Beef cuts are now available, a total of about 500 lbs of pastured meats. I will have a special on ground beef in the week of Oct 14th. Place order now for ground beef at $5/lb ($1.50 off regular). There are several geese and roasting chickens in the freezer. There are two lambs left plus individual cuts but I will have about 10 more in a month.

Did I send out the notice that farmer/food activist/author extraordinaire, Joel Salatin is coming to Guelph on Oct 4th, guest of the Practical Farmers of Ontario? See their website for particulars, cost is $65 for day seminar with three sessions.
Here’s some current Salatin thinking on HOME COOKED MEALS. Read the whole thing at http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/slate-family-dinner-zb0z1409zsie.aspx#axzz3Dx4eQok6

The [Slate magazine] piece concluded more often than not family members (especially the male ones) were ingrates and, generally, home-cooked meals were too stressful, expensive, time-consuming, and utensil-dependent to be worthy of the trouble.

In the circles I (Salatin and me) run in and market to, the home-cooked meal is revered as the ultimate expression of food integrity. The home-cooked meal indicates a reverence for our bodies’ fuel, a respect for biology, and a committed remedial spirit toward all the shenanigans in our industrial, pathogen-laden, nutrient-deficient food-and-farming system.

Here’s the question I would like to ask these families: “Are you spending time or money on anything unnecessary?” Cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, soft drinks, lottery tickets, People Magazine, TV, cell phone, soccer games, potato chips . . . ? Show me the household devoid of any of these luxuries, then let’s talk. Otherwise, you’re just unwilling to do what’s more important, which is provide for the health of your family and your environment. That’s a personal choice, and one that’s entirely within your control.

Healthy eating,
Ian and Camelia

Heirloom Living Market Lilburn:  Market News and Reminder to Order

Greetings All:

I hope that you all had a good weekend.

Market closes at 6:00pm today. Please get your orders in before the deadline.

Marie of Bakery on Brooks has put her items in the “vacation mode” this week. Please keep Marie in your prayers as she is also praying for God’s direction in whether or not to continue with the Market. Baking is a time consuming and laborious task. In addition to the wonderful Gluten Free items Marie bakes for us, she is continually ‘experimenting’ and creating new recipes for us to enjoy Gluten Free items that have the same type of ‘deliciousness’ that we enjoyed in eating Wheat based goodies! From her Cornbread, Cookies, Sweet Breads and Sandwich Breads, she has more than ‘mastered’ the art of truly delicious Gluten Free baking! I am grateful that she has been with the Markets and pray that God, in His infinite wisdom will show her the direction He wishes for her to travel. Please keep her in your prayers!

With the end of Summer, we are now getting into the Fall Veggies; however, just as with every change of season, the crops are slow to come in at the beginning of each season! Although we do have a good selection, the variety may be a little slim for the next few weeks! Keep checking here and on the website for new offerings.

Thank you for taking the time to read this bit of information!

Martin's Farmstand:  Peppers, arugula and watermelon

We are having wonderful growing weather again. I was impressed this morning how much the spinach, lettuce, cilantro etc. grew over the weekend. The plantings that are timed for October will get ready. I was not sure about them for a bit in that cold cloudy weather a few weeks back. The arugula is exceptionally mild and sweet right now- give it a try.
Now is the time to get your sweet and hot peppers for freezing or pickling if you have not done so yet. We have lots of them right now.
I picked 3000 lbs of watermelons on Friday. From now till the pile gets small we are giving a free watermelon to anybody that buys one. (buy 1 get 1 free).
I am looking for a few good deer hunters. If interested contact me or Melvin. Daniel

Princeton Farm Fresh:  The Market is Open

It seems fall may indeed be here! The leaves are starting to change, the weather is thinking about cooling down, and the kids are back in school. Everything should be settling back into a routine by now.
At our farm almost all summer veggies are out of the high tunnel, and the rabbits are eating voraciously at the seedlings in the garden. The garlic has arrived for next years harvest, and we will be planting it in the next few days. Onion seeds are growing and will be in the ground next month- just before the first frost. I am trying to be proactive for next year and getting beds laid, so I don’t have to wait on the ground drying up in the spring.
I wanted to let you know of a decision that was made a few weeks ago by our Meat Farmer. James from Riverbend Farms is a dedicated dad, who gets his kids on the bus in the morning and makes sure that he is there for them when they get home. He attends all of their events and when they are home from school they go with him to the farm. He has come to the realization that during the school year he needs to be closer to home more often now. His kiddos are getting older and are involved in more and more activities. I begged him not to drop our little farmers market and we agreed that coming twice a month would be an option to keep our customers happy and still provide him the time to care for his little ones. So you can look for James and his Grassfed Beef and Pastured Pork on the first and third Friday’s of every month, and if we have a fifth Friday he will be here too.
See everyone on Friday,
Angela
