New Field Farm's Online Market: What's new and reminder
Greetings,
Please remember that orders should be in by Thursday night at 8:00. A little later is okay if you forget or are busy, but Friday mornings generally don’t work.
Also, please remember that there’s a minimum of six orders per season to be a member of this market. Most people have done that or more, but for those who haven’t please make the effort before the end of the regular season at the end of next month. If you have any questions about this please let me know.
We’re adding Kennebec potatoes, a white baking, mashing, and general use potato. For the first time in many years there is little or no scab which is great to see.
We’re also adding Copra onions, a yellow cooking onion. They’re still curing in the barn so it’s not time to buy in quantity for the winter, but they’ll last a long time all the same.
Spinach is another addition this week. I’m estimating how much is ready so if it’s sold out you can ask for some on your order and we’ll see what we can do.
Squash is iffy with the cool weather, but we should have enough cucumbers this week.
Golden beets are back. They’ll mostly be on the small side.
We should also have some beans again.
The second planting of broccoli has been eaten aggressively by deer the last week or so, despite some electric fencing. I’ve never seen them go after it this way, especially this time of the year. Signs of an early, cold winter?
Enjoy the full moon and thank you for your orders.

Champaign, OH: Mr. Blue Sky
Hey there Mr. Blue, we’re so pleased to be with you…
Look around see what you do…
Everybody smiles at you…
(Electric Light Orchestra – Mr. Blue Sky)
So, another totally amazing day!! I had the day free of any obligations or responsibility so I spent it, outside, giving some much needed love to my flower beds!! It was so nice to be in the breeze, the sunshine, the blue skies. Even weeding was pleasant. I flipped on the outside stereo and went about my day.
I did want to remind you that while I hope you have been able to take advantage of this lovely weather, I hope you have had time to place your market orders!! You have until 10pm, this evening, to get it all together!!
Placing your weekly order will make this sunshine day even brighter for you!!
Peace and Love,

ALFN Local Food Club: You can grow WHAT in Arkansas?
If you enjoyed viewing comet Jacques, you’ll definitely want to check out the rare cosmological event happening on The Market. Our very own ABC Nature Greenhouse & Herb Farm has successfully cultivated starfruit right here in Arkansas! With quick fingers, you could be the lucky eater of one of these botanical triumphs. While you’re at it, take a look at the variety of exotic plants available, such as: pink variegated, eureka, and ponderosa lemon trees; Italian honey, Texas red, and kadota fig trees; and even cardamom, curryleaf, and vanilla bean plants. Order up a few of these, and maybe the next zone defying victory will be yours.
After shopping, don’t forget to take this survey to help ALFN better suit your needs. It’s quick. It’s painless. Plus you’ll get the chance to win $15 in Food Club credit. Whether you’re new to Food Club, been with us from the beginning, or haven’t ordered in a while, we want to know what you think!
