Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market:  This Week at the Market

The tomatoes and cucumbers are finally coming in! I also got a couple okra so those are around the corner too! I won’t list them yet until I get a steady harvest. They’ll be in the stand as they come in.
Hoping to dry up after the storm and spend lots of time in the gardens this week.
Thanks for all your support of our market!

Champaign, OH:  Can't You See

Ride me a southbound, all the way to Georgia now…
(The Marshall Tucker Band)

Can’t You See…well, what a perfect Monday morning song…for one, who doesn’t just want to belt this tune out, whenever you hear it? Two, Can’t You See how amazing this market is, each and every week? Three…I’ve seen this band, more times than I can count, all across the United States. Not as much as I’ve seen The Grateful Dead, but it’s been a whole lot of times.

And, this song, in my bag of trivia about my life…

When I lived in California, a bunch of us were running around on our day off from our monthly flight schedules. I used to have a friend who lived in London, but also had a house in Malibu. When that friend was in town, the house was a big party. One day, we were all kicking around in that area of the beach, I was checking the times because I had about 32 hours before I had to check in to work a three day trip to New York, and then we all decided to head out to dinner. We were walking along, and there was a crowd all gathered on the beach. We could hear music, so we went to investigate. And, blowing our minds were the likes of Little Feat band members, a few Marshall Tucker members, and Jimmy Buffett. All just jamming away. Most incredible. And, everyone was just chill, just appreciating the vibe. The gift. And, then they all started playing this song, with their own variations.

More trivia…I used to be friends with a band in Florida. A cover band, but they were amazing. One birthday, they called me up on stage to sing this plus another song. (You know my voice, and you know I cannot sing…lol…but, hey, a few cocktails in, and…)

Anyway, all of my rambling to say it’s Monday, and can’t you see…you must get those market orders in…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Have a sunshine kind of week…and, always carry a song in your heart…

Martin's Farmstand:  Upick Monday

We will open for u-pick strawberries tomorrow morning Monday June 26, 2023. This is the peak of strawberry season. That said I have seen much higher peaks than this year has. I just returned from walking the patches. There is a nice amount of berries out there with picking conditions somewhere in the middle- not terrible or wonderful. I judge that this will just be the way it is this year as the total crop is limited.
Saturdays picking totaled about 800 lbs. To put this in perspective 3000 to 4,500 lbs would be more normal for a Saturday during peak strawberry season. The produce auction has been having less than 10% of the normal strawberry volume so most of the strawberry growers have been effected as much or more than we have. So be patient with us if you are getting less than you wish for. I have 8,000 new plants started so next year has potential as we are doing our part. Daniel
