New Field Farm's Online Market:  Broccoli ?

Greetings,

We woke to our third light frost Monday morning. Still no killing frost. The only drawback to that is that our worst weed, galinsoga, continues to grow and flower so I haven’t yet had the satisfaction of walking into the field and seeing it all killed back by the cold.

We’ll do our annual bulk order either the last week of October or the first week of November.

I put broccoli on the site with the hope that this mild weather will make it available by Friday.

This has been our best year for lettuce since we began 28 years ago and it continues to be nice even now. The last of the salad mix is also looking good.

We’re down to two kinds of potatoes – Kennebecs and Yellow Finns.

The Copra onions are bigger than I’ve ever seen and seem like they cured well and so should store well for the winter.

Thank you for your orders.

Enjoy,
Tim

Champaign, OH:  California Dreamin'

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray…
I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day…
I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A…

It wasn’t at all a winter’s day, today, but by the time I reached home, after a very busy day down in my shop, I had been rained on, repeatedly, and felt so chilled and in need of a glass of wine, and the shelter of my favorite blankets, that it made my mind drift off to the days I lived in California..

I have been reflecting, a lot, about that time in my life. I think it has a lot to do with this past weekend’s State Of The Plate celebration. The theme was, Dare To Dream. I started my speech off with….“I am the girl who dared to dream…”

Dreams…of the Cali nature or any nature, they are what we are made of! They are the magic to our thoughts! They are the pixie dust to making it all happen for us!! They tell us to reach for what you wish, and the dream will come true.

It occurred to me that I have always had an easy time of jumping on the dream…making what I want all happen! I never set out with a clear cut plan, but somehow, I always make it all happen.

I was always teased for being such a Pollyanna. Always believing that it would all be ok, all good. I just believed that if I wanted it, I could make it all happen. And, I usually did. I mean, I had my setbacks. Who doesn’t. But, in all of my thoughts back on my life, most of them reflect back on dreams, not knowing how I would achieve them, but always knowing that somehow I would!

Dreams are important. Dreams fuel us. They feed us. They drive us. They can make us insane but then, right at the height of insanity, dreams can bring clarity…they bring us the plan, the vision, the rainbow.

This little local market of love was all about a long ago dream. A dream of bringing local markets to a whole new level. A different playing field. Uniting all things local under one umbrella.

I like to think that with each week, with each order, we continue the path that the original dream started to take us. We are such a strong little community, a vibrant little market, such a source for local love…

It was the dream…and now we are living it…how amazing is that??? To dream a dream and help it take shape…California or Champaign County…the dreams are the same.

Tonight is Tuesday, we close the market at 10pm, and we want you on that dream!! Get your orders in!! Be part of this amazing movement that once was just a dream…

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

ALFN Local Food Club:  The Big Picture.

A little birdy told me that total farmer sales through the entire locallygrown network recently passed the $13 million milestone. That’s money that didn’t fund the environmental devastation of single crop, industrial farming. That’s money that didn’t patronize the cruelty of concentrated animal feeding operations. That’s money that was spent in quantifiable support of a stronger, safer food economy. Best of all, that’s a lot of great local food making its way to a massive number of people! It may seem like our little food club couldn’t possibly influence the greater food economy, but we are one of many, and our collective impact is real.

We owe it all, of course, to you! We only exists because you continue to shop local, support sustainable farms, and spread the word. So let’s keep the momentum going! If you haven’t already this week, or even if you have, take a virtual walk around The Market before it closes at noon tomorrow and know that every item you order paves the way for a better, tastier future.
