Miami County Locally Grown: Farm Tour includes Outdoor Bake Oven demos!
Have you signed up for the Farm Tour at 6635 StudeBaker in Tipp City?
Wednesday Sept 20th, from 5-7pm, you’ll be WOWed with her gorgeous outdoor brick bake oven, and amazed as you watch (or help!) power the bicycle to grind local wheat, grown on End of the Road Farm!
Then sample crackers straight out of the oven, and try your hand at some old-fashioned farm tasks, such as shelling corn and churning butter – a food tasting, history lesson, and night out for the family, all in one!
Sign up on The Market under FARM TOURS before 8pm Sunday :-)

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Sept 10 2018
We’ve got lots to offer, 89 items to be exact. And so come on out at least once this summer for just-picked produce. Today I am adding baby chard to the list; we had a great crop of perpetual Green Chard, more flavourful than the coloured chards, in the greenhouse. It went to seed before we removed it, and now have several beds full of young chard, suitable for salads or steaming as a side dish, putting smoothies, soups etc.
Also now ready are new crop carrots, beets and lettuce, to add to the cantaloupe, squash, tomatoes (including Beefsteak), garlic, cilantro, parsley, watermelon, chives, Russet potatoes, onions, kale, spinach and arugula.
In the fruits department: apples, blackberries, pears, asian pears, and as mentioned melons and tomatoes.
Meats are still available in good selection. If you want roasting chickens for next winter, please give me your order and deposit of $5 per bird. I have beef, pork, lamb and goose in the freezer.
Here’s a curious quote to put the urgent climate disruption issue into perspective: “If you were going to weaponize an issue to take advantage of the weak points in the American political system—to highlight all the blind spots, dysfunctions, and irrationalities—you would create climate change,” Ezra Klein wrote last year. “And then you would stand back and watch the world burn.”
For a even-handed treatment of the trends, risks and consequences, see the UK site, Envisonation, which includes an action plant that concludes, “The work required to enact the above will require huge resources to be employed, it will be the biggest economic generator ever and because the result is a secure and stable future, confidence will soar, as efficiency not growth becomes the deciding factor.”
“Too hard to do you say?”
So now who is the prophet of doom?

The Wednesday Market: Reminder: No Wednesday Market Today!
Dear Farmers, Customers, and Friends:
This is a reminder that there will be no Wednesday Market today, due to the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.
We will go back to our normal ordering pattern on Saturday, when the system will be turned on.
We hope that all of you weathered the storm safely, and we look forward to serving you NEXT week.
Thanks,
Anna Evans, Sharon Fox, Irmalee Wing, and Beverly Walter

This Week
Good Morning! Some of our farmers still have no power but anticipate power today, this would make it difficult to update their items online and bake. Order with this in mind. Thank you for your support and understanding.
My Daily Bread has no power and if it doesn’t come back on today they won’t be able to get some of the orders prepared. We’re going to leave their items listed in hopes that the power comes on today.
Indian Creek Angus will deliver on October 7th.
Doug’s Wild Alaskan Salmon Doug should be just about finished fishing in Alaska so we expect to receive a new delivery of Salmon around mid to late September.

Athens Locally Grown: ALG -- Extended ordering time
Hello! Parts of Athens are still without power, and my house only just now came back online. I’m going to keep the market open through noon on Wednesday to allow folks who have been unable to order the last couple days to get an order in.
I can’t guarantee that the growers will have time to harvest everything on the orders, but we’ll be doing our best to get things to you on Thursday.
