THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHT
If you've wondered how you can include sustainably raised meat into your family's meals at an affordable price, you are invited to stop by the Mohr Animal Acres booth and ask about their meat CSA. Being part of a meat CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a way to have access to healthy meat, and save money on your meat bill.
By joining a meat CSA, you are helping support our local family farm while providing your family with a healthy and nutritious source of meat. You are allowing us the guarantee that our meats will be sold and more easily let us plan for what our future needs will be. In return, you get a guaranteed amount of meat at a great deal that is raised without all of the hormones and antibiotics that have become a standard in the growing practices of many of the large factories farms. You can eat knowing that your meat came from animals that were allowed to roam pastures, eat grass, breath fresh air and generally lead a happy life. [from Mohr Animal Acres website]They attend market every other week. They will be at market this week, and February 22, and every other week there after. For more information about their farm and their meat CSA you can visit their website here.

Great deal for gardeners, Limited time offer from February 1 - February 28

something that seems too good to be true is actually true. Granny's Garden School in Loveland is sharing their good fortune. They recently received a donation of Garden Claws to be used for fund raising. Usually selling for $25 - $30, Granny's Garden is offering them for $20,
half of which will go to Granny's Garden School and, if you use code
"LEWFM" when placing your order, the other $10 will go to Lettuce Eat
Well Farmers' Market. If you are unfamiliar with how awesome the garden
claw is, watch the demonstration video here.
