So “WHAT’S NEW?” To You?

One thing our Market is becoming known for is the diversity of “unusual” fare NOW GROWING and local products being made right here in the St. Petersburg Area:

• Guava Leaves are usually grown in Asian countries but also is grown right here in St. Petersburg! According to this article Top 10 Health Benefits of Guava & Guava Leaves “The anti-plaque properties of guava leaves are effective in preventing and treating oral problems.”
• Collard Greens are always a great standby for substantial greens. We love them in the beginning of the season but many of us get bored with them way before the season ends. Besides the traditional ways of “porking up the collards” there are great ways to use collards in wraps after blanching the leaves to make them more pliable.
• Coconut Oil is well known for tons of health benefits. If you didn’t know cocunut oil has been used to treat Alzheimer’s you are going to want to read this article shared with us by Coeurisma’s Jenifer Slocum whose mom and mom-in-law both benefited from taking it regularly. It’s a fabulous story!
• If Ginger root is not part of your diet you may want to consider introducing it (slowly) because there must be a reason that this “spice has been a staple in kitchens and medicine cabinets for over five thousand years.” Here are “10 Health Benefits of Ginger Root – The Wonder Spice We don’t currently have any fresh local ginger so we get ours from the same source as local retailers, Peru. That said, with the onslaught of fresh local tender eggplant I am using ginger (and garlic) often when I make my spicy eggplant recipe.

MEMBERSHIP FEES

ECONOMY SIZED PACKAGING
Abundance of Lacinato (Tuscan) kale, arugula, collard greens, and tatsoi (see last week’s weblog piece for tatsoi recipes).

PORK SAUSAGE ON SALE THIS WEEK
Locally grown pork sausage produced by the renowned Geiers Sausage Kitchen in Sarasota is what’s on sale THIS WEEK ONLY with intro pricing of $8.99 per one-pound package of 4 links which are MSG and nitrate-free. Bratwurst, Mild Italian, and Chorizo, are LEANER than anything you can imagine with EXCELLENT flavor and just the right amount of spices. So lean that I cook them in coconut oil. Limited to one package per type per customer. In other words you can order all 3 types if you want to try them all—while they last.

SPLG’S FRUIT BASKET
Fresh coconuts, calamondin (aka sour oranges), and papayas (ripe & green!) are both available—all locally grown in St. Pete. Concorde pears from Washington State and Florida tangelos coming as well!

GCF PURCHASE DEADLINE
Your order for veggies from Geraldson Community Farm must be submitted no later than Monday 8pm TONIGHT. If you’re late then you’ll have to wait two weeks for another chance. I will send you a reminder at 6pm but you should set your own reminder in case I am delayed. You don’t have to submit your entire order by 8pm tonight, just what you want from GCF. For first timers, I suggest you submit your entire order all at once just to avoid the multiple orders. The system will think it’s time to charge a membership fee on your second order. If this should happen to you just call me so I can adjust your invoice.

HOW IS ORGANIC FOOD BETTER FOR US?
This article from Local Harvest’s Newsletter of 4/24/14 explains that a growing body of research demonstrates not only that organic food is better for us, but how. BTW, did you know that SPLG is a proud contributing member of Local Harvest? Please visit our listing and post a review while you’re there.

Grower Jim Kuntzelman of Sunset Ranch, who has supplied the homegrown pork for our sausage products, has recently sold off this portion of his business to Low Hills Cattle Company in Zephyrhills. I am encouraging the new owner to continue production of this incredible product or find someone else who can do it better. (My bet is on Geiers!) Plus, GOOD NEWS if we decide to take advantage of this new service: New Owner Matthew Grisham will soon have USDA Certified processed pork cuts for sale. I would prefer to buy a half or whole pig to get a better price but need to know if you all are interested in paying in advance to make it work. Let me know if you have interest and I’ll get the details I need.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO DELIVER ON FRIDAY
We promise to make this a fun experience for you. Yes, there are some details to manage on paper but honestly, it isn’t rocket science, and you’ll have a great ride being greeted by grateful customers. Plus you get to see all the beautiful veggies as they get delivered. It’s a great way to get familiar with our Market customers, growers, AND volunteers-by being one! Please call Tina at 727-515-9469 to get on the schedule for this Friday or an upcoming Friday. Your shift will be about 2 1/2 hours long.

GROW YOUR OWN: How to Raise Red Wrigglers

Even in retirement, Nathan is contributing to our Market by allowing me to share his instructional gardening videos. Take a look at Nathan’s video “How to Raise Red Wrigglers” filmed during one of his backyard gardening classes. It’s a great way to make compost or seed starter.

Message from Your Market Manager

I am JUST SO EXCITED this week! This season is beginning to bust out already and none too soon for me! I hope that you are as pleased as I with our variety this week.

