THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL GUEST VENDOR
She's back for a repeat performance! For those who might have missed market the day Lee Rose brought her treadle sewing machine and beautiful hand-crafted items, don't despair because you will be able to catch her this week. Lee will be demonstrating a quilt project that she informs us can be made by people who have no prior knowledge of quilting. In her own words:
Do you have a t-shirt for every event you have attended and don't really know what to do with them? Would you like them made into a memory quit, but don't really quilt? Come on August 22nd and I will show you an easy way to make your memory quilt. Even if you do not sew very much, you can make this quilt!!If you're not quite comfortable making the t-shirt quilt yourself, Lee will be happy to take on the job for you. When you stop by her booth at market this Friday you can view - and purchase - her handiwork. Also, if you have a special occasion coming up and need an extra special outfit, or gift, Lee fills special orders with delight. If you missed our previous article about Lee, you may view it here.

REMINDER
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.
SEASONAL & CHANGING PRODUCTS/ITEMS
Our Produce & Plant Vendors are currently bringing an array of summer season produce. When they know in advance what they will be harvesting they let us know so we can let you know. If the notice is too late to get in the weekly newsletter we will post it on the market's Facebook page here.
Sometimes Mother Nature's harvest cannot be perfectly timed, so come to market ready to be pleasantly surprised to see what each of the vendors have gleaned from their labors in the fields. Rather than create your menu and then come to market, come to market and create your menu around what the vendors have to offer that week. And remember, all produce sold at LEWFM is grown using no synthetic chemicals, and eggs and meats are from pastured livestock who receive NO gmo and NO soy.
***********************************************
PRE-ORDER AND SAVE $$$
Would you like to save $$$ on your food purchases while not compromising on quality? We thought your answer would be yes, so we devised a way for you to accomplish this. During the summer market season, a number of our vendors will be participating in Pre-order and Save $$$. Following are examples of the promotions that two vendors will be offering: Angelia’s Homemade Pies (& more) will be offering a 10% discount on all pre-ordered baked goods. Learning to Live Sustainably (L2LS): After customers have pre-ordered a total of 12 loaves of bread they will receive their 13th loaf free.
As if Saving $$$ isn't enough, Pre-ordering has additional bonuses for both customers and vendors. When you pre-order your items you are ensured that your favorite foods will not be sold out before you arrive at market. Additionally, pre-ordering cuts down on waste of perishable foods. When you let your favorite vendors know in advance what items you want to purchase, the vendors can then produce/harvest the quantities needed to supply their customers. Furthermore, our already-overly-busy vendors can use their time to make what their customers most want. Stop by your favorite vendors' booths to inquire about how to Pre-order and Save $$$.
As more vendors become involved in the Pre-order and Save $$$ promos we will highlight them in future newsletters. You can also see up-to-the-minute news on the market's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/lewfm.org

My passion in life is sustainable living which includes gardening, homesteading etc. So I have been learning tons about that. I know how to fix computers and have worked in the IT field for years. As for what I need, anything to do with gardening and homesteading.
Would anyone be interested in bartering for Acupuncture or medical massage?
I love gardening and teaching people how to become urban gardeners. I grow typical vegetables like tomatoes and peppers but also corn and mushrooms. I also grow medicinal herbs such as yarrow, horehound and toothache plant. I know how to water bath can and pressure can. My boyfriend also does silver smelting. We would love to learn to become more energy self sufficient. Also, I have an up coming business venture that I think will greatly benefit the local farmers' markets. I'm planning on opening a incubator kitchen for individuals to rent so they can sell their items at local markets.
