INSURE FRESHNESS OF YOUR RAW MILK PURCHASES
Special thanks to Pam Lunn of The Dancing Goat for publishing this important advice on “How to maintain freshness of raw milk” This is a great one-page document to print and attach to your refrigerator.
NEW GROWER
Welcome to new grower SmartEater formed by (our lead volunteer) Rita Sewell to share her gluten free bread with our customers. It is “better than great” especially with its introductory pricing this week. We’ve all been eating it for months and finally convinced Rita to take the plunge and produce this very flavorful, gluten-free, nutrient-dense energy bread for the St. Petersburg Community.
THEY’RE BACK!
Welcome back to Urban Oleo for the next several weeks with a bounty of avocados. Stephanie and Mindy Alvord joined our Market last summer to share their amazing avocados and, in the fall, their citrus with the St. Petersburg community.
BLACK ANGUS
The 100% grass-fed ground beef delivered by Lake Kersey Farms continues to impress our customers. Thank you for the positive feedback! We plan to get roasts, chops, steaks, and soup bones, etc. in the future. These Black Angus are fed NO grain within any phase of their life span. What kind of cuts would you be interested in? Please email me at tlevy@tampabay.rr.com. In a few weeks, I will be contacting the Watson’s to determine what cuts are available.
WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST CUSTOMERS!
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? on the third bullet item. 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.

COMING IN AUGUST, FROM LAKE KERSEY FARMS
Our Market offerings of 100% grass-fed Black Angus beef now includes roasts, chops, steaks, soup bones, etc. The Watson’s steer are fed NO GRAIN at anytime prior to their processing. I am trying to get an idea of how many folks want me to get pricing and offer these items on our Market. Please send me an email and, optionally, include the cuts you would be interested in purchasing.
INTRO PRICING (even lower than last week) ON COFFEE THIS WEEK
Many of you have sampled Java Planet Organic Coffee Roasters locally roasted organic coffee beans through our Market and we now have full pound bags for your convenience. We priced them considerably lower than local stores to encourage you to support our Market this summer. Enjoy it fresh, black, and hot or iced! It is not only USDA Certified Organic, it is Fair Trade Certified too.

NEW GROWER JOINS OUR MARKET
Welcome to Richard & Jeni Duncan of Sustainable Me who join us with a rainbow of eggs from their urban farm in Pinellas Park where they are striving towards living off the grid using solar power. I am hoping to convince them to present a Fall lecture on that very subject for our inquisitive Market Community.
INTRODUCING RABBIT LEG MEAT THIS WEEK
Will try to have these every other week so please stock up, on this and chicken, for the next few weeks. Dave and Beth Seely have operated the Seely’s Ark rabbit farm in Dunnellon, Florida since 1986. They produce high quality, ranch raised rabbit that is hand processed at their USDA inspected small humane facility—the Southeast’s only U.S. Department of Agriculture-approved rabbit processing plant. They sell to five-star restaurants and cruise ships. Rabbit is extremely popular with Europeans and Canadians who flock to Florida each winter. They come to us through Suncoast Food Alliance where you can link to several articles of interest on Beth Seely. Here’s one now! Read about Beth Seeley in this article from 2005.
