Your Tullahoma Locally Grown Market is open today until noon. Please ensure you place your final orders by that time. It is okay if you already submitted an order. Multiple orders are automatically combined. You still have time to order your eggs, milk, breads, vegetables, flowers, candles, and other items. As you know, the weather has been favorable of late. As a result, there are an increasing number of fresh vegetables available at the market. Browse and click with reckless abandonment – you deserve it!
Pickup will be tomorrow (Thursday) from 4:15 to 5:15.

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of May 15 2016
We harvested the first asparagus this weekend so there will be some for thursday, a few lucky people will get the order in early!
The greenhouse has had some hot days which has triggered the ‘bolting’ of the brassicas and spinach and chard too. Pity really, the crop was large and mostly not consumed. Still have lots of kale and lettuces but not as much choice.
Hope is an intractable (as in difficult to manage, deal with, or change to an acceptable condition) but indispensible element in our worldview to cope with every day life, especially now when we are obliged to face widening evidence of climate disruption and habitat destruction. But I found a useful approach by Susanne Moser in her keynote lecture (Conference on Communication and Environment), Hope: A Bridge without Railing. Hope (the word) can be used to describe a continuum from passive optimism (pollyannism)thru active heroic, passive skeptical to active skepticism or grounded hope. If we live in a stuck place between the impossible and the unthinkable, hope of the grounded variety gets us out of bed to do our utmost in spite of great odds.
Glen Murray, Ontario climate Commissioner recently spoke at McMaster about the supreme challenges of climate upset. Hope of the active skeptical kind is what he championed. Read the transcript of his talk here courtesy of Hamilton CATCH.
Environment Hamilton is spearheading efforts to get public hearings on climate action; the first organizing meeting happened last Monday. The PM has called on all MPs to host People’s Climate Plan forums this summer.
Some MPs have committed to host a town hall in their riding to listen to their constituents, but most haven’t. To ensure everyone across Canada has a chance to attend an in-person town hall, we need to encourage individual MPs to host a town hall in their ridings. You can use LeadNow.ca to get a reply from your MP on just what they are doing about this.
Yes we have a market this week, please pop over for fresh greens, eggs, pasture meats and some home cooked goodies by Cami.

Champaign, OH: California Dreaming
All the leaves are brown (All the leaves are brown)…
And the sky is gray (And the sky is gray)
I’ve been for a walk (I’ve been for a walk)…
On a winter’s day (On a winter’s day)
I’d be safe and warm (I’d be safe and warm)…
If I was in L.A. (If I was in L.A.)…
(California Dreaming-The Mamas and Papas)
Oh, wait…it’s not a winter’s day? I was so confused these past few days!! Yesterday was finally a beautiful, bright, warm day, but now, back to the cold, drizzle, gray…enough to make this market manager crazy!
On these days, I let my mind drift back to a time when I lived on the west coast, California, Los Angeles, San Francisco. The sleepy little beach hideaways, the perfect coastal drives, the warmth. I lived in quite a few places in the years I was out there…Venice Beach, Westwood, Malibu, Santa Monica, up in the canyons, in the heart of San Francisco. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world to be living in the place that I grew up wanting to escape to.
On these gray days, I love to think back to the places made me happy, made me excited, and forever have etched amazing memories in my brain.
This market can do the same for me on these gray and drizzly days. It makes me happy to see the lovely produce beginning to turn up on our market pages. The vendors make me smile. The customers and our bonds with them, give me a sense of love. And, this market is always showing me excitement!
In case you didn’t know, the vendors that are a part of this market are top notch. They bring the best of their best to us, each week. They are amazing in heart, amazing in spirit, and amazing to work with. I hope they know just how happy, and full of love, they make me, as their market manager!
It’s this time of year when we continue to welcome back some of our seasonal family. We welcomed back Beth, of Harrigan’s Harvest, Lee and Jennifer, of End Of The Road, and now we welcome back, Kevin, with his lettuces from Davidson Family Farms!
Find your own California dreaming, on a dreary day like today, right inside our market! Place your orders, and feel the love…
It’s Tuesday, and that means the market will be closing at 10pm, tonight! Don’t be left out in the cold…move into your own California sunshine with orders from this little local market of love…
Peace, Love, and Grooviness…
