Newsletter for Friday, December 7, 2012  Market is held at Cheviot United Methodist Church 3820 Westwood Northern Blvd. 45211 from 3:00pm until 7:00pm

THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHT

Persevering Producers Provide Persistent Produce:  We offer a huge Thank You to Kate Cook of Carriage House Farm for hanging in there through this up and down weather.  Because of Kate's persistence, we are able to continue to have wonderful salad greens, cooking greens, radishes, and a plethora of other healthy veggies.  The above picture is only a representation of what Kate grows.  Be aware that items change from week to week, providing customers with wonderful surprises each market day.  Carriage House Farm also offers dried herbs and spices, along with grains, including wheat berries, cornmeal and polenta.  They also sell their own local honey.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
To learn what can happen when a few people join together to make a change in their town, click here http://www.ted.com/talks/pam_warhurst_how_we_can_eat_our_landscapes.html

Do you have 2 or 3 neighbors who will join you in making a change in your community?  It only takes one person to begin the change.  Conversely, if no one initiates change, likely no positive change will take place.
