Conyers Locally Grown:  Available for Friday July 18

I hope this finds you all doing well.
As I send this email I am watching 3 sows nurse their litters as another begging the labor process. It is kinda cool watching life on a farm evolve.

That brings me to the hog share issue. We currently have two 1/2 hog shares available for delivery and 3 1/4 shares. The pork is fantastic. The 1/2 share is ~ 80lbs of meat and the 1/4 share is ~ 40lbs. We will begin taking reservations in the next few weeks for our shares in October.

Now to the produce, we have lots available. The heirloom tomatoes look fantastic. We will also have some great sweet corn from Green Glades Dairy this week.

Than you for all your support. We will see you on Friday between 5-7 at Copy Central(1264 Parker road) in Conyers. Please remember to share us with a friend.

Thanks again,
Brady

Fresh Harvest, LLC:  Fresh Harvest for July13th

Market News

Hello!

We’ve got a bounty of summer produce for you! Now is a great week for you to think of preserving some of our offerings. Cucumbers for pickles, tomatoes for canning, basil for pesto in the freezer, cabbage for kimchi or sauerkraut. Are you thinking about winter yet? We farmers are! It is always amazing to be in the thick of summer and be needing to plan our crops for Fall and Winter. So these days, in addition to harvesting daily the tomatoes, squashes, cukes and green beans, we are seeding and transplanting the crops we’ll be harvesting for you come September and October.

This week we have local, organically grown berries for you! We will be offering blueberries from Blue Honey Farm in Eagleville, Tn. These are unsprayed, organically grown blueberries. You can read more about their farm on the “Our Grower’s” Page of the website, and contact them directly with any questions. We will continue to have their berries in the weeks ahead! We will also have a limited supply of blackberries from Natural Fields Farm in Gallatin. These berries are listed under the “fruits” section on the Market page offerings on the left side of the page.

Please remember you can read information about all of our growers and producers on the “Our Growers” page. We want you to know and love all of the Fresh Harvest vendors, just as we do. Most of them we have worked with for many years and we value their friendships as well as are proud to be able to offer you their products.

This week we will have the Peach Truck with us again. Lucky us! And the peaches are just getting better and better. And please remember to support our other wonderful vendors like Little Seed Farm soaps, Dozen Bakery Twin Forks farm bread and granola, Tru Bee honey, and cheeses from The Bloomy Rind.

Once again, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee

Coming Events

South Cumberland Farmer's Market:  Market Page Today

Someone e-mailed us that the Market page wasn’t “moving.” Yesterday we included in the blog to send a separate e-mail to cumberlandfm@gmail.com (not a Reply to another e-mail or an e-mail to all market managers through the software. We would have seen this sooner if we had received a separate e-mail. It was not signed, and we have no idea who sent it.

As to why the Market page isn’t moving: There is a lot of traffic on the servers over the weekend. For example, when you add an item to your cart when ordering, look for the “working” icon (spinning circle usually). We have found that at the market, especially, we have to frequently refresh our pages. Please try those solutions and get back to us by sending a separate e-mail to: cumberlandfm@gmail.com

Thanks!

Farm Where Life is Good:  Online Market is OPEN for Business (Week 29)

Well, I guess Rog’s lifting restrictions are off now!

Life on the Farm (Week 29)

We awoke to another distraction. I can either be overjoyed that I don’t have to go find the carrots seedlings in the weeds today, or I can be majorly disturbed by the fact that we have an 24+" diameter mature box elder tree down across our driveway. The downpour we received yesterday was the proverbial straw on the camel; the soil gave up the ghost on the big old tree’s rootball. Over she came. So the carrot-weed competition shall continue for another few days, and the pile of maple cooking firewood will grow immeasurably. (And I will be able to go to work tomorrow!)

Summer squash is in full flowering kick! We will have squash this week!

Ok, enough yammerin’; I need to get back to the tree and prevent Rog from undoing all of the nice surgeon’s work.

The Market is now open for your produce delights.

Ordering will be open from Sunday morning until Monday 8pm. Get your orders in now so harvesting can begin specific to your requests.

Deliveries will be made Wednesday per usual to your chosen Dropsite Location .

Recipes for your consideration

Sorry, I’m just going to refer you to the Recipe section on the website for some useful recipes this week. Hard physical labor calls to me.

If anyone has some good recipes for this weeks ingredients, pop on over to the website and enter them there for everyone’s benefit!.

Did You Know…

The box elder tree, Acer negundo, is a small (nope, I don’t agree_), usually fast-growing (certainly is!) and fairly short-lived (_50 years is youngster for at tree, wish it were the same for us!) tree that grows up to 10–25 metres (33–82 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter of 30–50 centimetres (12–20 in) , rarely up to 1 metre (3.3 ft) diameter (yep, that’s the truth). It often has several trunks and can form impenetrable thickets.

Subscription Box Highlights

Anticipated this week for the CSA/Subscription Boxes:

Broccoli
Kale
Cabbage
Head lettuce
Green onions
Kohlrabi
Summer squash
Cucumbers
Thyme
Garlic chives

Start your meal planning now!

We hope to feed you soon!

Please contact grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com for questions pertaining to Market or Raw Milk. It is very difficult to return phone calls. Remember to interact with us on Facebook and follow us on Meetup to get notification on all our wonderful events and news. If you are interested in Goat’s Milk and can pick up any day but Tuesday, contact Nik The Goat Guy at 404-542-0981. Goats have to be milked every day and a week-end pick-up would be lovely. For right now, we generally have some goat’s milk available during market hours, whether you have placed a market order or not. Please call Nik first to verify. Please contact him first though, we can’t accommodate walk-ins due to hosting private events almost every week-end!
