The Online Village Market is Open!
Sunday Aug. 28th, 2011
We have over 400 food items, including a large selection of various meats and cuts, veggies, herbs, baked goods and prepared foods, and 40 live plants listed this week. Check out the other listings too!
Back online: Ratchford Farms buffalo, elk and beef products; Arkansas Natural Produce veggies, herbs and mushrooms and ABC Nature Greenhouse.
This note from ABC:
“It has been an unbearable 15 weeks here at A B C Nature Greenhouse and Herb Farm. But I believe we are going to be seeing cooler temps so we are going to be going back on line this week. Since the weather has finally broke and it is running low or high 90’s, we will be able to deliver again to your lovely market.
We lost so many plants during the heat bubble that was over us for over 15 weeks. We don’t have alot of one kind, so please let people know we will be delivering and if they don’t see what they want, please have them email me at abcnatur@cswnet.com "
ABC Nature Greenhouse and Ratchford Farms do not arrive at the market until about 2:30 on Friday so please take that into consideration when picking up your order.
This is a good time to start thinking of fall plantings.

Quote from John Biscoe, Glenburnie Farm Produce Company, from the USDA Blog http://blogs.usda.gov “How Farmers Markets Help Producers”. I’m sure he speaks for many farmers.
“The farmers market is the missing link between me as a grower and the people who eat the food that I grow. At the market I see the direct results of my labors: individuals who like to eat the things I grow because they taste good and are good for them. You meet brave souls who love to try food they’ve never had before. You see that tomatoes are more than just a commodity—they are a part of people’s lives on some level. It has often been said that face time between producers and consumers at farmers markets creates a more vested consumer, but in my case it certainly makes a more vested producer.”
