CSA Farmers Market:  Growing Season Update July 23 and Recipee

Almar Orchards is harvesting some lovely Lodi summer apples. Lodi apples, like many summer varieties have a somewhat short storage life, only about a week in the refrigerator. They are great for making fruit leather, chopped for salads, and for making apple sauce! On the apple scale (1-10):Crispiness: 3 Tartness : 9 Apple Flavor: 6 Sweetness: 4 Juiciness: 8

Strong winds (gusting to 50 mph) blew a large limb down on our 4-wheeler and as we surveyed other damage we found that they knocked the onion plants over so we will be harvesting those and putting them on the market a little earlier than normal, once the onion plants get knocked down they do not grow larger. The walla wallas were getting to be a good size and we were going to be harvesting anyways, now you can look forward to a lot of tasty sweet onions.

(White Pine Farm) Organic Certification inspector came by and was impressed with our farming operation- as well as the CSA Farmers Market operation. White Pine Farm is also serves as home base for CSA Farmers Market. Without Dales and my (Marian) tireless work the CSA Farmers Market would not exist. The other farmers do help out quite a bit, but for now, the bulk of the work rests on our shoulders.

Until Next Time

New Field Farm's Online Market:  what's new

Greetings,

We’re adding red potatoes and a few eggplant and greenhouse tomatoes this week. Like the peppers, the eggplant and tomatoes are slow to come along. Hopefully next month they’ll hit their stride.

The blueberry picking is excellent right now. U-pick is Wed.to Sun. 8 to 5. It’s best to bring your own containers, but we do have quart boxes if you don’t.

If possible, please order by Wednesday night if you want blueberries as well as veggies to give us time to pick the berries on Thursday. But if you don’t get the chance to order them until Thursday that’s okay, too.

After a long break it looks like we’ll be dusting off the irrigation system this week. Hopefully, the dry weather will also enable us to make some progress on the weeds.

We’re still busy planting lettuce and fall crops like kale, as well as the last planting of squash and cucumbers.

The garlic harvest should take place in the next week or two, with the first onions coming in not long after that.

Thank you for your orders.

New Market Manager!

I wanted to let you know that effective Tuesday, August 4th, you will_have a new Market Manager, Iris Potter!
Iris worked the Market for a few weeks between Debbie and my transition. She is a wealth of knowledge and a bubbly, smiling face! She has worked with Athens Locally Grown and will be a wonderful asset to the Market! She will be at Market next Tuesday so please welcome her when you see her!

I may still see you from time to time while teaching workshops or doing doTERRA events on the farm. I want to say though, what a pleasure it has been to serve each and every one of you over the last year! Thank you for supporting us and being such wonderful customers!

Salmon Update!

What’s up with the Salmon?
The salmon are running and Bill from Back in Time Farm will be supplying Alaskan Wild Caught salmon through his son, Running Wild Alaskan Seafood, LLC. He has left for Homer, Alaska and will be back with salmon and have it posted for the Market opening on Thursday, August 6th. It will be open to order then but we will be notifying and watching for those who were on the list to make sure their orders are handled first. You may continue to order after the first week until the supply runs out. I’m being told that there may be a chance for a second catch to be added but not guaranteed yet. So if you are wanting salmon, I recommend purchasing while you have the chance.
This deliciously fresh salmon is carefully selected directly from the fishermen’s nets from the cold Alaskan waters before it ever enters the ship’s hold. Only the best is chosen to become part of " Running Wild Alaskan Seafood’s" premium offerings. The fish is immediately bled and iced down before making the short boat ride to the processor located in Homer, Alaska. Here it is quickly processed and flash frozen (to ensure freshness) then packed into coolers for the overnight trip to Georgia. This is the freshest salmon available without going to Alaska to catch it yourself. Red Sockeye salmon is packed with flavor and nutrition.
We are within a week or so of having this salmon at our very own market! The packages will be in a couple different ounce packages and range in prices based on $19.00 a pound.
