Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Nov 29 2015

I was sure I made this entry on Sunday, but Kazlyn pointed out to me this am that not so, must have entered a glitch in the matrix.

As of Nov 29th, we can offer the following crops: lettuce and mixed greens, sweet potato, cherry tomatoes(red, yellow and orange), celeriac, leek, cilantro, parsley, parsley root, kale, three varieties of chard, collards, peppers, eggplant, spaghetti and turban (Red October) squash.
The laying hens are producing plenty of delicious eggs to go around. The freezers are full of meats: lamb, beef, chicken, duck, goose, pork.

Hope you’re following the COP21 event in Paris. I recommend The Great Challenge blogspot as one good source of on-site analysis by Albert Bates.

ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Reminder

Good Evening ALFN Members

Remember to finalize your order on the market before tomorrow at noon. We still have beautiful carrots by Little Rock Urban Farming. If you are already planning for your spring garden, ABC Natural Greenhouse and Herb Farm has a few fun seeds you can get now!

Also, I still need some volunteers for Saturday. Here is the link to sign up. Thanks for the help!

This morning, NPR had an interesting little blurb on how climate change affects farmers. The piece looked at how multinational companies like Mars notices changes in production from global cocoa growers. The report cites models that show West Africa drying up with climate change. The interview reminded me of my neighbor in a small village in northern Mozambique. I called her grandma, and she treated me like her grandson. She was a farmer and had been her whole life. She talked about seeing snow, colder temperatures and more consistent rain when she was younger. She knew nothing of international panels on climate change nor the numerous peer-reviewed articles on the subject. What she knew, she knew from experience. In her own way, she knew about climate change because climate patterns were the infrastructure of her way of living and surviving in the world. We need the peer-reviewed articles to coax governmental leviathans into action. But, the evidence is clear for many growers who depend upon climate patterns for a livelihood.

Russellville Community Market:  Special RCM Announcement- Please Read!

We are at an exciting crossroads with the Russellville Community Market! As many of you may know, we recently added a great new team member to RCM with Tabitha taking over as our new market manager.

To give a brief history, this market began in 2010 as a small cooperative between a few family farmers, and they began to establish a customer base. Then, in October 2011, the central group who now makes up the board of directors for RCM took on the responsibilities of caring for the market, and boy have we grown! We currently have about 20 active growers, and our customer base is growing weekly.

In order to keep RCM on a growth trajectory, we have decided to move toward the goal of paying our market manager for all the hard work she does for RCM, which will be a first for us! This requires that we make a small increase in the surcharge our customers pay on their orders. The ability for us to pay our market manager definitely makes us proud of the way RCM has grown over the last few years. It should also make our supporters of great local food (YOU!) proud because it means local food is beginning to take root in Russellville, and for our great customers and supporters to be a part of that growth is something to really be proud of!

OK, how big is this change? We are increasing the customer surcharge from its current 6% up to 8%. So, on a $25.00 order, you will now pay 50 cents more— a $2.00 surcharge instead of $1.50. Not bad, right? All in the name of keeping local food going in Russellville! These increases in surcharges will go into effect January 1st, 2016, at which time we will begin the year anew, and continue to move forward creating a stronger, sustainable local food community!

So with our announcement out of the way, we want to say “Thank you!” for your continued support of RCM, and we sincerely hope you look forward to seeing us grow in your community as much as we do!
