New Field Farm's Online Market:  Ginger order clarification


Hi,

I want to be sure that I’m clear about the ginger/turmeric order.

The ginger and turmeric need to be ordered this week and will be picked up next week. If you want some you can let me know in the comment section of your regular order for this week.

Or, if you’re not ordering veggies this week, you can email me how much ginger you want.

If you just order ginger and/or turmeric then that’s what you will pick up next Friday, Oct. 23 at the usual time and place. If you also order veggies next week then the ginger or turmeric will be added to your regular order.

And again, the ginger is $12/lb. or $6 per half lb. and turmeric is $16/lb. or $8 per half lb.

If you have questions please let me know.

Thanks,
Tim

Naples,FL:  Please read


Milk production is low and I cannot open the market until later this week.I may only have a few gallons unless the cows that are due have their calves. I have been alternating each of retailers with a week off but am hoping to not have to do that to you but I may have to.If I do it will be available at Food and Thought and then they will not get any the following week but you will. We are trying to be as fair as possible to all buyers. Will update as soon as I know something.
Thank you,
Teresa

Old99Farm Market:  The Permaculture City: a review


Permaculture is more than just the latest buzzword; it offers positive solutions for many of the environmental and social challenges confronting us. And nowhere are those remedies more needed and desired than in our cities. The Permaculture City provides a new way of thinking about urban living, with practical examples for creating abundant food, energy security, close-knit communities, local and meaningful livelihoods, and sustainable policies in our cities and towns. The same nature-based approach that works so beautifully for growing food?connecting the pieces of the landscape together in harmonious ways?applies perfectly to many of our other needs. Toby Hemenway, one of the leading practitioners and teachers of permaculture design, illuminates a new way forward through examples of edge-pushing innovations, along with a deeply holistic conceptual framework for our cities, towns, and suburbs.

The Permaculture City begins in the garden but takes what we have learned there and applies it to a much broader range of human experience; we’re not just gardening plants but people, neighborhoods, and even cultures. Hemenway lays out how permaculture design can help towndwellers solve the challenges of meeting our needs for food, water, shelter, energy, community, and livelihood in sustainable, resilient ways. Readers will find new information on designing the urban home garden and strategies for gardening in community, rethinking our water and energy systems, learning the difference between a “job” and a “livelihood,” and the importance of placemaking and an empowered community.

This important book documents the rise of a new sophistication, depth, and diversity in the approaches and thinking of permaculture designers and practitioners. Understanding nature can do more than improve how we grow, make, or consume things; it can also teach us how to cooperate, make decisions, and arrive at good solutions.

Weedy Soil has just harvested some fresh Turmeric root, and luckily she’s sharing with us. I’ve heard it said that Turmeric is really, really good for us but I’ve never used it so I had to look it up online and here’s what I found…

Your Account

FREE MEMBERSHIP You can now waive your membership fee of $25 just by signing up to volunteer one full Saturday morning, 8:30am-12:30pm. It’s fun and rewarding to experience “behind the scenes” of our locally grown market. Volunteers greet farmers and customers, organize food delivery and pick up, and check-out customer orders using a ipad. Check out this online sign up sheet to find an opening. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090d4baca92fa13-thecumming

UPDATE CONTACT With all the hustle and bustle of back-to-school and new routines, it’s easy to forget things like picking up your TCH order. Remember that we can’t keep your items past 12pm, and we’ll try contacting you any way we know how to make sure you get what you ordered. Now’s a great time to check the phone number on your account to make sure it’s a number I can reach you at 11:45am on a Saturday. I start calling everyone who hasn’t picked up yet then, and will keep trying to reach you until 12pm, when we have to pack it all up. I hate seeing people’s food go somewhere else, and having a good phone number on your account is the best way to keep that from happening.

Main Market Location and Pick Up
Building 106, Colony Park Dr. in the Basement of Suite 100, Cumming, GA 30040. Pick up every Saturday between 10-12pm.
