Carolina Foothills, SC:  Special Summer Event


A Special Event

Mr. Riley Johnson, Seneca’s special events coordinator, has recently received a grant to hold a one-time event he is calling an “Organic Garden Party,” in downtown Seneca. Among the family style activities to be promoted, set-ups at no charge will be provided for local farmers to sell their produce, baked goods, cheeses and other aftermarket products. Mr. Riley is looking for input as to the best date (month and day of the week) to hold the event. He also would like to issue invitations to the local producers to sell at this summer market.

For more information, please contact: Riley Johnson, 864-723-3910, rhjohnson@seneca.sc.us.

Fisher's Produce Tulsa:  Praising God for rain


Today we remembered those who have served our country. We also spent the weekend on break after a good asparagus season. We finished picking on Friday and then spent Sunday and Monday on a family canoe outing. We just got home this evening. We were please to find that it rained an inch while we were gone!!

I just looked over the garden tonight and am doing a late posting here. We still have some strawberries and asparagus available this week. Also, we are getting more squash and have a few cucumbers. We plan to start posting tomatoes next week! Also, I will check the field for new potatoes tomorrow. I am thinking that if we don’t dig any this week, that we for sure will next week.

This week’s CSA shares will likely include:

Broccoli
Rainbow chard
an herb (cilantro, basil, parsley, or dill as you please ,as available. I will harvest more basil and cilantro than dill and parsley).
Summer squash
A few early pulled bulb sweet onions
beets and carrots

This is an A-week delivery to Brookside, South Tulsa, Beggs, and Okmulgee. We are at Brookside from 7:30-11:00am and at the Spirit Event Center from 12:00-12:30.

Please have orders in by noon, but the sooner the better.

Champaign, OH:  Being Kind and Showing The Love


Strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hand,
Everybody’s playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band…(Scarlet Begonias, Grateful Dead)

The title of this weblog has to do with the kindness of strangers. The banding together of the community spirit. The communal brotherhood that emerges when you need it.

I just got back from my weekend away at a music festival. Whenever I slip behind the gates of a music festival, set up camp, and greet my yearly friends, I feel an almost immediate friendly connection. A weekend away, amazing Grateful Dead music, a beautiful farm surrounding the grounds, and strangers who become friends, all weekend long.

Once the festival is over, and everything is packed up, you hug your friends that you will not see until next year, you shout goodbyes to your weekend neighbors that you shared laughs, coffee, wine, food with.

As you begin the drive back out of the gates, down the winding drive of the beautiful farm called, Maggie’s Farm, you take one last look back, smile, and also become a bit sad to see the empty stages, all of the tents coming down, and knowing that at the end of the lane, reality waits to take you back to the everyday.

I always feel so lucky to be a part of such a kind, loving rich fabric of friendship.

Just like at this market…strangers meeting, customers and vendors becoming friendly, trust and bonds are built.

It makes me happy to also see this kind, loving rich fabric of friendship and respect so strong even in our everyday, through our market.

As we start the week, as we start the summer, as we place our orders, today and tomorrow, let the theme of being kind and showing some love lead your way…

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
