November, you will receive a turkey close to the weight you requested and pay the balance based on $3.75 per pound. This is a whole turkey with gibblets. Do not worry, we will send reminders closer to November so you do not buy a frozen turkey.

YOUR MARKET IS CURRENTLY OPEN.
Now is a great time to order meat for your weekend cookouts and other items you need for the week. You can order bread, eggs, milk, vegetables, herbs, meat, freshly roasted coffee, and more. Consider a made-to-order loaf of English Breakfast Toasting Bread or a half-dozen Jumbo Pretzel Rolls. Both of these breads are made from scratch on market day.

Your local market closes at noon on Wednesday Order now before your favorite items run out.

Here is the link to the market: Tullahoma Locally Grown Market

Thank you for your support. Have a great day,
