NEWS AND NOTES
Paccman Ranch has once again listed their 2 pound package of ground beef. Get yours before they run out!
From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
With somewhat lower temperatures and lots of rain, now is a great time to get a jump on your spring gardening with perennial and herb plants and ferns. Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has a great Fall Special: buy 3 perennial or herb plants or ferns (mix-and-match), and get one of equal or lesser value at no charge.
We still have lots and lots of summer vegetables on the market. This week we have zucchini, tomatoes, summer squash, red potatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce, and cucumbers. Local milk and eggs; pork and chicken cuts; and more are available here! Three types of dried herbs and eight of fresh are also available to flavor those dishes! We have lots of homemade herbal products too.

Old99Farm Market: old 99 farm. week of Aug 30, 2015
Are plants intelligent? So asks Albert Bates, currently in Iceland teaching a permaculture course.
“Plants communicate — they are actually quite loquacious communicators. They are able to distinguish kin and non-kin. They communicate with plants of their own and other species and they communicate with animals and humans.
We are here in Iceland teaching a permaculture course with Robyn Francis and she likes to say plants are just upside-down humans. We have our senses up at the top — in our mouths, noses, ears and fingertips. Plants keep those mostly down in their roots but they also smell and taste and touch like we do. We keep our sex organs hidden down in our bottoms, but plants put them up on full display at the top.
But can a plant be intelligent? Some plant scientists, like Stefano Mancuso, think they are — since they can discover, learn, remember, and even react in ways we would call intelligent."

Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
This is the last week for the Caldwell County Farmers Market. I can hardly believe it has been 10 weeks. We have been asking our customers to fill out a survey of their experiences at the market to include things we have done right, and ways we can improve for next year. Our board will be getting together in the next month discussing these surveys and how our next years market will improve. We already know that we will be extending the start and end times. Beginning earlier next year and ending a bit later. I would love for everyone to stop by Thursday and fill out one of these surveys and share with us your vision for the traditional market. In addition, we will have all of our Non-profits that have been with us during the year coming out once again. I really appreciate the way Princeton has come out to support this traditional market. I am always amazed at the participation and love ya’ll show for your community.
See you on Friday,
Angela
