Champaign, OH: Junior's Farm
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Down to Junior’s farm where I want to lay low
The low life, high life, oh, let’s go
Take me down to Junior’s farm…
(Wings – Junior’s Farm)
It was an amazing day out in Fletcher at Lee and Jennifer Ruff’s farm!! They are the most delightful and interesting couple with plenty of tales that weave their dating, farming, marriage all into a sweet and hilarious life.
The drive down their lane was so pretty and you could catch a glimpse of Lee finishing up his afternoon chore list. We were greeted by Jennifer who gave us a bit of history of them, their past plans, future plans, and how they came to be on this little, sustainable, organic/chem free farm.
It is amazing what these two accomplish…they are out there, every single day, doing it all. We saw their beautiful fields, their chickens, their pigs, got to see the beautiful lettuce that is growing and that they bring to us, each week. They showed us where the sorghum action all happens. Lee has moved buildings, they have cultivated a life that involves just about everything they are growing, butchering, planning.
The tour ended all too soon and I enjoyed the day so very much!!
I would love for each of you to think about conducting a farm tour. It was so exciting to see another one of our growers/producers in their habitat.
This little market is so fortunate to offer so many unique growers/producers, all with different backgrounds, different visions, different goals. It brings us all together, one story at a time, and allows us to bring such a colorful backdrop to our customers, each week.
This finds us on a Sunday night after a busy week for most of us. Think about the week to come, and think about how busy you will be. Think about how the growers and producers, of this market, want to do the work for you! Place your trust in us, your faces of all things local, and we will make the week a bit easier for all of you…
It’s already a rock and roll kind of market on a Sunday night with all kinds of orders and SO MANY NEW CUSTOMERS!! Keep it up!! Let’s blow the market out of it’s best record!!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
Martin's Farmstand: Strawberries
We will be open for strawberry picking at 7 AM tommorrow (Monday) morning. I just was walking around and looking things over. The strawberries were picked very hard yesterday including some of the green tip berries that should have been for tommorrow. This along with the fact that it is still early in the season means the picking is not going to be real good and probably will not last long in the morning. I see about 300 -400 quarts for tommorrow. The next picking after tommorrow will be Wednesday afternoon starting at 2 PM. (no morning picking on Wed.)The time period from June 25 -July 2 is when the berries will be the most abundant.
The online market is open for orders. We have garlic scapes now. I found a simple way to fix them that is good. I just put a bit of oil into the blender and chopped the scapes into the oil along with a bit of salt. It makes a nice pesto type of thing. I used it as a spread on my sandwich or it can go into any recipe that wishes for a mild fresh garlic flaver. Daniel

Hello!
Happy Summer! The heat has certainly kicked in and we are in full on summer mode! You will definitely notice the leafy greens transitioning out in the coming weeks, as we head into those fruits lucious summer fruits of tomatoes, squashes, and cucumbers . However, this week we continue to have a nice combination of late spring veggies with the summer ones. We’ll continue to have lots of cabbage for slaw, and soon those fresh dug potatoes will be in!
The Peach Truck will continue to be with us through the summer. Try some fresh peaches with some of Dozen Bakery’s shortcakes and ice cream for an easy summer dessert. If you want something even easier, you’ve got to try a Peach Gallette!
Also, if you are a customer who picks up Wednesday morning at Westhaven in Franklin, let us know if you would like for us to get you some peaches! We can get them for you on Wednesday.
Please support all our local providers – little Seed Farm soap, Tru Bee honey, Twin Forks Farm Breads, the Bloomy Rind cheese shop, Wedge Oak farm eggs and meat, and Bear Creek Farm meats.
Once again, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee

Farm Where Life is Good: FarmWLIG Online Market Closed Wk 26
Melons all lined up, for now. Just wait a month for the twisty-macrame-hodgepodge.
Farm Where Life is Good
No Online Market this week, but regular Produce Subscription/CSA delivery is planned
We are very sorry for our inability to service the Online Market this week. We hope to open again next week!
All of the teenaged melon transplants are firmly seated in their new field homes. Several of the annual herbs are spreading their transplanted roots as well this weekend (with at least one day of dryness!) Beans are poking about 4" above the soil (new one this year— Fava Beans…any Hannibal fans?) Peas have been eaten down to within 1" of the soil by troublesome deer. Cucumbers and squash are getting painted white tomorrow with kaolin clay against the pesky beetles. Specialty and pickling field cucumbers are also getting their trellises installed to start their climbing lives.
Sounds like a lot of activity to not be able to open the market. Sad but true. This weird spring (and Rog’s weird belly) have things all turned around. But starting to straighten out.
Produce Subscription/CSA boxes look like:
Napa/Chinese cabbage
Spring cabbage
Broccolini
Lettuce
Potatoes
Kale
Salad mix
Herb bundle
Have a happy week.
We hope to feed you soon!
