Locally Grown - Availability for July 30, 2014

Hey Local Food Lovers,

Ayla and I are sitting here writing the message tonight. That is to say, I’m pecking one handed while she sort of dozes intermittently on my shoulder, and momma tries to get a half hour nap before next feeding.

I’m having a ball with my new family. We took grandma and grand aunt blueberry picking today and ate tons of tomato sandwiches, fresh salads, squash casserole and other tastes of the season over the weekend. The highlight for me was using Promised Lands hickory wood to smoke some pork. Been wanting to try that since it was offered and it made a mighty fine flavor. I highly recommend it as a gift for your grilling men out there. It’ll make them feel their primal selves a little more deeply.

Last week was a record breaking week for Locally Grown, in sales that is. And we had some great new volunteers in Gainesville, Cale, Hildreth and Ron. Huge thanks to them and all our volunteers that make market possible. We had so much stuff that I’m guessing I couldn’t have fit more than 30-40 lbs more in my vehicle!

We like to let you know about little things (and big things) we’re considering adding or changing to help grow and improve the market. It looks like a TRAILER for both hauling and possibly storing stuff may be in our near future. In fact, I added a trailer hitch to my vehicle last week just in case its sooner rather than later. We thought we’d mention it just on the off chance that any of you knew of a trailer that could be bought for a bargain. Needs to be no bigger than 5×8. Could be open or enclosed but as light as possible. We’ll keep you posted. We’re enjoying the challenge of hauling more local food!

Well that’s it for tonight. Baby duty calls. Thanks for shopping and…

EAT WELL,
Justin
