ALFN Local Food Club: Can't We All Just Get Along?
Spread the word and bring a friend! ALFN is honored to be chosen for Whole Foods Market’s Community Giving Day. On Tuesday, August 19th, we will be at Whole Foods from 9AM to 7PM meetin’ and greetin’ fellow lovers of great food, and sharing our mission with the community. Stop by and say hi, while shopping for all the quality groceries you might not be able to source locally. (Mmm, avocado…) In fact, stock up on everything in the store! Whole Foods is generously donating 5% of the day’s sales to ALFN to help us achieve our goals. So if you yearn for things that don’t grow so well here in The Natural State (fair trade coffee, anyone?) now is your chance to stock up guilt free. Can’t imagine what you might need that’s not on The Market? Allow me to make some suggestions:
Coconut Oil. Although it has a myriad of uses and almost as many health benefits, I keep it on hand because it’s just plain tasty for roasting certified organic green beans and Romano beans from Armstead Mountain Farm.
Grains. There’s a wide variety of grains available in the bulk bins these days. Whether it’s millet or quinoa, amaranth or rice, there’s bound to be a grain out there well suited to your nutritional needs. What they all have in common is the ability to pair swimmingly with Arkansas Natural Produce’s Swiss chard, and White River Creamery’s American Feta.
Tofu. Scrambled, chili-ed, or loaf-ed, tofu is best when jazzed up with flavor packed sweet colored peppers from Rattle’s Garden and chive scapes from Food for Thought Farm.
There’s no shame in having a shelf or even a whole pantry full of not-so-locally-sourced ingredients, especially if they’re high quality and sustainably sourced. In fact, keeping a few imports on hand keeps a mostly local menu interesting by incorporating nutrients and flavors our climate doesn’t really offer. So if you find yourself occasionally thinking outside the state when dinnertime rolls around, prepare a lengthy list and set any semblance of guilt aside in preparation for next Tuesday. If your tastes are global, this is your change to support the local food community by getting exactly what you want. Maybe we really can all get along.

South Cumberland Farmer's Market: Can't Have Left-Behind Orders Today ! !
The Sewanee Community Center has asked us to not leave ANY food on the counters in the kitchen.
The fridge would not be large enough to accommodate more than a couple of orders, especially if they were large.
So, PLEASE pick up your orders today — and every Tuesday — by 6:15. We leave at 6:15, and will have no choice but to take the orders with us for the foreseeable future. We don’t want to do that because we don’t have that kind of fridge space, either.
If this is a problem for you for today’s orders, please call Kir at 931.592.3399 (no voice mail) or 931.636.0467 BEFORE 2:00 p.m. today to arrange a delivery.

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, Week of Aug 10 2014
Writing tuesday am, we got 20ml rain last nite, starting right after we got the hay in the barn. Thank you so much to Kate and son, Crystal, Kaelin and daughters for your helping hands.
Beefsteak tomatoes are ripe in the greenhouse now, along with the yellow plum minis. The beans are ready to harvest, purple and green varieties.
As well the zukes, cukes, vegetable marrow, beets, carrots, mixed salad, eggplants, garlic, peppers, herbs, and chard.
There is beef in the freezer and roasting chickens fresh from the butcher, all raised here on pasture of course.
Camelia has made up another batch of cuke relish and pesto.
We could really use recycled grocery bags and sacks, along with egg cartons.
Come on out!
Healthy eating,
Ian and Camelia
South Cumberland Farmer's Market: CALLING ALL CUSTOMERS!
In case you missed Saturday’s blog, here it is again!
Please remember to bring bags when you come to market to pick up your orders. If you have extras, please bring them for others. Thanks so much.
Please don’t write out your checks ahead of your market pickup. Growers can sometimes remove items at the last minute, and this will affect your invoice. So, kindly wait until your total is established at market. Thanks so much.
We continue to hear from customers who are sure they have placed their orders only to find nothing waiting for them at market. REMEMBER—If you do not receive an order confirmation within 5 minutes, your order has NOT been placed in the system. E-MAIL OR CALL US to get the problem solved so you will not be disappointed on market day.
AND the market is still looking for delivery drivers for Monteagle and Sewanee. Since you’re at the market anyway, why not pick up an order for a friend or neighbor and get paid, too! You just need to be dependable and detail oriented. If interested, please call Linda at 931-592-8384.
