Look for raw and Juicy at the market this weekend with kale chips, granola, and some fresh pressed juice. We just got a new juicer that produces juices 30% higher in mineral and vitamin content and does not heat or oxidize the juice like many home and other commercial juicers. Assuming all goes well we will have juices available by 32oz and 64oz at the market! To your health!!

​

Greetings Localvores!

Its that time of year when the breeze is warm, the traffic is thick, and there's a bundle of produce at the market! Come get your delicious holiday foods from the market this weekend. What could be more traditional than to celebrate the 4th of July by sharing home grown products from your own "backyard" with your friends and family. Eggs, Chicken, granola, leafy greens,tomatoes, blueberry pies, honey, milk, and other wonderful eating delights will be available at the market this weekend.

Another way to celebrate the 4th of July is to recognize our food independence and to use our free American voices! Congress is getting ready to rewrite the Farm Bill which drives federal spending for farm, nutrition and conservation programs. It doesn't matter what side of the line you sit on, we all have to eat. Recently the Farm Bill has made appearances on the news and the radio, the last time it was rewritten was 1988. Check out the Top 10 Things You Should Know About The Farm Bill, posted below, from the Environmental Working Group (they were the only organization to compile this kind of information to date). This bill is scheduled to be passed in 2012.

Join us every Saturday from 8-12 for the farmers market in Seaside, come early to avoid the crowds and the heat. Fresh food grown locally, made locally, by locals for locals (and visitors).

See you on Saturday!

If organic farming is the natural way, shouldn't organic produce just be called "produce" and make the pesticide-laden stuff take the burden of an adjective? ~Ymber Delecto

Top 10 Things You Should Know About The Farm Bill
- The Environmental Working Group

The Environmental Working Group knows that you care about the affordability and availability of healthy food and clean drinking water. So we wanted to make sure you know as much as you can about the massive piece of legislation that guides federal agriculture policy.

Congress rewrites the farm bill every five years or so. It drives federal spending for farm, nutrition and conservation programs and is the only important piece of environmental legislation that Congress is almost certain to enact over the next 18 months. In just a single year - 2010 - farm bill programs spent $96.3 billion. With so much on the table, here's our list of the 10 most important things you should know about the farm bill:

1) The farm bill doles out billions of taxpayer dollars in subsidies to the largest five commodity crops: corn, cotton, rice, wheat and soybeans. Those payments go out, regardless of need, and they mostly fail to help the nation's real working farm and ranch families. In fact, since 1995, just 10 percent of subsidized farms - the largest and wealthiest operations - have raked in 74 percent of all subsidy payments. 62 percent of farmers in the United States did not collect subsidy payments, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

2) The Obama Administration says fruits and vegetables should fill about half of our plates during meal times. Yet, only a tiny fraction of the farm bill funding goes to programs that support healthy fruits and vegetables, and many of these programs have no budget going into the next farm bill, which is up for renewal in 2012.

3) Some 90,000 checks went out to wealthy investors and absentee land owners in more than 350 American cities in 2010, despite the so-called "actively engaged" rule adopted in the 2008 farm bill. This rule was designed to ensure that federal payments go only to those who are truly working the land. It hasn't worked.

4) A handful of other commodities also qualify for government support, including peanuts, sorghum and mohair. Dairy and sugar producers have separate price and market controls that are highly regulated and can be costly to the government.

5) The flawed subsidy system creates perverse incentives for farmers to grow as much industrial-scale, fertilizer- and pesticide-intensive crops as possible, with harmful effects on our environment and drinking water - and the availability of organic food in your grocery store.

6) The farm bill provides money for good things too. More than two-thirds of the authorized spending goes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as the food stamp program), which helps low-income Americans purchase food.

7) Other farm bill dollars pay for the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program, which gives vouchers to seniors to buy food at farmer's markets, and the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, which provides nutritious produce to schools.. These nutrition programs are likely to be first on the chopping block as Congress tries to reduce the federal debt, while the subsidy programs will surely be protected.

8) The government makes a lot of promises about supporting conservation programs to protect water, soil and wildlife habitat, but those promises largely go underfunded and unfulfilled. Still, the farm bill provided more than $4 billion this year to help farmers conserve soil, clean up the water and protect habitat for wildlife.

9) The farm bill should do a lot more to provide healthy food, protect the environment and help working farm and ranch families, but there are a host of well-funded and well-connected interests that benefit greatly from the status quo. The list includes politicians looking to fill campaign coffers, corporate agri-chemical giants like Monsanto and Syngenta seeking to expand their markets, and big Ag's public relations and lobby organizations, which cash in year after year.

10) Since only 2 percent of Americans directly engage in farming, the farm bill is largely crafted and debated out of the spotlight. Historically, the process of writing it embodies the worst kind of bipartisan logrolling and horse-trading.

