In an effort to learn more about our region’s local food economy, the Appalachian RC&D Council is conducting a survey on residents of Northeast TN and Southwest VA. The ARC&D is currently working on a USDA Local Food Promotion Program grant and data collected from the survey will help inform their efforts. The survey should take between 5-10 minutes to complete. Here’s the link:

CSA Farmers Market:  July 16 growing season update & Turnip Salad Recipe

Wow things are growing! I am not sure what is growing faster the weeds or the vegetables. Marianna (White Pine Farm CSA Member) and I have been trying to think of a chant we can use to tell the weeds not to grow and to let only the produce grow, but the only chant we could come up with involved hand language that said pull weeds and ignore produce.

The nights have been cold (down to 46 degrees last night) so the tomatoes are very unhappy. They like the temperatures to be up in the 70’s for 24 hours each day for several days to ripen and have that maximum fresh-picked Michigan tomato flavor. We are picking only a few tomatoes. No one, except for our neighbors dog, will get tomatoes this week. The pup snuck into the hoop house, took a tomato, and came up to me wanting to play fetch!! Now we are on dog alert rather than just rabbit and deer alert.

The other day strong winds gusting to 50 mph blew a large limb down on our 4-wheeler and as we surveyed other damage we found that they knocked the onion plants over so we will be harvesting those and putting them on the market a little earlier than normal, once the onion plants get knocked down they do not grow larger. The walla wallas were getting to be a good size and we were going to be harvesting anyways, you now can look forward to a lot of tasty sweet onions.

On Monday our (White Pine Farm) Organic Certification inspector came by and was impressed with our farming operation as well as the CSA Farmers Market operation. White Pine Farm is also serves as home base for CSA Farmers Market and without Dales and Mine (Marian) tireless work CSA Farmers Market would not exist. The other farmers do help out quite a bit, but for now, the bulk of the work rests on our shoulders.

Until Next Time

Old99Farm Market:  Raspberry U-PICK

The crop is gorgeous and at its peak now. These are organic berries, not sprayed. I’m encouraging u-pickers to come while it’s prime time.

I don’t know the roadside stand prices but Lindley’s Upick is $5/quart,
Jerry’s is $3/pint, get 7th pint free.
Jordash Gardens is $5/pint (location?)
and Hamilton Berries in Brantford hasn’t called me back.
None of these are organic.

I’m offering organic upick for $1.50 per 100 grams (HUH? that’s $4.50 per pint or $9/qt since a pint weights 300gm) That’s 3 dollars less per pint than on opening weekend last.

quarts are bigger than liters, 1 qt = 2 pints = 1.14L, if you recall. Figure how much jam and frozen berries you want to put by for winter and come on over.

I have boxes and containers here. Come soon for best picking.

ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Is Open

Gwinnett Locally Grown:  The Market is open for ordering! Running Wild Alaskan Seafood, LLC Salmon Update!

The Market is open Thursday at 9 – Monday at noon After that, ordering is disabled until Thursday morning. Pick up your order Tuesday from 4:00-7:00 p.m. only at Rancho Alegre Farm at 2225 Givens Road, Dacula, GA 30019. New to The Market? Learn about how it works here.

Salmon Update!

What’s up with the Salmon?
The salmon are running and Bill from Back in Time Farm will be supplying Alaskan Wild Caught salmon through his son, Running Wild Alaskan Seafood, LLC. He is going to Homer, Alaska and will be back with salmon and have it posted for the Market opening on Thursday, August 6th. It will be open to order then but we will be notifying and watching for those who were on the list to make sure their orders are handled first. You may continue to order after the first week until the supply runs out. I’m being told that there may be a chance for a second catch to be added but not guaranteed yet. So if you are wanting salmon, I recommend purchasing while you have the chance.
This deliciously fresh salmon is carefully selected directly from the fishermen’s nets from the cold Alaskan waters before it ever enters the ship’s hold. Only the best is chosen to become part of " Running Wild Alaskan Seafood’s" premium offerings. The fish is immediately bled and iced down before making the short boat ride to the processor located in Homer, Alaska. Here it is quickly processed and flash frozen (to ensure freshness) then packed into coolers for the overnight trip to Georgia. This is the freshest salmon available without going to Alaska to catch it yourself. Red Sockeye salmon is packed with flavor and nutrition.
We are within a week or so of having this salmon at our very own market! The packages will be in a couple different ounce packages and range in prices based on $19.00 a pound.

We are placing an order for Green Pastures Fermented Cod Liver Oil if anyone is interested in ordering! Please email me at grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com with your contact info and what you want to order. Thanks!
