MORNINGSIDE FARMS   MorningSide Farm is a Certified Organic Farm.    We have put into production, land that has been ignored by modern agriculture for over 50 years.  Consequently, it is free of all the common chemical compounds found on conventional farms today.    Cover crops are planted in the fall to stabilize the soil, sequester nutrients and add biomass to the soil.    The soil is fortified with compost made available by local horse and livestock farms.  It is further amended with naturally occurring and organically approved minerals.    When available, we choose organically produced seeds.  In our greenhouse, we utilize locally created and organically approved potting soils.  Our trays and containers are manufactured locally.     Heat is provided to the greenhouse via a wood gasification boiler that burns with 90% efficiency.  The wood is grown and cut on the farm.    We control weeds with crop rotation, plastic and compost mulch, and mechanically.  And when all else fails, painstakingly by hand.    We control insects and microbial pests with crop rotation, mulch, floating row cover, beneficial microbes and organically approved biologically based agents.    Our crops are promptly harvested when ripe and delivered fresh.    At the Tremont Farmers' Market today: Sweet Potatoes - Japanese and Common, Red and Yellow Onions, Parsnips, Carrots, Parsley, Sage, Thyme, Fresh Ginger, Garlic, Kale, Mustard Greens, Napa Cabbage, Savoy Cabbage, Beets - Golden and Common, Swiss Chard, Spinach, Lettuce Heads, Salad Mix, Bok Choi, Tatsoi, Winter Squash, Watermelon Radish, Salad Turnips, Potatoes.        Our WKYC Weather Fairy Holly Strano!     Every week our favorite weather fairy waves her magic wand and keeps us warm and dry at the Tremont Farmers' Market!   Check out your Tuesday shopping forecast at  WKYC WEATHER   EBT PROUDLY ACCEPTED  EBT PRODUCE PERKS!  Starting in May of 2012, customers utilizing the Ohio Direction Card at participating famers' markets throughout Cuyahoga County can receive extra money or PRODUCE PERKS (in the form of market-dispensed tokens) towards the purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables. To receive your PRODUCE PERKS locate the Customer Service booth at any of the 17 participating farmers' market and use your Ohio Direction Card to purchase tokens. The farmers' market will provide a dollar-for-dollar match (up to $10) in PRODUCE PERKS tokens that can be used to purchase fresh produce from local farmers. "Produce Perks" will be redeemable at all participating markets and will be available while supplies last. How does this incentive differ from last year? Last year Ohio Direction Card customers were able to receive an extra $5 for every transaction they made for $5 or more at participating farmers' markets to use on all Ohio Direction Card eligible food items. The 2012 incentive is limited for use on fruits and vegetables only and starts with the first dollar you spend.

Happenings at Gordon Square Farmers' Market Saturday

Hello fellow eaters:

I know that we are coming to the end of the year because my swiss chard froze on Friday night.  So did the beautiful lettuce and snap peas that belong to my fellow community gardeners.  Now, if we had row covers the chard and lettuce might still be going, so, maybe next year (did I say that last year?).  When I was picking on Friday evening after work to salvage as much as possible, I was the only person in the garden, something that is very unusual for most of gardening season.  Being in the garden at dusk by myself with very cold fingers reminded me that a large percentage of the fun that I have as a community gardener comes from working in the garden with other gardeners so we can chat and speculate and plan and complain about the devil's grass that is trying to invade our fence line and plots, etc.  This is also one of the things that I like about the farmers' market, and about which I have not written  much this year:  it is a public meeting place where you do not have to pay to gain admission, people are interested in food, people care about neighborhood and urban issues, there is good coffee, and, did I mention that there is good food and folks to suggest ways to prepare that food.  And it is a public sphere over which anyone who is interested and has some stick-to-it-tiveness can have a say (ahem, so if you are interested in helping out with the market in any way, let anyone at the market know; there is lots to do).  The reason that I mention all of this now, gentle eater, is that while many folks are enjoying seasonal get-togethers in December, we are heading into the hibernation months, when it takes more effort to be neighborly, because we are not all outside doing stuff and we have to climb snow mountains to walk anywhere.  But we should make the effort, because neighborliness is a good habit to have.  So, in addition to coming to the market on Saturday-- with an empty stomach, because there are going to be many ready-to-eat delights--we should make the effort to continue our conviviality through the cold and dark months.  We can have potlucks and be community eaters through the winter, too, while thinking, dreaming ahead for our gardens and markets.  Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.

Thank you for coming to the market and for thinking and acting in favor of local food and food systems, your correspondent, julie lindstrom
