Martin's Farmstand:  Strawberries


We will open the strawberry fields for u-pick tommorow at 2 PM. In comparsion to last week the picking is better than it was. There are a lot more ripe berries but they are kind of small. It still is very bad picking in comparsion to normal. The next picking after tommorow is Saturday, starting at 7AM. Next week the picking times will repeat with no picking Monday, and open on Wednesday at 2 and Saturday at 7.
There is a lot of small berries in all stages of green. I expect to be picking for at least two more weeks with next week being somewhat better than this week but not ever real good. Daniel

ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Reminder


Market closes tomorrow at noon!

It is a hot one today. As you read this reminder, you may be preparing for the bike ride or car commute home. You will climb into a metal box with super-heated air. The sultry air will be heavy as you inhale, and each exhalation will only drive up the humidity. The very molecules of air, seat and steering wheel will seem to melt and languidly droop into the floor mat below you. Next, the turbid air will compress around your collar, cuffs and ankles. How will you survive the journey home? How will you endure the furnace of the world?

What if you had a fresh cantaloupe waiting in the fridge? Or frozen blueberries or blackberries? Need a peach or nectarine to percolate and drizzle out the heat? How about a chopped watermelon drunk in its ice cold liquid? What if you had Kombucha fizzing and cracking like a glacier or a glass of ice ginger green tea to help relinquish the flames? Can you feel the coolness as it relaxes your throat?

Kick off your shoes and order some respite.

Coolly Yours,

Kyle Holton

Champaign, OH:  A Day In The Life


This week’s spotlight is on our newest market vendor, Sarah, of Stillhaven Gardens!

Sarah joined our little local market of love, back in the winter, and we are excited to have her and her products!

She is not alone in her first market venture…she is always accompanied by her two cute sons when she delivers! They are helping, learning, and enjoying this experience!

So, we say welcome to Sarah…

I’m two weeks new to the market and already having a great time. Thanks so much to those who have already placed orders with Stillhaven Gardens! Every year I like to grow several new items, and the garden is always full of weird and wonderful edibles. You won’t find them all in my listing, but don’t be surprised if you discover a little something extra tucked into your order from time to time. This week the lettuce orders got a few edible borage flowers in their bags. Gardening and eating should be an adventure and I look forward to sharing it with you!

Thanks,
Sarah

Champaign, OH:  You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello...


Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye
I say hello
(Beatles – Hello Goodbye)

So, just last week, we said a sad goodbye to Steven of The Berry Patch! Strawberry season was way too short but we loved what he brought, and we were thankful for the season!

This week, just when we sadly thought of a week of no berries, I got a call from Cathy Pullins telling me to add her red raspberries to the market!! Yes, Champaign Berry is back with us with their fresh berries!!

Again…seasonal, local, amazing!

Get your orders in, quickly!!

Just as we said, goodbye, we gladly say, hello, to the next berry!!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
