Special on Kale: larger bunch for same price.

We’ll have freshly butchered lamb this thursday. You can choose from whole leg, bone or deboned and rolled, loin chops, tenderloin, ground or stew, shanks and rib racks. I’ll have soup bones and organs.
Here’s what the kabobs looked like last time we made them up.

I’m holding one of our soil block flats for starting seedlings.

Cami found some volunteer potatoes poking up through the arugula!

The greenhouse is experiencing a burst of growth with the greens: kale, chard, arugula, cabbage leaves and spinach.

This wednesday is the family food freedom rally in Newmarket. It’s about having choice to eat and know what is in our food. Still room in the cars, leaving Old 99 6:30 am, returning 1pm.

StPete.LocallyGrown.Net:  SPLG Market Resources to Share

Valued Locavores & Potential Resources
Please read until the end or you could miss an opportunity… I am pretty certain that this is the last email you will receive from St. Pete Locally Grown.

As promised, here are the vendors we have dealt with over the years. Please save this email and plan to follow future posts on our Facebook page to keep up with new resources we discover and upcoming agricultural events that will help you grow your own food. I posted several there today! If you don’t do Facebook, you will still find us at stpete.locallygrown.net. But it will be a different website and our handy dandy Weblog page will have disappeared forever—and with it this info on resources. Our new website will focus on community building & sustaining local food resources and connections. For now, our new website is called http://stpetelocallygrown.flavors.me/ I hope you like it!

Please contact the resources below directly with any questions as I am no longer the liaison for their businesses. If there is no contact info then they didn’t provide it.

• Our fabulous pork has been coming from Tenaya Farms in Zephyrhills. They deliver to St. Pete.
• Our beef has been coming from Lake Kersey Farms in Land O’Lakes. You can now buy it from Dunedin.locallygrown.net and pick it up. Or call Eileen Watson at Lake Kersey Farm 813-996-2912 and pick it up there.
• Our seafood comes from Madeira Beach Seafood on the docks. I believe they are willing to sell directly to customers. You will have to call them directly to inquire. 727-393-3382 You have to buy a minimum of 5lbs of shrimp or scallops. You have to buy whole groupers. Last time I was there, it appeared they might be getting ready to open a small retail shop.
• Our lamb came from Alexandra Lake Farm and it was great! There is a definite waiting period (months…) for these animals. Contact Leon Elt at 352-583-1971.
• Purchase locally grown veggies and goods from the Indian Rocks Co-op and pickup at 11401 Starkey Road in Largo. They sell local chickens too, and are reasonably priced. You need to send a request to sign up and check out the pricing and then decide whether or not to join for $10 (a one-time fee with your first order!). They sell raw dairy. Among others, they sell goods from Rebecca’s Bees, Pioneer Settlement Garden, and Mrs. Chippy’s Plant World, all former “Growers” for SPLG. Their list of local chemical-free growers is expanding! This is my new source for whatever I’m not growing myself.
• If you live north of Ulmerton you might want to check out Dunedin.locallygrown.net run by Bree Cheatham. She opened her Market way before I did and is part of the Locallygrown.net family too. She sells The Dancing Goat raw dairy products and has other local veggie resources surrounding Dunedin. It’s a very nice Market!

IMPORTANT If you are a chemical-free veggie resource selling to others, please submit your info/news through the new website at http://stpetelocallygrown.flavors.me. You must confirm that you are chemical-free, include all details of events with location, time and date, and adequate contact info. Sorry but I don’t write copy that is missing. I only copy and paste. I prefer links to attachments if at all possible. When a submission is appropriate & complete, I will post on our new website and on our Facebook page which is followed by over 1400 fans.

Heartfelt appreciation to you all,
Tina, Retired Market Manager, St. Pete Locally Grown

Fresh Harvest, LLC:  Fresh Harvest for March 13th

Market News

Hello!

Longer daylight hours means we will be moving this week down to the lawn, under the big trees at the lower parking lot. We so appreciate Trinity Church allowing us to set up under the porch for the winter months.

Time is running out to sign up for the Pre-Order Bouquet Special ! This is an early spring special offer as a way for you to save some money on flowers this summer. It also helps support Tally’s early season farm needs, like buying seeds, and supplies. This is a low-income time for farmers, and some investment now in the upcoming season is really helpful! And, during these gray days, how wonderful to think of those vibrant, joyful flower bouquets you can order each week during the summer! Pre-pay now for the Bouquet of the Week Club bouquets, and save yourself $20.00! You get 10 weeks of large bouquets for 12.00 each (normally would be $14.00), and can order them whenever it is convenient for you!

We are on an every-other week schedule through March! Stock up this week on what you can . Our next delivery will be on Wednesday, March 30th
What are us farmers doing with all this time off?! Spring planting is heavy upon us. It’s time to plant potatoes, onions, and other cool season crops. We hope the ground dries out long enough for us to prep the dirt for these things! And seeding of all the summer crops is happening now- tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant are all starting off now, and we hope there are no surprise late spring freezes. Lots of weeding happening now as well in the strawberry and garlic patch.

We have a new policy regarding egg cartons. All eggs will now be packed in new cartons each week.* We will no longer be accepting any other egg cartons than the ones you receive your eggs in from us*. This will better help us ensure and monitor quality . If you did not receive the carton from any eggs bought from us, please do not bring it to us to reuse or recycle. Thank you!

We so appreciate your support, and look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

The Wednesday Market:  Ordering Time

Good afternoon!

It’s that time of the week again – ordering time! Please place your orders by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. Wednesday. See the website for all of this week’s listings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

Concord Street Sweets is not listing this week. We have had a death in our extended family. My sister Kimberly’s beloved mother-in-law Carolyn Barnes of Griffin passed away yesterday from Alzheimer’s Disease. We will be spending time this week comforting the family and preparing for the funeral service and hosting out-of-town friends and family.

What a blessing it is to have such fine weather, especially during such a heartbreaking time for my sister and brother-in-law and their children. Springtime reminds us that there is a season unto everything in life. The clear blue sky, fresh green grass, bright flowers blooming, birds singing and bees buzzing are true reminders that winter does not last forever, and that life goes on.

Be sure to hug someone you love today!

Thanks,

Beverly
