NEWS FROM FOUNTAIN SPRINGS FARM
We will be in this week (Sept. 16th), then we will be on vacation the following week. So if you need chicken that week, please order and pick up THIS WEEK.

Also, all our turkeys are spoken for this year. Those of you who have placed deposits, kindly let us know the weights you’d like if you have not done so already. See you at Thanksgiving with your turkeys.

Thank you,
Suzanne

CUSTOMER QUESTION / REQUEST
I am trying to find a local supplier of beef jerky. I was wondering if you knew of any butcher or vendor who made beef jerky. What we can buy in the grocery store is a bit scary, and I’d love to find a local person. Anyone out there? Let us know!

TOUR WITH THE BAREFOOT FARMER
The Tennessee Organic Growers Assoc.(TOGA) is organizing a tour of Long Hungry Creek Farms owned and operated by Jeff Poppen, known as the “Barefoot Farmer.” The tour will be this Sunday, September 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and will be free except for the transportation to and from the farm starting at the Nashville Farmers Market. Depending upon response, we may combine rental vans and/or car pooling. So please register soon so we may coordinate the logistics. Free lunch will be provided by the Long Hungry Creek staff!

Long Hungry Creek Farm was created in the 1970s and is still operated by Jeff who practices an organic method of farming called biodynamic, and sometimes referred to as “beyond organic.” Simply stated, Jeff’s method of farming not only provides a prodigious supply of great produce for his CSA members and community, but it enhances his land and protects our watershed. I have often stated, that if all inputs stopped flowing into Middle Tennessee, Jeff’s farm would most likely keep producing because it is one of the most self-sufficient farms in the state. Jeff is a multi-faceted farmer and very generous with his time, expertise, and his produce.

Please register soon at http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07e9nmc6zh23af945f&llr=djzrg9lab.

See you there!

DAYSPRING FARM OFFERS
Pumpkins, butternut squash, and eggs.

We farm organically and almost all our seeds are heritage varieties obtained from seed saver exchanges. The ones that are not, are organic varieties. Our animals are all pasture raised with no antibiotics or hormones and our chickens have had only non-GMO feed in addition to their ranging. We are excited to be bringing these products to the market.

No Freezer Available at Community Center


Please be sure you do not leave your order behind today. We still do not have a freezer available, which means if you have ordered anything frozen it will be placed in the fridge. We have only limited fridge space available. If, for some reason, you cannot get to the market or ask someone else to pick up your order, please get your left-behind order WITHIN 24 hours.

Thanks!

No Freezer at the Community Center


Beginning today, there will not be a freezer at the Community Center for the foreseeable future. If you have orders that are left-behind and contain items that would ordinarily go in the freezer, they will be put into the refrigerator.

We strongly suggest not leaving frozen items in the fridge for more than an hour or two beyond the close of market and then only as an extreme emergency.

Contact us if you have any questions:

CALLING ALL CUSTOMERS!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your patience during last week’s market. Unfortunately, sometimes circumstances beyond their control prevent our growers from arriving on time. Fortunately, everything turned out OK, and we truly appreciate your willingness to work with us.

Also, thanks for the incredible outpouring of BAGS for our customers!

Don’t forget…

PLEASE do not write out your checks ahead of your market pickup. Growers can sometimes remove items at the last minute, and this will affect your invoice. So, kindly wait until your total is established at market. Thanks so much.

We continue to hear from customers who are sure they have placed their orders only to find nothing waiting for them at market. REMEMBER—If you do not receive an order confirmation within 5 minutes, your order has NOT been placed in the system. E-MAIL OR CALL US to get the problem solved so you will not be disappointed on market day.
