Pledge Allegiance to Local Food!
|
|
Local Food is food produced within the "local foodshed' in the Central Ohio River Valley Watershed within 100 miles of Cincinnati.
Making a 10% shift in buying or producing local food does not mean all of your food has to be local. It just means shifting what you currently eat to include 10% more locally grown and/or produced food.
If 10% of the regional population takes the pledge it will result in over $49,000,000 infused into the local economy and 544 local jobs! Plus, it's better for the environment and a healthier option.

Greetings!
We never know what Mother Nature will deliver. Our rich farmland has become hard and dry making it a challenge for our farmers to work the land and keep everything growing and for that matter alive. Not only is the earth hard to work the conditions for the farmers is brutal. Yet, each day they work their farms to provide local fresh food to your table.
Thank you for supporting the Bellevue Farmers Market and our community of farmers. During this drought it's appreciated even more.

This Saturday, at Nancy's stand, you will find limited quantities and cuts of pastured goat meat, also baby squash & blossoms from the best - and bravest - stand of squash plants in 24 years. And lots more newly harvested garlic (but quickly cured by - guess what? - the heat) - California White, Chrysalis Purple, German White and Nancy's favorite Spanish Roja. Nancy's also hoping for some Lambsquarters, Chives, Rosemary and Bay - depending how it looks by Friday.
On Friday morning our market manager, Tony Bove Will be making his way to Shady Grove Farm to help tend the goats with Nancy. In our next e-newsletter we'll share this urban dweller's experiences from the farm.

Atwood Village Family Farm
Now offering Carabello Coffee - Taste the Difference!
Amy is carrying
at our market! Cold brew method (steeped in cold water for 18 hrs ) iced coffee by the cup as well as 12 oz. bags of whole bean Honduran coffee are available. The coffee is roasted by Justin and Emily Carabello of Newport and roasted at Velocity Bike and Bean in Florence, Ky. Carabello Coffee strives to offer the very best in quality fair trade, organic, and farm gate coffees. What is farm gate? It is a way for coffee roasters to buy straight from the farmers at a price that is a minimum of %100 higher than even fair trade. As they've researched-sometimes fair trade isn't really that fair! Farm gate allows real faces to be attached to this product. Real people really grow and process this coffee, not a machine! Carabello Coffee is roasted and bagged just days before it reaches you, and you'll be able to tell the difference fresh makes!
Atwood Village Family Farm will have kale, golden and ruby red chard, kohlrabi and garlic. Get your grill on with their pastured meats-1 lb packages of ground goat, goat chorizo sausage, jalapeno/pepperjack brats, ground lamb and whole chickens - all from animals they raised at their small family farm in Independence, KY. They will be baking multigrain ciabattas with organic ingredients-garlic, rosemary/potato, and maybe some other flavors too! Lemon balm sour cream cakes, chocolate mint cookies will be available for your holiday treats! Plan ahead and figure out what you can do with fresh cut herbs including rosemary, thyme, spearmint, oregano, basil, lemon balm. and catnip.

And not to forget beets, carrots, Swiss chard, Blue Lake, Half Runner and wax beans, green onions, garlic, kale, free range eggs and more. Vicky will be busy on Friday evening baking sweet treats for you including fresh fruit cobblers. They look forward to seeing all of you Saturday!

Greensleeves Farm
Free-range eggs
Those colorful eggs from Greensleeves will now be labeled Free-Range. The "girls," formerly moved around in their chicken tractors to fresh pasture twice daily, now have free range of the farm. This change gets them under the blackberry bushes during the heat of the day, where they are much happier clucking and scratching. Now, last night Gretchen was a little late getting back to the farm, the chickens were raising a fuss, and yikes, there was a skunk in one of the open-doored chicken tractors. Thankfully the skunk was shooed back outside and no one was sprayed!
In addition to the eggs, Greensleeves will have more ginger plant starts, and growing directions so you can enjoy your own fresh ginger this fall. More kale, lots of garlic, featuring Killarney Red, a great full-flavored hardneck, this week, and Triple Crown blackberries, so find your favorite cobbler recipe.
As a customer at the market, we know you appreciate fresh local food. If you want to continue your access to fresh produce through December, talk to Gretchen at the Greensleeves stand. A new fall CSA will start the first week in October and continue until Christmas. Shades will include potatoes and sweet potatoes, dry beans for soups, winter squash, peppers, tomatoes and eggplants until frost, and lots of fresh fall greens.

Eco-friendly cleaning products
In order to protect our loved ones and our planet Ann offers eco-friendly cleaning products made from safe natural ingredients and scented with 100% Pure Essential Oil.
Choosing green cleaning with nontoxic and biodegradable products not only protects our freshwater supplies and aquatic ecosystems it also prevents the buildup of chemical residues in our homes and improves our indoor air quality.
GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK: LEMON POWER
If you want to kill bacteria without having to clean off the residue left by most chemical cleaning products, why not use a lemon?
The acids contained in lemon juice kill off the bacteria. Lemon juice can disinfect most kitchen worktops as well as bathroom sinks and surfaces. The juice kills bacteria in a natural way and leaves a fresh fragrance.
Why not try adding a small amount of lemon juice to drinking water to ensure that no bacteria are surviving there?
