Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 farm, week of July 17 2017

All meat is raised here on pasture: pork, turkey, beef, lamb, chicken, duck and goose.

As of July 17th , we can offer the following crops: raspberries, new harvest chard and kale, purple potatoes, black currants, sorrel, New Zealand spinach, rhubarb, lovage, sweet cicely, chives. Our tomatoes went on sale last week.

We sell upick by weight, but roughly it works out to 500gm per Litre. Upick is about half price of pre-pick.

Reminder: I sharpen your chef’s knives with proper equipment so you can really enjoy them.

Healthy eating

ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Reminder

Hey Everyone!

Don’t forget to place your orders on the market before noon, and to sign up to be a volunteer for this weekend.

We also have another great volunteer opportunity this weekend at the Watermelon Crawl in Scott, AR benefiting the Green Groceries program and the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance. Watermelon Crawl is a great way to do good and have a fun time doing it. The Alliance staff and volunteers will be going into the field at Scott Melons and More to glean watermelon for food banks and pantries in central Arkansas. The hay truck will head out at 9:00 am, so don’t be late.

Bring your garden gloves and sturdy shoes, bug spray and competitive spirit for this morning of gleaning, games, music, food and fun. Teams will compete for prizes, and we welcome organizations to participate. Cold water and breakfast will be provided.
