Plattsburgh Online Ordering:  Online ordering - for the aftermath

Great market yesterday so I know most folks are well stocked. Today you have to think beyond Thursday and leftovers to what you will be wanting/needing not this week, but next week. Open for orders until 9 pm Tuesday.

Asgaard is taking a holiday this week so no products available from them. They will be back for next week. (Hmmmm, maybe not online until Monday though.)

Have a great and thankful Thanksgiving.

Heirloom Living Market Lilburn:  Extension of Market hours

Market ordering hours extended until Monday morning 9:00am…

Although I realize that some folks will be out of town for Thanksgiving, at the present time the total for the Market Sales is less than 50% of the minimum of $650 needed.

In an effort to reach our goal that makes it viable to hold Market, I am leaving the Market open until 9:00am tomorrow morning. If at that time, minimum has not been reached, pickup will be moved to the Crossfit location.

At the close of Market, Monday morning at 9:00am, you will receive an email letting you know the status and the location of pickup for this week.

Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to provide you with what you want from the local Farmers/Growers and Producers; but, please understand that Buying Local means supporting those who are committed to providing ‘Local’!

Hop on over to the Market and place your order…

Thank you for your support!

Hope to see you at Market on Tuesday!

CLG:  No market this Friday. Happy thanksgiving.

We will not be having a market this week since Thanksgiving is Thursday. Have a great week! We will open for orders next Sunday at 6pm.

Heirloom Living Market Hamilton Mill:  Today at 6:00pm is ordering deadline!

Heirloom Living Markets will close for ordering tonight at 6:00pm!

Market Pickup is Tuesday 2:30 – 4:30pm only!

My Daily Bread will have fresh baked breads and other organic baked goods available this week but will be taking a well deserved vacation the following week.

Feel free to stock up this week so you won’t miss having your My Daily Bread items! All of their items freeze well, taste fresh upon thawing and will keep in the freezer for 4-6 weeks if double wrapped!

Marie of Bakery on Brooks does not have items listed on the Markets this week. She will return next week! Marie has created Parker House Rolls that are gluten free and made with organic ingredients. Be sure and order some next week! I love all of her products, but these rolls are now at the top of my list of favorites!

Dabrielle of My Daily Bread has tasty treats that would enhance any Thanksgiving Feast. Cinnamon Rolls or Pumpkin Spice Bread or Muffins paired with a Sausage and Veggie Fritatta with eggs from Golden Farms or Rocky Acres Farm and Sausage from B&G or Heritage Farm with Peppers, Onions, Spinach from The Veggie Patch sounds like a great Breakfast to start the day!

Or start your day with a Smoothie made with tender, nutritious microgreens from George and Krista of Cedar Seeder. They also offer Bakery Bars that are oh-so-good!

Dabrielle of My Daily Bread has started on her Christmas baking and will have Sweet Bread Platters available this week – great to have on hand for nibbling later in the day with leftovers or a wonderful Hostess Gift. Her Gingerbread Boys are sure to bring a smile to the children and adults alike, served with a glass of cold fresh milk from Cedar Rock Dairy or Little Tot’s Estate!

Need appetizers? Hummus or Pestos offered by Jennifer of Jennifer’s Pesto would be a good choice or check out the Pepper Cheese Log from My Daily Bread.

Need Veggies? We have Kale, Mustard Greens, Collard Greens or Nappa Cabbage that can be sauteed for a Southern side dish for the big day. I use a mixture of Nappa Cabbage and Kale with little bits of B&G’s Spicy Sausage and add some Onion and Garlic! Good eating! You could order a Produce Box from Doug’s Garden or from The Veggie Patch for an assortment! Sounds wonderful! I have been enjoying the tasty Tomatoes from Peacefield Farm and am getting both Red and Green this week. Great tasting Tomatoes at Thanksgiving? Who knew?

The ‘Star of the Show’ for most folks will be a Turkey! Unfortunately, we did not have access to pre-order free-range, organic birds this year, so I trust you found your own source. I brine my turkey and it is always awesome!

There is a slim possibility that Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm will have few Turkeys that people who had pre-ordered did not claim for one reason or another…. I will not know for sure until Monday evening. Cost per pound is $7.90 but again, I will not know IF there will be any available, the number available or the size until Monday evening after Greg has delivered what was pre-ordered. You can call me at 404-432-4337 if you want to be on the list to get a Turkey if there are any available. If you are on the list, I will call you Monday night to let you know that outcome!

