September 1 Farm Stand
"We need real farmers who grow real food, and the will to reform a broken food system. And for that, we need not only to celebrate farmers, but also to advocate for them."
The above quote is part of an awesome op-ed written by The New York Times food columnist, Mark Bittman. You should read it. And then read some more about the horrendous state of our food system. And then take a stand against it by supporting and advocating for your local farmers.
:Stepping off soap box:
Can you believe tomorrow is September? I don't even know where August went, it barely stopped to say hello. We've got loads of ground cherries so pick up a couple baskets this week and dip them in chocolate, or can up some preserves, or make this awesome-looking cupcake pie thing (tell us how it turns out)!
Here's the full list we'll have this Saturday, 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. in Blawnox. We accept cash and Farmer's Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) checks.
Lettuce (New!)
Fingerling Potatoes
Heirloom Tomatoes - Eva Purple Ball, Gold Medal, Pink, Red Cherry, Roma
Ground Cherries
Green peppers
Radishes
Red Onions
