MARKET NEWS
*_HAPPY NEW YEAR!
So hard to believe that 2014 is behind us and 2015 is about to begin!
This is always the time of year when people make resolutions or vow to get healthier, get fit or just want to make changes for the new year!
My hope that being healthy and knowing the benefits of eating nutrient dense foods is one of them! We love that we have the Market and can help provide that to you while supporting our local Growers that continue to believe in the chemical free, organic and natural from the earth approach to food.
Please share with friends and family about us so that we can give more people the opportunity to buy and eat healthy also! Local farmers need our support to keep doing all the hard work and great food they provide to GwinnettLocallyGrown!
I hope that this year will be the best year in health for you and your family!
*Again, Happy New Year!

We have Wilderness Family Naturals Coconut Sugar, Flour and Organic Popcorn in the Market for sale! When you come to pick up your order, check them out! They are also now online!
Remember we have Kombucha available! If you are not familiar with it, Kombucha is a naturally fermented tea with natural probiotics! It has been around for centuries originating in Asia.

Cape Locally Grown: Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! We hope your Christmas was great and you’re having a happy new year in 2015!
As we are looking at seed catalogs, tree nurseries and poultry hatcheries, we all are looking forward to a great new year and to an increase in both quantity and diversity in your local food supply. It has been challenge to grow food in the winter, but we are learning to do the things necessary to take one step at a time. We thank you for your patience!
Take a look at our offerings this week. We welcome The Hughey Homestead offering unique organic food products to our list of growers.
Let us hear from you! We want Cape Locally Grown to meet the local food needs of our community, but we need your feedback. Let us know what is working or not working in your experience with us. Your responses are confidential and we promise not to cry from constructive criticism!
Thanks again and thanks for supporting your local growers and artisans!
Old99Farm Market: OLd 99 Farm, Week of Dec 28 2014
The last post of 2014! And it’s still green outside. I saw a couple of blooms on the forsythia bush outside my window.
The offerings are still plentiful here at the farm, greens, eggs, meats, root vegetables and some homecooked delights from Camelia. Check the website for details.
I’m using the list to get the word out about The People’s Platform project of HAmilton Civic League.
http://www.peoplesplatform.ca/news/making-every-voice-count-a-town-hall/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/info&id=12&reset=1
Here is our first opportunity in 2015 for Hamiltonians to network with like-minded neighbours:
Norman Kearney of The People’s Platform is organizing a town hall meeting for Tuesday, January 20, 2015 from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall, 71 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON L8P 4Y5.
The meeting is titled “Making Every Voice Count” and its themes are direct democracy and social justice. Maria Antelo of the Hamilton Community Legal Clinic is the moderator. Norman wrote,
“I have already invited organizers of the participatory budgets in wards 1 and 2, and I will be presenting a review on The People’s Platform. I have also extended an invitation to community development workers who are involved with the neighbourhood hubs. I would like the event to emphasize the voices of residents, rather than staff and elected officials, since direct democracy is about fostering active participation of amateurs, whereas representative democracy emphasizes the roles of experts and professionals. . . . We very much want this event to have a spectacular and diverse attendance so that it sends a clear signal to City Hall: the people of Hamilton want and are ready for a say in planning and spending decisions. . .”I can commend an excellent book to you, The Once and Future Great Lakes Country, about the ecohistory of our incredibly benign and fertile geography and what changes have occurred over millenia due to human and climatic influences. The auther is John L Riley, sr science advisor at Canadian Nature Conservancy and much more. He’s a heavy hitter in the conservation/sustainability movement.