Knowing that a lot of the money goes to nutrition programs and that the legislation has major effects on American's food supply, we think it's time to start calling it a food and farm bill. EWG's top priority in the next farm bill is to protect food assistance programs for those most in need, especially in the lingering aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. EWG also wants to shift a large chunk of the farm subsidy dollars into conservation programs and reform crop insurance - which has ballooned into another lavish subsidy for producers. Finally, EWG wants energy provisions that encourage truly sustainable biofuels and biomass energy alternatives, not heavily subsidized and inefficient corn ethanol.

Seaside Farmers Market

Saturday July 23, 2011
8am-12pm

Located in the Amphitheater in Seaside behind Raw and Juicy on Co. Hwy. 30A , Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

Greetings Localvores!
As I write this I am feeling grateful for the rain that we received this past week, and I am reminded how lucky we are that modern technology allows us to water our plants in a drought so that we may always grow our food. Come support your local farmers and enjoy some home grown produce! There will be a good amount of veggies, fruit, berries, and fresh berry pies at the market this weekend. Figs are in season and bountiful, get them while they are available.

And remember, it is more cost effective to eat at home. Dollar for dollar you get more nutrition from FRESH LOCAL ORGANIC produce then store bought produce, or produce that has been shipped hundreds of miles. **just another reason to buy from your local farmers market.

And a shameless plug for the REP...if you are looking for something fantastically fun for the whole family to do check out Around the World In 80 Days playing at the REP in Seaside.. Very, very,very fun.

See you on Saturday!

However, in providing a timely weekly newsletter, there are times when the vendor cannot verify what he/she will have that weekend at the market by the time we are publishing the newsletter. Thanks so much for understanding!

'FRESH FROM THE FARM': Local farmers travel each week to Seaside to sell their products

SEASIDE — Every Saturday come rain or shine, local farmers drive south to the beach and set up shop on the green lawn near the amphitheater.

For the past four years, the Seaside Farmers’ Market has been slowly building a reputation as the place to get fresh products from friendly local growers. Shoppers return every week from down the road in Seagrove Beach to as far as an hour’s drive to load up on produce, milk, eggs and bread.

“It’s the best,” said Gussie Gibson of Seagrove Beach, who comes every week to buy fresh vegetables and duck eggs for her grandchildren. “This is all fresh from the farm.”

Paul Johnson is the first to agree.

“Our produce was not in the coolers, not through the wholesalers, hasn’t been sold and resold,” said Johnson of Destin, who had a booth set up Saturday to help sell fruits and vegetables from his family’s C&B Farms, which grows produce on about 180 acres in Jackson County and in South Alabama.

“It hasn’t been touched by a lot of hands,” said Johnson’s relative, 21-year-old Jared Helms, of Slocomb, Ala., who has been farming the land all his life.

“This okra was broke yesterday,” Helms said.

The two were selling fresh tomatoes, watermelons, peaches, squash and okra Saturday. They were among about two dozen vendors set up under white tents selling produce, tea, bread and handmade jewelry and soap.

Mary Lou Wesselhoeft has been milking cows for 21 years on the farm where she was born and raised north of Blountstown.

Two years ago, she and her husband Paul decided the only way they could stay in business was to start bottling and selling their own product. So they founded Ocheesee Creamery.

They have 85 cows born and raised to roam the grass fields on their farm. Mary Lou milks the cows twice a day and Paul, who worked as a nurse in a former life, is the self-proclaimed delivery man.

The couple sells whole, skim and chocolate milk and drinkable, unsweetened yogurt. All the products come in glass bottles — “It just tastes better that way,” according to Mary Lou — that can be returned the next week for a deposit.

“It’s the old-fashioned type bottles,” Mary Lou said. “It’s something a little more unique.”

As familiar customers approached, Mary Lou knew what they were going to order. She shouted out their requests to Paul, who dug deep in their refrigerated trailer to fill the order.

Mary Lou said interest has grown since she started coming to the market three years ago.

“Today people are more concerned with where their food is coming from,” she said. “They want to know their farmer.”

In 2008, Renee Savary picked up her life in Miami Beach, bought a piece of property north of Bonifay and set out to start an organic chicken farm.

She had never farmed a day in her life, never picked eggs, never slaughtered a chicken. But growing up in Switzerland she loved food that wasn’t processed.

“I wanted to eat real food again,” she said.

She now raises 200 chickens on her own at her Twin Oaks Farms.

She’s been bringing her fresh chicken and duck eggs, organic free-range chicken breasts and homemade preserves to the market every Saturday for three years, and has grown to love providing people with healthy, fresh food.

“My chicken actually tastes like something,” she said. “The egg yolks are a deep orange. They are very healthy, rich in all the good omegas. It’s another experience.”

While commercial farmers keep 5,000 chickens in a warehouse and never let them outside, Savary said she has 40 outdoor chicken coops that are constantly moved.

“The first thing my chickens do in the morning is go outside and they spend the day scratching and looking for bugs,” she said.

Savary said the market has grown tremendously since she started attending.

“We have a great support from the local community,” she said.
