Yes, we have loads of news this week.
This week marks the final Friday to place your orders for meat chickens from
Honey Tree Acres Farm and Gardens. Their chickens are free range and fed NO gmo and NO soy. They expect the chicken to be ready for pick up in October. You might want to order extras to place in your freezer for the winter, as they will likely have only limited supply of chicken available until spring. Due to interstate commerce rules, you would need to pick up at the farm, which is an easy 30 minute drive to West Harrison, Indiana.
For additional information about this exceptional farm you may view the highlight of them in a previous newsletter http://lewfm.blogspot.com/2014_06_15_archive.html For pricing and other details, please see order form. They will also have order forms available at market. If you are unable to be at market this Friday you may call them at (513) 703-6208 or email honeytreeacresfg@gmail.com with questions or to place your order.

NOTICES
We received the following notice from Mari Ann of Yellow Creek Weavers:
Yellow Creek Weavers are restocking their blue rugs as well as some purples! Some of these are brand new colors to LEWFM. Come to market this week and check them out!
If you haven't stopped by Mari Ann's booth because you think handcrafted rugs are out of your budget, if you check out what she has to offer you will likely be pleasantly surprised at how affordable her rugs (and other items) are. Mari Ann believes that everyone should be able to purchase a handcrafted rug at an affordable price.
RECENTLY ADDED
If you were at market last Friday you noticed our newest addition. Last week we welcomed Jose' Madrid Salsa to our lineup of Very Valued Vendors. Jose' Madrid Salsa is made regionally in Zanesville, Ohio. With 21 different varieties of salsa they are sure to have one - or more - to suit your taste. Speaking of tasting; they have samples of each variety, so you can try before you buy. SPECIAL GUEST VENDOR

BARTERS' CORNER UPDATE
In a recent newsletter we introduced the concept of a
Barters' Corner (see Reminders section below for further details). This week we received another response, this time from a person who said

Please include in your email the type of service or item that you would like to barter.
REMINDERS
While some of you are long-time readers of the newsletter, people who are new to the market are reading the newsletter for the first time; therefore, the Reminders section is included each week so new folks can see what's happening around the market and around town.

For his Bright Idea Kerry will receive five Market Bucks, which he can spend at any of the vendor booths. If you would like to receive free Market Bucks, email us your Bright Idea and if it is chosen for inclusion in the newsletter you, too, will receive five Market Bucks. Email your Bright Idea to lewfmlocal@gmail.com
Barters' Corner Do you have a skill or talent that you could teach to others? Perhaps you know how to grow your own food, or how to preserve the abundance of summer produce and could share that knowledge with others. Maybe you have extra gardening tools, or canning or other food related equipment you are willing to share. You can put your skills and/or unused equipment to good use by bartering with others who want what you have and have what you want.
If you wish to participate in the Barters' Corner email us at lewfmlocal@gmail.com.
