See you at one of our two pickup locations this week! The Manchester location may have some traffic issues due to the celebration on the square, which begins at 4. If possible, choose a different route to get to market that avoids that area.

Market News
Hello!
There’s plenty of good stuff still available including blueberries and tomatoes.
The Market will remain open until Tuesday evening for you to place an order for this week.
Here is some information on how Fresh Harvest works.
*If you see an item as Sold Out, write in the Comment section at check out that you would like that item if more becomes available. We’ll try our best to add it to your order.
*PayPal payments have to be manually added to your account. There will be a delay to crediting your account due to me needing to take time to do the bookkeeping. I also have to go to each account with cash or check payments. These are sometimes delayed by procrastination or being busy. You can still place an order even though it may cause your account to be “overdrawn”. There is no penalty for going into the minus column. Sometimes I’m a little slow in getting to the bank to make deposits, but it eventually happens.
• If you recruit a new customer to Fresh Harvest and they open an account with a $50 deposit, we will credit your account $10 for each new customer who signs up. They will need to tell me your name, so that I can credit your account. Word of mouth has been our best advertising. Any help that you can provide is greatly appreciated.
• Every week, we leave orders at the church for customers who cannot arrive at Trinity before 6pm. This has worked well for those who have difficulty with the 4-6pm window. Please let me know if you need me to leave your order at the church.
• The bag that you receive each week is to be brought back with your next order. We have been negligent in telling new customers how this works. Don’t feel bad if you return multiple bags, it happens all the time.
• We’re into reusing and recycling. Our clean egg cartons, honey jars, paper and plastic bags, berry containers are some of the items that we can reuse. If we can’t reuse the returned items, we’ll recycle them.
• We do guarantee everything that we sell. If you ever have a problem, please let us know and we will credit your account.
• If there are other products or growers that you think should be a part of Fresh Harvest, please let me know.
Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!

Siloam Springs, AR: Online Market is Open!!
www.siloamsprings.locallygrown.net
This Saturday is Samples of the Season at the market! Join us under the pergola in front of the kitchen and get a taste of a few of the seasonal items available at market. Sampling begins at 9 a.m and ends when the samples run out.
One of our favorite musicians will be here Saturday – Sam Thompson. He will play from 10-noon.
Tomatoes have made it to market! I’ve purchased slicers and cherry tomatoes. There are still greens like chard and kale, lettuce, green beans, potatoes, squash and zucchini, onions, garlic, cucumbers, and okra should soon debut. We’ve got some great locally made baked goods, hot jams (think jalapeno lemon, mango jalapeno, blueberry jalapeno, etc), regular fruit jams, local pecans, pies, eggs, poultry and pork. Blueberry season is almost over and the sweetest berries this season are being picked now. If you’ve been waiting now is the time to get them before the season is over!
You can buy hand crafted cutting boards, rolling pins, and more. Thomas Stanford, a local artist, is accepting commissioned work. Check out his beautiful art displayed in his booth. Ding-A-Ling Designs makes the most amazing aprons – one of my favorites is her harvesting apron. Perennial Gardens has beautiful bedding plants, herbs, and flowers. Get some mustard and use it to make a dressing for salad, a dip for fresh veggies, or a marinade for meats.
Nice Ice has joined us at market on Saturdays so you can cool off with a sno cone. The kids can play in the water feature while you listen to music and then your family can get a lunch from Little Free Lunch at 11:30. Start your Saturday morning at the farmers market in beautiful Memorial Park!
Our online market is low on inventory right now because the farmers are bringing everything to the market. You can get your chicken and pork at from the vendors directly even though it doesn’t show up online. You can pre-order eggs, pies, and gourmet mustards.
Have a great week and see you Saturday!

Many of the ALG vendors sell at multiple markets, so you can find plenty of good food at these and other area markets while we take the week off. Have a happy Fourth!

Market News
Hello!
The Mystery T-shirt – It’s usually not very exciting going through the two tubs that are filled with returned Fresh Harvest bags, egg cartons, etc. A couple of weeks ago while organizing the returned items, I found a new t-shirt still in it’s plastic bag with the logo: Know Your Farmer. Seemed like an appropriate message for my line of work. One option is that I have a secret admirer who wanted to give me a gift, but was too shy to tell me. The more likely option is that someone mistakenly put it in the FH tub. Not knowing how to locate the depositor of the t-shirt, I wore it at pick up last Wednesday thinking maybe someone would say: “What are you doing wearing my t-shirt?” No one laid claim to the shirt. If you mistakenly gave it to me, I will gladly return it to you. Only worn once, but washed.
Some items are easy to count in order to have a good guess as to the quantity to list at the Market. Others are quite challenging. We have two of those items this week, cherry tomatoes and okra. I’m guessing 20 on each of those, but think that I’m underestimating the count. I’ll be updating the amount available as we begin to harvest the okra and cherry tomatoes. As usual, just let me know if an item is sold out and I’ll add you to the list.
4th of July is coming, time to grill! Lots of great items like hamburger patties/ground beef or steaks. Wedge Oak processed chickens last week. They have whole chickens and halves, also Cornish Hens andPoussin/Spring Chicken.
Plenty of blueberries are still available, lots of slicing tomatoes. Bloomy Rind is back with cheeses. Green Peppers and Green Tomatoes have been added to the Market.
The Peach Truck has freestone peaches this week. They will be set up next to us throughout the peach season.
Dozen Bakery cookies and breads, eggs, granola, honey, and coffee are in abundance.
Hemp Honey and Sorghum are available under Honey.
You have until Tuesday night to place your order.
Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!
