Market News

Hello!

It’s Monday evening, and we have lots of nice items still available for the week. Can you believe chocolate and cheese truffles from The Bloomy Rind? (or maybe it’s cheese and chocolate truffles – whatever. They’ve got to be good!)

We’ve also got lovely potted hyacinth plants for gifts, baguettes to go along with your cheese, and lots of nice meat options for Valentine’s Day dinner. There are some veggies left – just a few – but perhaps you can still snag SOMETHING green while you have the chance!

Also, Wednesday Tally will be bringing some lovely tulip bunches in pinks, red and apricot. There will be 10 stems for $8.00. Let her know if you’d like to reserve some.

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

John and Tallahassee

Coming Events

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Feb 8 2015

Yes, you can wish me Happy Birthday, I am fully enjoying being a senior citizen! Just recently I was offered the seniors’ discount at the petfood store; what a bizarre moment of recognition.

I like to put content up here that has nothing, and everything, to do with local food, health and eating well. Sometimes it sounds like a soapbox tirade I suppose. But I wonder how many readers have gained an insight or felt challenged in their presumptions about how life is? Let me explain my motivation…

For example, “we” are currently wrangling about how much to devastate the Earth. That’s the long and short of it when it comes to fossil energy, climate upset and species extinction.

As Susan Solnit puts it in her essay, “Climate Change is (global-scale) Violence” against places and species, as well as against human beings. Once we call it by name, we can start having a real conversation about our priorities and values. Because the revolt against brutality begins with a revolt against the language that hides that brutality. http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/28933-climate-change-is-violence

In every arena, we need to look at industrial-scale and systemic violence, not just the hands-on violence of the less powerful. When it comes to climate change, this is particularly true. Exxon [and the other Alberta Tar Sands miners] has decided to bet that we can’t make the corporation keep its reserves in the ground, and the company is reassuring its investors that it will continue to profit off the rapid, violent, and intentional destruction of the Earth.

But what do we do, the locals? Well, we shop and patronize, invest and borrow, read and converse, etc. All this could be informed by a morality that prizes earth care. But we are all gamblers, with a fatal mental malfunction, we think we can dodge the bullet (win the lottery) next time because so far we have (or haven’t). In the end, the gambler’s fallacy is one of the factors that lead people, companies, and entire civilization to a rapid collapse. It is what Ugo Bardi has called the “Seneca Cliff” from the words of the ancient Roman philosopher who first noted how “the way to ruin is rapid”. In the case described here http://cassandralegacy.blogspot.it/2015/02/senecas-gamble-how-to-create-your-own.html, we might call it the “Seneca gamble” but, in all cases, it is a ruin that we create with our own hands.

This week we have root crops, especially carrots, wheat and spelt flour, garlic, meats, eggs and honey. I’m making a batch of beef bone broth for sale by the liter.

Healthy eating, and unstoppable caring,

Ian and Cami

Heirloom Living Market Lilburn:  A Worthy Cause...Please Read!

Dear Members:

Whether it is in a ‘traditional classroom’, home, or out in the field, teaching our youth is truly a ‘calling’. It requires dedication and a passion to instill the love of learning.

In addition to being a wife, grandmother, active Member of her Church, working her Farm, running a successful agricultural based business, volunteer work in the community, Tammy Burnell of Burnell Farms founded For My Daughters’ Sake. This non-profit, faith-based organization concentrates it efforts on educating and engaging girls (from 8 to 21) in educational programs. Teaching our youth self-sufficiency skills enhances their knowledge, ability to accept responsibility, confidence to meet those responsibilities, ability to think ‘outside of the box’ and create a niche to entrepreneurial success. On the path they are learning about nutrient dense foods for healthy nutrition, sustainability, canning, sewing, soap making, etiquette —
and a myriad of other life skills that will serve them well as they transition in the the world of adult-hood. Keeping and growing in faith and spiritual ideals will give them strength and fortitude in their journey.

Truly Living Well, a well-established urban farm and organization out of Atlanta, Georgia has collaborated with Burnell Farms to add to the success of this youth program.

In an effort to further the girls’ understanding of organic farming, Tammy is endeavoring to take them to the Georgia Organics Conference being held later this month. The girls engaged in a canning project to raise money; but have fallen a bit short and need our help! You can do this either by donating at Market pickup or by clicking the link below! A portion of the Market proceeds this week will be donated to My Daughters’ Sake. Will you help also?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for donating to this worthy endeavor! In a future Newsletter, I will provide feedback from these young ladies about their experience!

Joyful Noise Acres Farm:  Don't forget to order.

The market closes at 8:oo p.m. so please get your orders in.

Saturday, we had a wonderful class on the fermentation of vegetables. We learned so much and ate very well. Thank you to all that attended and especially to Marty Martinez for sharing his vast knowledge. He made something very unfamiliar and seemingly daunting, simple, doable, and delicious. Next month, March 7th, we will be learning about water and milk kefir, kombucha and yogurts. If you want a kombucha scoby, one of our clients has plenty and is willing to share. She will bring it to the market if you let us know ahead of time that you want one.

Have a beautiful week and we will see you Wednesday.
Mary Beth
