Fisher's Produce:  More peaches!

Hello friends,

For those who haven’t heard, we had a baby boy on Monday night! We are super excited. His name is Luke Russell Fisher. He and his mommy are both doing well.

We also have 12 more boxes of organic peaches! They are really great, and we would like to see them enjoyed this week. We will be in Bristow at the Tractor Supply parking lot tomorrow (Thursday) from 5:00-6:00 pm. Give us a call or email if you would like us to bring you in a box (or more!).

We have two varieties:

Sierra Rich: half or whole boxes for 2.00/lb. 20 lb boxes. Smaller amounts by-the-pound for 2.50. Large size, great color and flavor. Our favorite!

Lucky 13: 1.50/lb. Smaller size, good flavor. Ripe and ready to eat. This is what our family has been freezing.

In addition to peaches, we will have tomatoes, okra, eggplant peppers, and homemade bread at the stand tomorrow. Come on out!

Blessings,

Luke

Miami County Locally Grown:  With a heavy heart...

I am heartbroken to have to share tragic news. So many of you have regularly inquired about Violet, the unforgettable little girl of one of our dearest friends and former vendors, after hearing her diagnosis with brain cancer last October.

You can visit the Facebook page @violetbensman where her parents have chronicled her journey with brain cancer, and where they’ve shared that on Sunday her brave and remarkable battle had come to an end.

From her incredible mother Katie: “Our girl has gone home. Our beautiful Violet passed away Sunday afternoon – the Day of Consecration of Children to Saint Philomena. She was granted a peaceful death at home surrounded by her loving family. We are heartbroken, and yet thankful she will never suffer again – she is finally running and dancing and singing her heart out again. Please continue to pray for strength and peace for her 2 little sisters, parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends who love her dearly – and forgive the weather today – the Earth is mourning the loss of a beautiful soul.”

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Aug 25, 2019

i was out in the orchards this weekend past, the 100 yr orchard and the 2008 orchard I planted. They suffered (enjoyed?) horticultural neglect this season. Not pruned as they should have been, not sprayed with biological nutrients, not mulched raminal wood chips. So there is some insect damage on the peaches, pears, apples mainly. But what a bountiful harvest it will be! Trees just loaded with apples, including my fav in the 100yr orchard on the hill: it was hit by lightning in 2007 just before I came on this land. Really gobsmacked it was, right in two, and the old trunk was already hollowed out to a mere shell. But I let it be, encouraged certain new shoots, pruned away others. Now a whole new trunk is growing up from the base of the old. But wonder of it all, both new and old decimated tree are bearing a bumper crop of beautiful apples. I can hardly wait, well, I haven’t really, I’ve already been tasting them! Pretty tart just yet, but wait till they redden (and I’ve pruned way some of the excess watershoots so the sunlight can stimulate the colour and the flavour). We’ll have a harvest to be grateful for.

New this week: freshly dug potatoes to go along with the onions last week. Tomatoes of various sizes and varieties are now ripened. Aronia berries for the savant connaisseurs of natural immune booster berries are ripe to pick.

The rest is the same as last week. By the way I usually don’t wash our vegetables. Even washing removes nutritional value I believe.

We have basil, carrots, zukes, spinach, radicchio, onions, beets and tops, beans, kale, collards, potatoes and tomatoes, and eggplant and peppers. Limited peaches for those of you eager for organic. (peaches are one of the ‘dirty dozen’ with high pesticide residues)

Climate Quote of the week:
Roger Hallam, co-founder Extinction Rebellion: Roger emphasizes that now is the time for all of us to unite, to put any ideological differences between us into their proper context and to suspend any animosity towards others with different points of view. Or as Roger puts it, “We don’t have time to be snotty”. Solidarity, unity in diversity, compassion and love for all life… these are our antidotes to the massive climate and ecological crisis that confronts us. Watch this youtube for the whole 17 minute talk.
