Plan to join us Saturday February 17, 9 am to noon for a hands on planning workshop to maximize your vegetable production for all skill levels at the Grayson LandCare/IFM office at 108 Courthouse Street. We’ll talk about planting dates, spacing, interplanting and succession plantings as well as organic pest and disease control. Using information from the best national and local gardeners you’ll learn to apply these techniques to a single raised bed or a full sized market garden. Hope to see you then! The cost is $10 and includes light snacks and the class is limited to 30 people. Please email Michelle Pridgen at independencefarmersmarket@gmail.com to register.

Miami County Locally Grown: Separation of the Virtual Market and Miami County Local Food Council
The following is a joint statement from the Miami County Local Food Council and the Virtual Market -
Dear Miami County Locally Grown customers, friends, and local food supporters:
The Miami County Local Food Council and Miami County Locally Grown Virtual Farmer’s Market would like to thank you whole heartedly for your support of our local food projects within Miami County during 2017!
The Miami County Local Food Council began over 5 years ago with a group of like minded individuals concerned about local food issues in Miami County. Out of the many opportunities available, the council chose to develop an innovative virtual farmers market that would allow farmers and vendors another avenue of income, while also providing customers convenient access to truly local food. Miami County Locally Grown began in August 2016 as a collaborative effort between the Miami County Local Food Council and OSU Extension through a grant from the USDA. The grant funding expired in August of 2017 and Miami County Locally Grown was then overseen by Miami County Local Food Council.
To better serve the local food community, and to grow both organizations (Miami County Local Food Council and Miami County Locally Grown), it has been agreed to operate as separate entities, who will still work in collaboration with each other in the interest of local food, but under separate management.
Miami County Locally Grown continues to provide an easy way for consumers and producers to buy and sell goods, supporting the local economy and encouraging healthy eating habits while building positive community relationships. Jennifer Ruff will continue to serve as Market Manager for Miami County Locally Grown.
Miami County Local Food Council is currently planning the 5th annual Locavore Dinner and the 2nd Local Food Summit. Miami County Local Food Council is working to establish food policy at the local, state and national level and become involved in public education on the value of local foods within the county, state and country.
If you are interested in becoming involved in either of these endeavors, please contact Miami County Locally Grown or Miami County Local Food Council at their respective emails below.
Sincerely,
Miami County Local Food Council

This Week
Market opens at 10AM
Please welcome our newest egg sellers, a husband/wife team, Alice and Jim Hackney of Rocky Top Farm. Their hens are fed non-GMO and soy-free feed and free-range on their property, found in south Forsyth.
Back in Time Farm is listing their pastured poultry this week. Although they are sold out of whole birds until May, they have a variety of sausages, as well as boneless, skinless breasts. Stock your freezers!
Do you like Naan? HomeSpun Baking Company has a new product on the market, gluten-free Naan bread. It is absolutely delicious warmed up! Eat it with your favorite hummus or Indian dish, or as an open-face flatbread sandwich.
Alta Cucina will be making the monthly delivery this week, so make sure to shop their balsamic vinegars reductions, infused and dipping extra virgin olive oils, tomato sauces, pestos and balsamic jams.
Cultured Traditions is back this week with their famous garlic dill pickles and other inventive krauts and ferments. Ginger tumeric kraut sounds like a perfect tonic for the gut.
Elderberry Syrup is back on the shelf! Good Shepherd Herbals has also restocked Beulah Balm.
Below is a message from My Daily Bread:
My Daily Bread wishes to share some exciting news with you… we are under new ownership! Our friends at Leilani’s Gardens have assumed ownership over the company and we couldn’t be more excited. Leilani’s farm and My Daily Bread share many of the same values and goals which include providing healthy, natural and organic products to our customers. When the original owners of My Daily Bread decided it was time to hang up their aprons, it seemed like a ‘natural’ fit to bring the bakery to the farm.
Don’t worry – we’ve kept all of our recipes, and even our baker, Bruce, so you’ll still receive the same quality baked goods that you have come to expect from us at My Daily Bread. Not only can you expect the same products, but we hope to bring some exciting new additions to the table using the fresh produce we’ll now have, literally, in our own back yard.
Our customers are very important to us, and we value your patronage. We are pleased to continue serving the community and people who have helped us grow into the bakery we are today, and we look forward to the new opportunities that lie ahead.
Thank you for your support!
