ALFN Local Food Club: Weblog Entry
Step right up and place your order! The Market is still open and ready to fulfill all your local foodie needs. From arugula to zucchini, we have all the hardy winter produce and frozen fruits and veggies you could want, along with a few delicate greenhouse-grown goodies, too. And don’t forget the fresh herbs! Just a pinch each of fresh parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme is enough to make any dish sing.
For those of you who prefer to leave the cooking to other folks, you’ll be pleased to hear that Drewry Farm & Orchard is back in action with their Arkansas black apple and sweet potato pies. I won’t lie, these are tasty pies, but I like to hoard Arkansas black apples in their unadulterated form to munch on for months to come.
Whatever you fancy, you should know that we’ll be here for the Monday pickup in spite of the holiday. If you won’t be around and need to make other arrangements, just reply to this weblog and we’ll do our best to make sure you can take advantage of this mid-winter bounty.

Champaign, OH: Taking Care Of Business
And we be takin’ care of business every day…
Takin’ care of business every way…
We’ve been takin’ care of business, it’s all mine…
Takin’ care of business and working overtime…
(Bachman – Turner Overdrive – Takin Care Of Business)
Well….A big, huge, standing ovation to your Buckeyes!! They went, they took care of business, they left with the victory!! The kind of heart warming, adrenaline pumping story of victory that makes it all so sweet. No matter who your team is, what school you usually cheer for, during the season, there was no denying that last night was simply amazing!
I am always about the under dogs, the ones who just kept the focus and let it lead them to success or victory.
This little market of love was the underdog. The little one that had the naysayers, the doubters, the, dare I even say it? The haters? Every solid team goes through this. The difference is how you show up, how you keep your vision, your focus, how you play it all out, how you take care of business.
I hope that everyone is basking in the victory, recovering from fun, proud to be a part of this state, of this community.
Today is Tuesday…the market will close, tonight, at 10pm. How about taking care of some business, right here? Show some love, right here? If you order, now, you will be ready for an early night to relax after last night’s crazy fun.
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Jan 11 2015
The Guelph Organic Conference is coming up soon, Jan 29 to Feb 1, but the main event is the sat/sun weekend. You can go for free, no admission on the weekend, and visit over 200 booths in the tradeshow, or $40/day for workshops (choose 5 from 20 on sat, 3 from 12 on sunday) The tracks are themed: Organic Crop Production, Organic Livestock Management, Urban Agriculture and CityFarm issues, Pollination, Horticulture and Production, and Permaculture & Restoration Agriculture.
Friday evening there is an Organic Foods/Holistic Health symposium for $40. See the website www.guelphorganicconference.ca for details. Prices go up after Jan 14.
The egg situation has stabilized, thank you for helping out via my buy 3 get 4 incentive. Wouldntya know it, the hens drastically cut back this week, for as yet unknown reasons, so I might be short now! Needless to say, regular terms are in effect as of yesterday.
We harvested several bushels of carrots from the greenhouse, very tasty due to the cold: Eliot Coleman calls them ‘sugar carrots’ and sells out every year. We have the baby size and regular size.
Another helpful book from the Weston A Price Foundation is now available at local bookstores: Nourishing Broth, about the legion health benefits of bone broths and their many uses. I’m right into it. There is a chapter on each of 11 different diseases or afflictions that broth can help. And then many recipes for broth and its uses.
As of Jan 11th, we can offer 57+ items including the following crops: salad greens, mint, beet root, chard, celeriac, carrots, squashes (hubbard, butternut, Sibley, buttercup, spaghetti and delicata), mixed greens, green onions and lettuce. There are lots of eggs and honey.
Camelia is cooking prepared foods from our produce: garlic pesto, cucumber relish, quiches (on order).
Would anyone be interested in bone broths prepared by Camelia? We could sell in 1 or 2 L jars, with deposit. Would you pay $10/L? Options could be beef, chicken, lamb or pork. Feedback requested.
We have lots of ground beef and a quarter side. I have 5 lambs in the freezer, as well as veal. The pork is selling well as are the stewing hens.
Healthy eating
Ian and Camelia
