Newsletter for Friday, March 22, 2013.  The market's year round location is 3820 Westwood Northern Blvd. 45211.  Drive around to the back parking lot and enter through back door.  Thanks to Cheviot United Methodist for allowing the market to be held at their church.


VERY ABBREVIATED NEWSLETTER
This week's newsletter will be a very abbreviated one because our time has been taken up taking care of other important Market Management responsibilities. 

NOTICES
  • Mohr Animal Acres attends market every other week.  They will be at market this week, and ask that if you have empty egg cartons to please bring them as they can make good use of them on the farm. 
  • Don Clark of Happy Bungalow will not be at market this week.  He will be at market next week, March 29.  He will not be at market during the month of April.

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.


Garden Claw
Great deal for gardeners:  Limited time offer has been extended! 
There are times when 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.

[it's the second video, further down the page, picturing the children with Granny]

After viewing the video you will likely want to order one for yourself and/or a friend.  You can order by credit card or by check.  You can pick up your garden claw at our market.  Details will be emailed to you after you place your order.  Remember to use code "LEWFM".  This offer is for a limited time.  For more information regarding ordering click here.

*******************************************
If you would like a chance to win $20 in Market Bucks, stop by the Market Management booth to fill out your free raffle ticket each week throughout the winter market (through April).  And, if you bring a new person to market you will receive an additional free raffle ticket that week.  The last Friday of each month we will draw a ticket at random.  Winner need not be present at time of drawing.

Learn How to Eat Local  -  Year Round:  For those who are interested in learning how to make food choices that are more environmentally sustainable, help is on the way.  It seems pretty obvious to most people that choosing to eat food that is grown within our local region is much more earth friendly than purchasing foods that are grown thousands of miles away.  If you are unsure of how to go about eating locally year round, you are invited to attend the upcoming Southwest Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (SWOEFFA) conference.  

In addition to learning to eat locally, the day long conference offers workshops on a variety of other topics (a total of 12 from which to choose) for both producers and consumers: Basics of Backyard Gardening, Cooking Without Waste, Permaculture, GMOs, Starting a School or Community Garden, and many more.  The keynote speaker will be Gary Cox, attorney from the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund.  His topic will be "Give Local Food a Chance."  The conference is scheduled for Saturday April 13 at Gorman Heritage Farm in Evendale.  You can register and pay by check or you can do so online with your credit card.  For more information and registration form click here.