If you haven’t found Turkey or you prefer another meat for your Feast, check out the Beef, Pork or Chicken offered by Lynda Brady of B&G Farms, or Chicken, Beef, Lamb or Pork products offered by Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm or the Water Buffalo offered by Carrell Farms

The Yeast Rolls from My Daily Bread are fabulous! Hmmm, Honey from Dances with Bees b> would taste mighty fine on those Yeast Rolls! My Daily Bread also offers a variety of Jam, Jellies and Preserves that are fabulous.

Oh, and don’t forget the Pumpkin! Dabrielle made some delicious roasted and pureed Organic Pumpkin. Truly, Pumpkin Pie is great; however, Pumpkin Pie made from fresh Pumpkin is awesome! Top that pie with whipped cream made from the thick rich cream on top of the great raw milk from Cedar Rock Dairy! Order an extra 1/2 gallon, skim off the cream and make butter or whipped cream and use the remaining milk/butter milk for baking. Freeze the extra!

Someone posted a little “Thanksgiving Humor” on Facebook and it is too cute NOT to share! I laughed out loud! Singing Turkey

A few other items to consider, especially if you are going to be a guest this Thanksgiving. Kathy Barnes of So-Koi creates Retro Aprons in several different patterns, which would make an awesome Hostess Gift. Monique Huenergardt of Mo’s Tats and Stitches handcrafts beautiful Heirloom quality snowflake ornaments, home decorations, ear rings and has them on the Market. Tammy Soseby of Peacefield Farm has hand-crafted some beautiful scarves! Three talented ladies, dedicated to offering us handmade-with-love treasures! Buying from local Artisans, whom you have the opportunity to meet and get to know, I think is special! Buying local also helps grow the economy.

And if the Hostess has a pet – remember to check out Low Low Knows Bones for Organic yummy Pet Treats to appease the hungry beasts! (Plus you will make lots of Brownie Points! Pet owners have a special place in their hearts for their animals and love when others recognize this bond!) The Black Lab gobbles up the Pumpkin flavor!

Sarah, Lauren, Kathy (The Market Coordinators) and I recognize that we are truly blessed to have the wonderful group of Farmers, Producers and Artisans who are passionate about bringing us “the best of the best”! We are grateful for their dedication.

Please know that we are grateful to you, our Members, for your unfailing support of our efforts to make the Market a community resource for nutrient-dense, clean fresh and local food! Your encouragement, suggestions, recommendations to others and your friendship have blessed my life and I am appreciative.

personal reflections

I have had time these last few days to reflect on memories of past Thanksgivings shared with family and friends. Whether I was cooking in my own kitchen, helping in another or a guest in someone’s home, the happiness that I have felt for the love that is shared on this special holiday still fills my heart with joy!

It isn’t about a “perfect meal” – it can be the simplest of fare or a huge feast. It isn’t about pulling out the silver and the best china or the lace tablecloth. It isn’t about show. It is about gratitude! Expressing our heartfelt thanks to another warms their heart and ours.

I give thanks to God for my many blessings and even for the “I’m-not-so-sure-this-is-a-blessing” situations and especially the hardships, losses, issues that I face that are less than pleasant, the “I-don’t-see-this-as-a-blessing” conditions. I am truly grateful for all of the joys and sorrows that became my life. They are part of me and have shaped the person that I am today. I am grateful to Him that I awaken each day to see the beautiful sunrise; grateful at the end of the day as the sky is painted at sunset and grateful for all of the moments in between. He blesses me each and every moment – through His hand and the lives of each person I encounter and I am humbled and grateful to be touched.

Please, take a moment and reflect on the many blessings you have in your life. Live ‘in the moment’ and become ‘aware’! Take the time to say: “Thank you!” I promise, it will bring joy to your heart!

Black Lab Update Finally … after 3 days of laying the underground fence, attaching to the existing ‘real fence’, testing, finding a short, replacing wire, retesting and meeting with success, the Black Lab is securely ‘contained’ in the backyard. After escaping 2 weeks ago and MIA for 6 hours, my angst and worry forced me to spend the considerable time and effort to ensure his safety. I obviously could not rely on his ‘trustworthiness’ (or lack thereof) to NOT dig under and out of the fence! I now have peace of mind when I let him outside! Such a blessing! I just have to figure out how to keep the dogs from the surrounding properties from digging into the yard!

