Good morning!
The market is open as usual, and will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm. Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”
Farm News of the Week
From Molly Cornelison of Kountry Vittles:
First I must apologize, I put up the wrong picture for the Personal Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecakes; the issue has been fixed. It was a busy week in my little bakery with birthdays, graduations, and the end of the school year. Lots of Fresh Strawberry Pies were ordered and delivered, and I must say the berries are looking wonderful. Chocolate Meringue Pie is another popular pie during this time of the year as well. I will soon be replenishing my supply of fresh blueberries, so I should soon have plenty for some tasty Blueberry Cobblers.

(L to R) Fresh Strawberry Pie and Blueberry Cobbler.

Vegetables

PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30pm!
Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This online farmers market allows you to buy directly from multiple farms committed to chemical-free and local produce all year long! CHEMICAL-FREE means produce and pastures grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides. LOCAL means within 80 miles from the market pickup locations (usually much much closer). Do you know someone who grows chemical-free food in the area? Get them in touch with us. Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!
Old99Farm Market: Milk Legal Battle finale next week
First read this: http://www.davidgumpert.com/o-canada-will-become-first-nation-criminalize-raw-milk-consumption
Supporters of farmgate food sources,
The time has come to put our time, our money or our mouth where our passion lies. I know we are passionate about having raw milk for our families, however unless each one of us steps up and commits to taking some action to support our farmers, they may be forced to give up the fight due to the toll this whole process takes on their health. Remember they will be able to continue drinking their raw milk if the injunction is enforced by the court, however we will not.
In fact, under the conditions of the injunction, anyone even talking about the consumption of the raw milk or trying to solicit it from a farmer can be held criminally liable. My point is this is our cause!
Please make a commitment to one of the suggestions below clicking on the link and signing your name. Stand up and be counted! We the people have the power however we must take an action!
Options:
1. PLEASE make arrangements now to take that day (or just the morning) off to attend the hearing at the Newmarket Courthouse at 50 Eagle St W, Newmarket, ON L3Y 6B1.
It is absolutely critical that as many people as possible be there.
We are going to have a peaceful rally in front of the court house. Please bring signs.
Sign up here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-16r69Byd6mTz8mWoNGWYXotPxXR1T-ZUbrOJ-32NtM/edit?usp=sharing
2. Go to https://www.gofundme.com/foodrights and pledge a one-time amount to the cause or a smaller monthly amount for 6-12 months.
3. Have friends over and discuss why you are passionate about the freedom to choose raw milk.
4. Make a phone call to your MPP and let him/her know why this is important to you. Be clear that harassing our farmers is not where you want your hard earned tax dollars to go. Ask for direction in how to go about having this archaic law abolished and encourage dialog with the producers of raw milk.
5. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper asking why this story is not being covered by them.
6. Call your radio station and ask to speak to the news room and share your frustration that they are complacent about the government handling of this whole issue. My goodness, when animals are rescued from abusive factories it hits all the airwaves and yet nothing about this important subject?
7. Write to TVO and fill them in on this ridiculous case.
Please if you have any other idea, share it. Together we can find the solution!
Keep blowing whistles. They have to hear us and they have to finally listen.

Just something to think about… Every week, Cindy Ford, Susan Coker, Sue Martinson come early to Market to assist Kathy Barnes, Market Coordinator (and KEB Barnes) with unpacking her car, lugging all the items you have ordered into the Church Hall, separating each item and placing it in ‘your space’ with your invoice. They continue their efforts with setting up displays and the Farmers’ Sale Table, coordinate with each other to ensure all is ready for Member pickup. Assisting Members with finding items, answering questions, offering ideas for recipes, checking out Members with the purchases and finally cleaning up and re-packing; they truly have a very busy day! Without them, the Market could NOT function! Ladies, know that I appreciate your efforts and your dedication to the Members and to our Market! I offer you my heart-felt gratitude! Thank you!
