ALFN Local Food Club:  The Market is Open and Ready for New Year's Eve!


Howdy Food Clubbers,

The market is open and ready for your traditional Southern New Year’s Eve feast. There’s more than a few stories on why we eat black-eyed peas, pork, and collard greens to ring in the New Year, but no matter which one you believe, we’ve got all the locally-grown products you need to enjoy it just the same.

  • Though we don’t have the traditional black-eyed peas, I think Kornegay Berry Farm’s purple hull peas will bring you the luck you need to last 2015. Just grab some peas and pork and simmer your way to some home-cooked goodness.
  • There’s plenty of Falling Sky Farm pork to put in with those peas. I’d recommend a ham hock, smoked jowl bacon, or lard to ensure the new year is full of health, prosperity, and well, delicious food.
  • Those of you that really want to bring in the green next year should check out collard greens from Barnhill Orchards or turnip greens from Green Acres Atkins. Throw either of these in with some of that pork, garlic, and broth, then let it simmer all together until your entire house smells like comfort.

Needless to say, the best way to start off the New Year is with healthy, delicious food from our small, sustainable Arkansas farms. In fact, one of our Food Club Coordinators Karl Heinbockel of Natural State Horticare wrote this great post summarizing the current research on the benefits of eating local and organic. Natural State Horticare is an awesome local company that will take care of all your organic lawn care, landscaping, and backyard farming needs. For more great blog posts like this one like their Heights Neighborhood Garden facebook page.

Hope you have a wonderful, safe, loving, and local Christmas!

The Wednesday Market:  Happy Friday! It's Almost Time to Order


Good evening to all of our friends within The Wednesday Market community. We hope you had a good week.

We know that it is a hectic time of year, with everyone dashing around trying to get everything prepared for their celebrations, and we want you to be informed about some changes for our next two ordering cycles.

Because Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve fall on Wednesdays, we are moving the ordering and pick up schedules forward by at least a day.

Therefore, The Wednesday Market will be turned on tonight, December 19, at 10 p.m. to receive orders and will close for ordering on Sunday, December 21, at 10 a.m. Your orders will be available for pick up on Tuesday, December 23, between 3 and 6 p.m.

We will follow the same pattern for the week of New Year’s, turning the system on for orders on Friday, December 26, at 10 p.m. and closing it on Sunday, December 28, at 10 a.m. Pick up will be Tuesday, December 30, between 3 and 6 p.m.

Please be sure to check the website for all of this week’s product listings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

If all of this is too much information to absorb at the moment, do not worry. We will send additional reminders as the deadlines approach.

This has been a phenomenal year for The Wednesday Market! Please take a moment to thank the farmers, beekeepers, bakers, crafters, producers and volunteers who keep the Market going throughout the year. We love our customers and are dedicated to providing you with the best that locally grown agriculture can produce. Thank you for choosing to spend your money here!

Sincerely,

Anna, Beverly, Irma, and Sharon
