Happy Sunday!

I hope you have had lots of fun in the snow this weekend. The market is open this morning as usual, and you don’t have to come out in the cold on messy roads to order your farm products. We will remain open for your orders till Tuesday evening at 10 pm, so come see what we have to offer this week. Also see the section of this message entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.” First, let’s see what’s new on the market this week.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————
NEWS AND NOTES

This week Hope for Health has added Alfalfa Sprouts to the market. Alfalfa Sprouts are tender and appropriate for use in salads, sandwiches and soups.


KIC Produce has added both a spring and a summer CSA. The spring CSA will run for 8 consecutive weeks beginning the week of April 24. The summer CSA will run for 12 consecutive weeks beginning the week of June 19. Both are being discounted on the market till Feb 14.

Q: “What is Customer Supported Agriculture (CSA)?”

A: A CSA program is a great way to connect with your local farmer and insure that you receive choice, freshly harvested produce each week. A typical share will provide you with a wide variety of produce at the peak of harvest.



Delicious Nutritious Bread is still on vacation this week.



Yes, you certainly can eat healthy meals in the winter! This is the place to find wonderful winter vegetables, all locally grown and harvested just for you. Check out the market listings from Frontier Family Farms for additional details.



It’s great to be able to get locally grown vegetables in the winter. But our farmers’ market is not just about vegetables. Please take note of some of the seasonal items available this week: Live Water Kefir Grains and Square Bale Grass Hay from Triple B Farms; Ground Beef from Paccman Ranch; several flavors of grape jelly from Weaver Farms; and strawberry jam from Sand Dragon Farm.



We also have lots of our regular year-round items: perennial, herb, and fern plants, as well as a good selection of houseplants; local milk, eggs, and honey; lots of different pork cuts; several dried herbs and fresh, as well as lots of homemade herbal products too.



Stop by Square Books soon and see our MLG Table, with lots of non-perishable farm products for sale. Pick up some honey, jam or jelly, hand lotion, or a basket of herb plants to enjoy this winter.


(L to R) Alfalfa Sprouts from Hope for Health; Spring Season CSA and Summer Season CSA from KIC Produce; Creamline Milk from Casey Family Farm; Swedish Ivy Hanging Basket from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.
