Funky Friday Farmers Market at BADSEED - A MUST ON FRIDAYS IN THE CROSSROADS ~~~~~ 4-9pm

This is Farmer Brooke and I have some very exciting news:

The BADSEED Farmers Market (every Friday night from 4-9 PM) is now accepting food stamps!! We have a fancy little machine that allows us to swipe your EBT card for the desired amount. That amount can then be used towards purchases of fresh produce, artisan goat cheese, breads & treats, gourmet mushrooms, free-range meats, organic coffee, wheat grass, kombucha, and any other mouth-watering delights the market has to offer. Heck yeah! Tell your friends......

This is a BIG deal for me as a (low-income) farmer. To be perfectly honest, I often lament at the fact that I grow food for rich people! Local-organic food should not be exclusive to the upper-middle class. It should be available to everyone. However, that is easier said than done when we have an entire nation addicted to and dependent on factory foods. A big pat on the back should be given to theindustrial food system and agribusiness for managing to make a McDonald's extra value meal cheaper than your average head of cabbage at the expense of our health and integrity..........not to mention the exploitation of our environment and human labor.

The truth is good food just isn't cheap. But it is a lot cheaper than the real costs of the other stuff. Let's put it this way - a head of cabbage is a heck of a lot cheaper than the average medical bill or your monthly prescriptions.

Alright, alright, enough with the "food activist" bit.....let's move on to the "sexy talk":

***Sexy Veggie of the Week***


This
week's
runner-up
is...

none

other

than...

FLAME Gourmet Cutting Lettuce. With her frilly maroon leaves and sweet disposition she is sure to tempt even the most discerning lettuce connoisseurs. Find this hot-red mama in BADSEED Farm's Red Velvet Lovers Mix - an incredibly sensuous (all red) salad mix with ruby accents of baby red chard, bronze fennel, and neon orange nasturtium flowers. This mix is absolutely off the radar. Available in limited quantities. Impress the one you love....

And now the moment we've all been waiting for.....this week's grand prize winner (drum roll please) is RAINBOW CHARD.



So help me God.....this is one sexy veggie. Her ooooh sooooo luscious leaves with neon stalks in fuchsia, canary yellow, burnt orange, and deep red are enough to put a farmer over the edge. She sways gracefully in the field singing "saute me" with olive oil, sea salt, yellow raisins and pine nuts.......or just wear my giant leaves as a hula skirt and dance around.

Pictures are attached. Go crazy.







Moving

right

along....



New Vendor Alert
Please give a buzzing welcome to Les Miller of Millers HONEY!! Boy oh boy does this man know how to charm some bees!! Miller produces pure, raw, extraordinary honey using holistic and sustainable practices. Les has a heck of a story. He grew up in Sugar Creek near the infamous Amoco Fuel Refinery. Due to necessity he spent his child hood in the dirt growing food for his entire family. Today, many of the folks he new back in ole' Sugar Creek suffer from cancer. He attributes his long-standing good health to home-grown foods and a whole lotta' honey. For the last couple years Les has been fighting the City of Independence to keep his bees. The bureaucrats have backed off for now and those bees are still a buzzin'. Good thing for us honey lovers. Bee sure to get as taste this Friday.

Senate Western Caucus begs for attention from Locavores Like You

It seems clear, from the Senate Western Caucus' (SWC) press release provided below, that "rural America" is still being re-redefined by a growing number of politicians across the country. The SWC is taking a position opposing EPA's protection of water resources, the Dept. of the Interior's protection of wildlands, and the USDA's "Know Your Farmer" initiatives.

What do you think? Are you a locavore with opinions worthy of political support? Are you a local grower who has discovered a better way?

Get busy, KC... let our representatives know how long-term subsidies for "conventional" agriculture have weakened and enslaved the average farmer. Let them know how large-scale food producers with "addictions" to petro-chemical inputs (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, etc.) and GMO and GE crop "solutions" are becoming more and more dependent upon destructive, polluting and increasingly unreliable fossil-fuel delivery systems, and that they (the vast majority of our growers) deserve the chance to make a more-affordable, long-term transition to natural, organic and sustainable methodologies.

Fight corporate intrusion, folks - the BIG oil companies have had their day. The cleanup is underway, but it will take decades to complete it. We just don't need to bankrupt and pollute our agricultural systems, our people and our country in order to prop up corporate profits - we definitely need to stop selling ourselves short and take a stand for sustainability measures that will carry us into the next century. Let's work to promote *those* concepts and keep moving forward - let's find ways to send our own message to the organizers of the National Summit of Rural America, and see what happens.

Senator Roberts to the President: Consider Policy Effects on Rural America

May 06 2010

Senator Roberts to the President: Consider Policy Effects on Rural America

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Pat Roberts today joined Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) and other key Western state Senators in sending a letter to the President to consider the negative consequences of policies that especially penalize rural America.

The letter, sent today, was signed by members of the Senate Western Caucus. The following is the text of the letter:

The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

We urge you to utilize the National Summit of Rural America to be held June 3, 2010 as a turning point for this Administration. For too long, the agenda has been dominated by policies that burden rural communities with higher energy costs, greater federal intrusion, and decreased access to the lands we cherish. This summit offers an opportunity to replace restrictive Washington mandates with policies that create jobs and promote economic growth.