SO “WHAT’S NEW?” TO YOU
One thing our Market is becoming known for is the diversity of “unusual” fare NOW GROWING in the St. Petersburg Area:

• Tatsoi is an Asian green that is so lovely when you get to know it. Grown in St. Pete! Even Epicurious.com has heard of it.
• Did you know that Hungarian Hot Wax Peppers can be pickled like cucumbers? or so says mariquita.com. Grown in Bradenton.
• Are you tempted to try sour oranges? Grown in St. Pete. Here are 5 Uses For Sour Orange Juice and I’m guessing you can come up with several of your own.
• Everyone is talking about the health benefits of turmeric root. Grown in St. Pete! I’ve never seen so much on our Market before at one time. So here are 90 trusted turmeric recipes complete with ratings, reviews and cooking tips.

NEW CO-OP DROP SPOT
St. Pete Locally Grown has a new co-op drop spot in the Edgemoor Neighborhood at the newly named Edgemoor Community Garden which is set back from the road at 1st Street N & 62nd Avenue N. Formerly known as the FCC Garden, the garden will now display a banner posted on playground equipment nearby announcing Edgemoor Community Garden. You will be turning from the street onto the grass and driving towards the playground area to meet our delivery van at this beautiful community garden. Let me know if you would like to pickup there and we will meet at a pre-arranged time. BTW, if you are interested in getting more info on how YOU can grow your own food there, please visit their website for all the details, and then get started. Tis the season to be planting!

RETURNING GROWERS

KITCHEN GARDENING
Not sure if kitchen gardening in Florida homes make sense. Do any of you have experience with this? Here’s Kitchen Gardening 101: How to Grow Your Own Food from KGI but I would have questions about controlling humidity and pests in the home. Might be a good option for apartment dwellers.

GROW YOUR OWN: Get More Nutrients to Your Plants

Even in retirement, Nathan is contributing to our Market by allowing me to share his instructional gardening videos. Take a look at Nathan’s video “Get More Nutrients to Your Plants” filmed during one of his backyard gardening classes. Enjoy learning how to get your soil to better feed your plants with Mycelium, a naturally occurring nutrient that you can easily introduce into your soil. Thanks to Volunteer Videographer Jeff Yentzer for filming this segment for us.

Message from Your Market Manager

WE’RE BACK!
I’ve just turned 62 and that can put one into a contemplative mood. Our Market is preparing to enter its SIXTH YEAR of operation. I sense local history being made—on a small scale but foundational nevertheless—when I think of all the wonderful growers, customers and volunteers who have graced our small local business called St. Pete Locally Grown over the past five years. I want to launch our Fall Season by giving thanks that we are still moving forward, our resources are sufficient and growing, and the local St. Petersburg Community still sees relevance and value in our humble little Market. What is to come of us in the future? My hope is that more people will follow in the footsteps of our strongly loyal volunteer base and learn this business piece by piece to make it sustainable by the time I choose to leave it behind. When will that be? When I’m no longer needed to manage it. But even then I would like to contribute in some way to its vision and sustainability. Is this my “swan song” season? I really don’t think so. I truly love the Fall and rubbing elbows in a chilly garage with like-minded souls, soaking in the camaraderie that the SPLG experience offers. Operating 8 months of the year will be sufficient for this Market until someone younger decides to manage the distribution of a summer crop to the St. Petersburg Community. Then we will have run full circle because we’ve already proven that is doable! How can you help? Wish us well… by purchasing local veggies through our online Market biweekly—or even just monthly, by volunteering in whatever capacity you can, by caring about our sustainability enough to entice new customers, and by sending us backyard urban growers. And do plan to attend our monthly potluck socials! They are such a great perk for those who have discovered them!

GCF PURCHASE DEADLINE
Orders for veggies from Geraldson Community Farm must be submitted no later then Monday 8pm TONIGHT. After that, you won’t be able to find their produce until the next Market in two weeks. I will send you a reminder at 6pm tonight but it might be best to set up your own reminder long-term. You don’t have to submit your entire order by 8pm tonight, just what you want from GCF. For first timers, I suggest you submit your entire order all at once just to avoid the multiple orders. (The system will think it’s time to charge a membership fee on your second order.) If this should happen to you just call me so I can adjust your invoice.

SPLG’S FRUIT BASKET
Fresh coconuts, carambola (aka starfruit), and papayas (both ripe and green) are available—all locally grown in St. Pete. Also available are U.S. grown bosc pears and gala apples from Washington State.

