Newsletter for Friday June 21, 2013.

Some customers have asked us when we will be moving back to Harvest Home Park; therefore, we realize that not everyone has been made aware that we will be staying at Cheviot United Methodist Church throughout the summer.  Please help us spread the word about the market's correct location!

While the market's year round location is Cheviot United Methodist Church 3820 Westwood Northern Blvd. 45211, the location at the church varies depending on other activities at the church and depending on the weather (sunny and warm, we're outside; stormy or cold, we're inside).  Just follow the happy voices and you'll find us.



THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHT
I Love My Farmers' Market Celebration marks the fifth year American Farmland Trust has hosted a summer-long event to honor our nation's hardworking family farmers and to raise the national awareness about our bountiful farmers' markets.  The celebration encourages consumers to pledge to support family farmers by making at least $10 of their food purchases each week at their farmers' market.  Already spend more than that at the farmers' market?  How about increasing your weekly purchase by $10?  In addition, you are invited to stop by the market management booth for details about how you can enter to win a market bag filled with market goodies, along with $10.00 in Market Bucks.  You can also pledge your support for your favorite farmers' market (and we sure hope it's LEWFM) at the Love My Farmers' Market website lovemyfarmersmarket.org
  

CHECK OUT LEWFM'S NEWEST MUSIC SENSATION
During last week's market, young Ezra Reidel (of Reidel's Urban Farm) entertained the crowd by playing an instrument that was handcrafted by our very own Charles Purdue, who sells a variety of handcrafted items at our market.  You can watch a video of Ezra's debut performance and discover what he bought with some of his tips.

NOTICES

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. 

The Romans Family Farm, who has been a Very Valued Vendor at LEWFM since its first year of operation, are returning again for this summer's market.  YAY!  They will again be offering their Eating Seasonally CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).  If you are unfamiliar with the concept of a CSA, there are many online sites where you can learn more, such as the Local Harvest Website http://www.localharvest.org/csa/    Eating Seasonally CSA is currently taking applications for their 2013 CSA.  For further information you can visit their Facebook page here.
