Can You Help?

We need neighborhood co-ops formed to which we can deliver a group of customers’ orders on a weekly basis. We have recently attempted to launch THREE veggie pickup spots for your orders from St. Pete Locally Grown in Historic Uptown, Euclid Heights, and Euclid-St. Pauls Neighborhoods. Gracious folks from these neighborhoods have offered space for our customers to leave coolers for Friday deliveries. We need your help to create sufficient demand for these co-ops to be formed. Please contact your friends in these neighborhoods and let them know. If you want to try us out, this is the week to do it and show your interest. The sustainability of our business depends on this cooperative effort. Please help us get this working.

WE RECYCLE
We need STURDY egg cartons, plastic, cardboard and sturdy (not thin) styrofoam. We are willing to get them back to our egg Growers. Big need for these! Best to drop them on the front stoop of our home if you know where we live. But if you want to leave them for us with your weekly coolers that’s ok too.

MEAT PRODUCTS
We are in the process of getting more meat products for our Market which may become available to you THIS week. If so, I will send out a special broadcast and those who have been waiting can place a second order to be delivered to you this Friday. Beef, pork, and lamb are the expected items this week, salmon in two weeks, and chicken-not sure as our Grower has moved recently and has taken a short break.

YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW
Eating local means getting used to what grows locally and learning how to integrate new foods into our lifestyle. Here a few items (some of many on our Market this week) that are so abundant, it’s sad that they might end up in the compost pile due to lack of interest. Live a little! Try these while they are still in season. You might fall in love with them and how nice to discover something new and wonderful for your mealtime repertoire. With the weather warming up, these are not going to last much longer.
Tatsoi is the new spinach, haven’t you heard?
Broccoli leaves are edible!
Collard greens can be stuffed!
Kohlrabi is “what happens when broccoli and cabbage get married”. How about a Greek-Style Kohlrabi Gratin With Dill and Feta?
Asian greens: Not sure what to do with those on our Market? Know Your Asian Greens and get suggestions.
Need a great ginger dressing for all greens, meats, old shoes, etc? You’ll never stop making this one!

LOOKING FOR A CO-OP PICKUP NEAR YOU?
Check out SPLG’s current list of drop spots on our Q&A page. Not finding a good match? Call Market Manager at 727-515-9469. We can usually find a win-win solution.

WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST CUSTOMERS!
Once you have submitted your order, if in doubt about what you owe, you can always confirm what you have been charged for by checking your account history and viewing your most current invoice. Instructions on how to do that are on our Q&A page under the question entitled Since you don’t provide an invoice with delivery, how do I know what I owe? Also, since your vegetables are picked fresh within 24 hours of delivery, they should be lasting for WEEKS in your refrigerator. When you accept delivery, please take a few minutes to inspect your order to protect your vegetables from unnecessary spoilage. Lastly, it is imperative that you understand our policy on Unclaimed Orders found on our Q&A page. When you make a purchase you are agreeing to abide by this policy.

Grower News

ADVICE FROM GLORY ROAD GARDENS
Monitor the condition of your microgreens by changing out the paper towel every day or so. Leave a little air in the bag. Don’t store them in a super cold area of your refrigerator. Too much cold degrades microgreens quickly.

IF YOU GROW YOUR OWN FOOD & YOU WANT TO SHARE YOUR PHOTOS
Please email me and I’ll send you an invite that will give you access to posting photos of your abundance on our Pinterest page. If not, then Follow us as we encourage local urban farmers to post their food garden photos to share with the entire St. Petersburg Community! Let’s document the power of growing food LOCALLY! Just follow this link to our Pinterest project. We are also documenting “The art of distributing food to the St. Petersburg Community”. Hope you will follow our progress! with that project as well.