RECIPES FOR WHAT’S IN ABUNDANCE
Looks like spinach, eggplant and squash are beginning to come in strong. Here are all sorts of spinach recipes that can handle the varieties (Longevity, Ceylon, and Malabar) we have on our Market this week. With such a variety of squashes like Floridor, Zephyr, and “Eight Ball” Zucchini, any number of these zucchini recipes would be great. I plan to broil mine after splashing a little coconut oil on lengthwise planks. DO notice that we’re offering both squash & eggplant variety packs this week. This is my favorite NO-FAIL spicy eggplant recipe for which the Ping Tung Long is perfect. The only caveat is that you must be sure the eggplant you use has thin skin. Seriously, this dish even beats the locally renowned ABC Seafood’s dish.

EATING THROUGH THE WINTER
Weather is changing everywhere and I was so interested in the perspective offered by the current newsletter from Local Harvest on what farmers are going through up North as winter approaches. What do they do during the winter when the farmer’s markets have closed down? How do they earn a living? Luckily in Florida we can grow year round but finances are pretty tight in the summer months for local Florida farmers too. Great ideas from the North are worth a read on how those Northerners manage Eating Through the Winter. Did you know that SPLG is a proud contributing member of Local Harvest? Please visit our listing and post a review while you’re there.

RECENT PHOTOS OF NATHAN’S GARDEN
We have been fortunate—and SO Blessed—over the past several months to have yet another college intern in Nathan’s Garden and he has taken such lovely photos of the transformation he is helping to create there. We are very grateful to Volunteer and Intern Samuel Letchworth for these fabulous panoramic photos. Thank you Samuel!

GROW YOUR OWN: How to Deal With Bugs Organically

Pests may not always be as bad as they seem. First ask yourself, Are these bugs REALLY doing that much damage to my beautiful vegetable plants? They may munch a few leaves, but do they leave behind enough for you to eat? Take a look at Nathan’s video “Dealing with Garden Bugs, Think More Organically” filmed during one of his backyard gardening classes. Take some measures to control the pests in your garden using organic methods.

PRIORITY Volunteer & Training Opportunities

ATT: RAW DAIRY LOVERS
Our ongoing request for a volunteer to pick up dairy in Oldsmar every other Thursday afternoon. Only TWO Markets remain to train someone to fill this spot. Pam says picking up anytime after Noon until 4 or 5pm will work well. Volunteer will pick up crates (2 or 3 to transport the egg cartons) and 2 or 3 large styrofoam coolers/ice at our home on Thursday on the way to Pam’s. There is a back up person who is ready to help on an emergency basis with 3 or 4 days notice whenever the primary volunteer has something come up. We will no longer carry The Dancing Goat’s products as of Oct. 1st without a volunteer to go to Oldsmar and pick up every other Thursday for our Market. Please respond to make arrangements for training with Nathan this week (on 9/03) if at all possible.

FRIDAY DELIVERIES FOR SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER – We would like to train more delivery people to prepare for the fall wave that will descend upon us. Due to limited resources, we have been operating with just two shifts all summer. We usually have three shifts on Friday deliveries with shifts operating sometime between 1130AM & 630PM. It’s time to start shifting into a higher gear! Delivery volunteers are asked to attend a 20-minute phone conference orientation at their convenience. How does it all work? Volunteer teams of two deliver via a large air-conditioned cargo van throughout St. Petersburg, near Largo, and into Gulfport. Volunteers must be detail oriented to manage checkoff sheets and distribute invoices. Please call Tina right away at 727-515-9469 if you can help!

Summertime Volunteer & Training Opportunities

ATT: RAW DAIRY LOVERS
Our recent plan for getting raw dairy to you from The Dancing Goat has been cancelled due to a well deserved promotion and additional responsibilities for our would-be volunteer. Congratulations to Miss Carol! I am back asking for a volunteer to pick up dairy in Oldsmar every other Thursday afternoon. Pam says picking up anytime after Noon until 4 or 5pm will work well. Volunteer will pick up crates (2 or 3 to transport the egg cartons) and 2 or 3 large styrofoam coolers/ice at our home on Thursday on the way to Pam’s. There is a back up person who is ready to help on an emergency basis with 3 or 4 days notice whenever the primary volunteer has something come up. We will not be able to continue carrying The Dancing Goat’s products as of Oct. 1st without a volunteer to go to Oldsmar and pick up every other Thursday for our Market. Only THREE Markets remain to train someone to fill this spot. Please respond to make arrangements for training with Nathan this week (on 8/20) if at all possible.

FRIDAY DELIVERIES – We would like to train more delivery people to prepare for the fall wave that will descend upon us sometime in October or November. We have three shifts to fill for Friday deliveries of about 2.5-hours each sometime between 1130AM & 630PM. Delivery volunteers are asked to attend a 20-minute phone conference orientation at their convenience. How does it work? Volunteer teams of two deliver via a large air-conditioned cargo van throughout St. Petersburg, near Largo, and into Gulfport. Volunteers must be detail oriented to manage checkoff sheets and distribute invoices. If this sounds like YOU, please call Tina right away at 727-515-9469.
