Brassell’s Sprouts Market:  Thanksgiving Turkey Pre-Order


THANKSGIVING PLANNING

It’s hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we want to help you with your “Thanksgiving To Do List”.

Brassell’s Sprouts grower, Circle H Homestead, is taking pre-orders for smoked turkey.

These turkeys will be brined, injected, seasoned and smoked to perfection and brought to you freshly cooked and refrigerated for you to reheat for your Holiday meal.
All for just $6 per pound, or roughly $72 for a 12 pound turkey.

There will be two pick up date options:
Nov 11 and Nov 21.

You will be able to pick up your turkey at the market pick up from 6-6:30 at the Tiger Mart in Whitney and 7:15-8 at the Courthouse square in Hillsboro.

To place your order, please fill out the form below:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mN9-nxLcSj4nKgYRkTd6IYt1_WAjOy4LXave551R8wA/edit

Because this is a pre-order, filling out this Google doc will be the only way to order a Thanksgiving Turkey. There will not be an option for it directly on the market. Please email with any questions!

Champaign, OH:  Season Of The Witch


When I look out my window
Many sights to see
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
That it’s strange, so strange
You’ve got to pick up every stitch…
(Donovan)

It’s that time of the year, lovelies…it’s October, the weather is just perfect, the colors are about to go golden, and then, yes…we head into Halloween…the thrill of the month…

Today is the first Tuesday of October, and you still have time to get your weekly orders in!

Old99Farm Market:  Old99 Farm, week of Oct 1 2023


Thank you all who helped move the hay bales into the barn. It went smoothly and fast, and then we sat down to a most convivial discussion of food and healthy nutrition.

Our annual cider day will happen this year on Sat Oct 14 from 3 to 5. It’s kid friendly. Pls RSVP if you intend to come.

The subscription plan “Let Me Be Your Farmer” is up and running. Pay in advance for 3 months purchases of veg, fruit, eggs, meats and anything you buy from Old99, and get 10% discount plus special surprises. Still order a la carte. The farm benefits from a more secure customer commitment and has cashflow to buy inputs like seed and nutrient. You get the choicest items for your basket, a la carte. Typically I’d expect $1500 to $2000 per quarter.
Sign up with an email to me. old99farm2015@gmail.com

Reishi Mushroom double extraction is great for the thyroid, immune system and anti cancer. Look up more at https://www.kindroot.com and read about it in the Feb 25, 2023 edition

Quarter Spring Farm: is proud to present pounds and pounds of perfectly pastured poultry products for your palate’s pleasure. Our scintillating skin softening soaps are suavely secented and smell supberb. We also have lamb products.

Thweatt Things: Added a new item this week, the Walker Tote organizer fits over most walkers and makes a stable holder for newspapers, remotes, fiber arts and crafts, tissues, phones and water bottles. These lightweight totes are made of cotton and completely washable. These make great gifts for the elderly who rely on walkers for mobility. Or Mother’s with strollers to keep items handy. Also will work on shopping carts.

The start-up of school means more time to sew and I’m doing just that. This fall I’m featuring handmade Egg-gathering Aprons in both adult and kids sizes. These are made from 100% cotton, pre-washed and machine washable and dryable for easy care. The pockets for the eggs are large enough to accommodate a larger egg (like a duck egg) or a couple of hen eggs. These could also be useful for crafting or any other activity where small pockets might come in handy. Check out my posts for pricing info. I can also customize them for you if you’d like a matching adult/child combo. Thanks for looking.

Lavendar Cottage: We are enjoying meeting the market customers as they pickup their Stones River Market orders on the Porch or visit Quinn’s Mercantile, we plan to be there few more times so you can see what we have and enjoy samples.
