Greetings!
With the cold finally encroaching, and darkness prevailing, it becomes more and more evident to me how important it is to garner strength from each other during these winter months. No matter how I feel in the morning, I come away from market lighter and happier, because this is a community that I have come to love dearly. Getting immersed in all of your good spirits always lifts mine. This is our last chance to gather in 2011, so let’s do it good!

“Farmers and eaters unite!
Thousands have gathered in Occupy demonstrations across the country to protest the greed of banks, the power of corporations, widespread unemployment, the widest income gap in US history.
No one knows the struggle better than family farmers. Since the 1980s more than a million farm families have been forced off the land, leading to factory farms and industrial, chemical intensive agribusiness that is more consolidated than ever.
Food is too important to be put into the hands of a few corporations!
Let’s claim our farms and food for the health of our bodies, our soil, our water and our economy.”
From: http://facebook.com/OccupyTheFoodSystem
Peace and good eats,
Jody Lathwell, Market Manager
Happy Thanksgiving, however you choose to celebrate. Usually that involves food of some sort or another……speaking of which, we’ll have lots of it at market! Stock up for your feast this week. See just how “local” you can be.
Apparently, November 22nd is Start Your Own Country Day. It was originally conceived in 1939 at the World’s Fair in New York. Its conception was to honor those free spirited souls who dared to hope and believe in a better world where they too could declare any land their own. Hmmm…….

“I didn’t know that I was going to have to eat my words,” objected Milo.
“Of course, of course, everyone here does,” the king grunted. “You should have made a tastier speech.”
Milo looked around at everyone busily stuffing himself and then back at his own unappetizing plate. It certainly didn’t look worth eating, and he was so very hungry.
“Here, try some somersault” suggested the duke. “It improves the flavor.”
“Have a rigmarole,” offered the count, passing the breadbasket.
“Or a ragamuffin,” seconded the minister.
“Perhaps you’d care for a synonym bun,” suggested the duke.

“What Gandhi was insisting upon with that spinning wheel- he never quit talking about it, and carted it all over Europe as well as India- as the absolutely vital importance of how we accomplish the most mundane things in life: the putting of clothes on our backs and food on our tables. There is always a simpler way to meet these needs, he taught, and a more self-reliant one- always an adjustment to make that will foster better health and draw you into more richly interdependent relationships with others. There is always a choice.”

Greetings, Marketeers!
I am sad to announce that I think I made my last batch of basil pesto today; we’ll see what the next couple of weeks brings, but alas, my basil is petering out: my Seasonal Denial is getting more difficult to justify.
At market, however, there is still an amazing selection of fresh veggies. Although I will miss my basil, we now have the joys of winter squash, broccoli, kohlrabi, carrots, beets, happy lettuces, onions and garlic. So reality isn’t so bad, either.
See you at market!

I have never believed Big Ag’s argument that they are “feeding the world”……
“As I reported last month, two recent UN reports directly implicate commodities speculators for driving up the price of key food staples like rice and wheat-leaving tens of millions of people around the world hungry in order to make a buck. A new study (PDF) reaching the same conclusion has emerged from the New England Complex Systems Institute-and was reviewed by two Harvard economists and an official from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.”

Although I am not a man, and I’m not sure I can espouse all that is expressed on this website, I thought this was an interesting tidbit:
“It’s not just about the food. The risks you take at the dinner table are extensions of the way you live. If you’re uncomfortable trying new foods — if you’re not excited at the prospect, even — then it probably says something about your sense of adventure and comfort with danger.”