I wish you and yours a truly wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing in the Heirloom Living Market Family!

Now, hop on over to your Market and get that shopping done! Market closes tonight at 6:00pm! We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday! Order now since you are just a click away!

ALFN Local Food Club:  The Market is Open, Thanks to You!

Friends,

The market is open for orders and it’s all thanks to you! This time of year always has me reflect on all that I’m grateful for. When I look back on the growth of Food Club over the past seven years, I’m amazed at the countless number of folks that have contributed to our success. While the following thanks certainly aren’t exhaustive, there’s (more than) a few I needed to call out for their constant support:

• Thank you to our founders Nao Ueda and Katy Elliot for seeing a need and figuring out how to fill it. You laid the solid foundation for an organization that’s been able to grow exponentially thanks to your hard work and vision.

• Thank you to our ever-growing number of customers, who put your money where your mouths (and stomachs) are week after week. You support a stronger local economy and more sustainable future by ensuring the viability of small Arkansas farms, and we always appreciate your love of all things local and generosity whenever we reach out for help.

• Thank you to our incredible vendors for producing the highest quality food and products using ethical and sustainable practices. You work your tails off not for financial incentive nor personal gain, but because you have dedicated your lives to being the change you wish to see in the world.

• Thank you so much to our wonderful volunteers for donating so much of your time and energy to not only operating Food Club, but doing so with a smile. You are our greatest asset and Food Club could not function without your dedication.

• Thank you to our Board of Directors for volunteering countless time and energy to steering this organization towards a sustainable future, and especially to our exiting Executive Committee: Board Chair Dwayne McFarlan, Treasurer Juli Brandenberger, and Secretary Carrie Mensik. These three have given so much of themselves to see this organization through multiple transitions and we can not thank them enough for their wisdom and dedication.

• Thank you so much to our Food Club Program Manager Rebecca Wild for always going above and beyond to ensure this incredibly complicated program operates smoothly all-year round. I definitely didn’t gain a full appreciation for all of the moving pieces of Food Club until I had to start learning how to reconcile 90 orders a week from over 30 growers, each with their own adjustments, memberships, and unending list of quirks. Rebecca’s thoroughness and support makes my job so much easier, and for that I am eternally thankful. A special shout-out to her husband Steve for being our most dedicated and multi-talented volunteer.

• Thank you to our gracious hosts at Christ Episcopal Church for always practicing what they preach. From giving us an office and the room to operate an indoor farmer’s market to being incredibly flexible with our grower deliveries and equipment needs, I simply can’t imagine how we’d still be around without your generosity. Your ingenuity in supporting small farmers and low-income families through Green Groceries is an inspiration!

• Thank you so much to 2nd Presbyterian Church of Little Rock for their multiple grants that funded the publication of the first two editions of ALFN’s FRESH Local Foods Directory. FRESH is a groundbreaking project that helps connect the often disparate pieces of our blossoming local food movement, and it was only made possible thanks to your support.

• Thank you to all of the advisors and participants in ALFN’s recent strategic plan. This project was only made useful thanks to the contributions of countless individuals, and you have helped ensure a sustainable future for ALFN. Be sure to keep your eyes out for the results of that process within the next few weeks.

• And I would be remiss to not thank my family and friends, who are my rock and inspiration. I am so, so privileged to be able to do this incredibly important work, and I can only do it thanks to your love and support.

A few announcements:

• A great way to thank one of our growers would be to visit Tammy Sue’s Critters’ annual Christmas Open House at their farm on Saturday, November 29th from 10am-2pm. Tammy’s got a beautiful place on the outskirts of North Little Rock at 4 Cheyenne Trail, North Little Rock 72120. So come on out and meet the goats, alpaca, free-range chickens, dogs, cats, and GUARD LLAMA and even do a little holiday shopping while you’re at it!

• Willow Springs Market Garden wanted us to let you know that they’ll be taking a much-needed vacation, but fear not, their delicious vegetables will return in just three weeks’ time.

Hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thanks again for the constant support!

Most Sincerely,

- Alex Handfinger
Director of Operations