The Administration has repeatedly placed bureaucratic hurdles in rural communities. In January 2010, the Department of the Interior announced onshore oil and gas leasing reforms that will increase bureaucracy, stifle job creation, and hurt states’ budgets. The Department is also considering locking up at least 13 million acres of land in 11 western states. Moving forward with plans to deny access to public lands for economic and recreational use will have severe consequences for rural America’s way of life and its economic future.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to reach even further into the lives of rural Americans. Its Endangerment Finding will allow EPA to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from schools, hospitals, farms, and many other small businesses. EPA’s command-and-control regulatory approach will impose massive new energy costs on all aspects of the rural way of life. The EPA also advocates complete federal regulation of all waters in every state, from prairie potholes to puddles and playas. This allows the federal government to inject itself into rural life like never before. Furthermore, EPA’s new regulation of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers will have wide spread negative effects on food production and rural income. EPA’s regulations will hurt job growth and stifle economic recovery in rural areas.

The Administration’s policies for production agriculture increase risk on family farms. The U.S. Department of Agriculture proposed cuts to critical programs that benefit farmers, ranchers and rural communities. The Department increasingly directs funds and policy away from conventional agricultural production that feeds the vast majority of Americans and the growing global population. Instead, the Administration focuses on urban niche markets and hobby farmers. Finally, the Administration’s refusal to promote existing trade agreements or reform the death tax harms rural America. Our farmers and ranchers supply the safest, most abundant, most affordable and high quality food system in the world. The Administration should abandon policies that erode agriculture production and threaten rural communities.

As Senators from states with strong rural communities, we encourage you to take a hard look at the effect of Administration policies. We also request that you meet with us to discuss the many issues facing rural America. Folks in our rural communities know that federal regulations will not create jobs or get the economy back on track. Instead, Washington should get out of the way so that rural Americans can grow their businesses, create new jobs, and provide for their families and communities.

Sincerely,
Senator John Barrasso (R-WY)
Senator Bob Bennett (R-UT)
Senator John Ensign (R-NV)
Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY)
Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE)
Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Senator Jim Risch (R-ID)
Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS)
Senator John Thune (R-SD)

Last week, Senator Roberts, Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, and Senator McCain sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack concerned that in the interest of promoting local food systems through the “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” program, the Department of Agriculture appears to be prioritizing locavore projects in urban areas, apparently at the expense of production agriculture and rural communities with documented rural development needs.

In the letter, dated April 27, 2010, the Senators said:

“While the concept of educating consumers about production agriculture is a worthwhile endeavor, we have serious misgivings about the direction of the Know Your Farmers program.
“Unfortunately, this spending doesn’t appear geared toward conventional farmers who produce the vast majority of our nation’s food supply, but is instead aimed at small, hobbyist and organic producers whose customers generally consist of affluent patrons at urban farmers markets.

“American families and rural farmers are hurting in today’s economy, and it’s unclear to us how propping up the urban locavore markets addresses their needs. Given our nation’s crippling budgetary crisis, we also believe the federal government cannot afford to spend precious Rural Development funds on feel-good measures which are completely detached from the realities of production agriculture.”

Senator Roberts is a member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry and is an outspoken advocate for rural America.

Help the NOC Maintain the USDA Ban ~ STOP GENETICALLY ENGINEERED ALFALFA

NOC logo#1National Organic Coalition
STOP!
GENETICALLY ENGINEERED ALFALFA!
Senator Leahy and Representative DeFazio are circulating a Congressional sign-on letter in the House and Senate "Asking USDA to Maintain the Ban on Genetically Engineered Alfalfa"

Contact your Senators and Representative Today
If you do not know who they are click here.

Call: the U.S. Capitol Switchboard: (202)224-3121 and ask for your Senator/Representative's office.
Speak with the agriculture staff person or leave a message:
►Ask them to sign on to the
"Dear Colleague Letter to USDA about Banning GE Alfalfa"
Senators should contact:
Adrienne Wojciechowski, Sen. Leahy's office;
House Representatives should contact:
Emily Rohlffs in Rep. DeFazio's office

Email or Fax: Below is a template that you can use in emailing or faxing your Congressional Delegation. You can simply fill in the information in italics to personalize the cover note and attach the PDF of the letter.

Dear (Your Congressman/woman's Name here):

As you may know, Senator Leahy and Representative DeFazio are circulating a Congressional sign-on letter in the House and Senate asking USDA to maintain the ban on Genetically Engineered Alfalfa. (That letter is attached here.)
Monsanto wants to sell its genetically engineered (GE) alfalfa and wants the USDA to approve its permit application, but consumers, farmers, dairies, and food companies don't want GE alfalfa plants and seeds released into the environment.
USDA's Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) admits that if GE alfalfa is approved:
* GE Contamination of non-GE and organic alfalfa crops will occur
* GE contamination will economically impact small and family farmers
* Foreign export markets will be at risk due to rejection of GE contaminated products
* Farmers will be forced to use more toxic herbicides to remove old stands of alfalfa
Yet, USDA has decided that these impacts are insignificant and have dismissed the concerns of farmers and consumers in our state.
As a (farmer/rancher/seed dealer/consumer) from (your town or county) I urge you to sign on to this Dear Colleague Letter as soon as possible. (feel free to include any personal stories here)
To sign on you should contact: (choose one)
Senators: Adrienne Wojciechowski in Senator Leahy's office
(Adrienne.w (a) judiciary-dem.senate.gov)
Representatives: Emily Rohlffs in Rep. DeFazio's office
(emily.rohlffs (a) mail.house.gov)
If you have questions or would like to discuss the importance of this letter, feel free to contact me at (your name, address, email and telephone.)
This letter from Congress directs USDA Secretary Vilsack to maintain the Regulated Status of GE Alfalfa and to not allow its further commercialization.
Monsanto wants to sell its genetically engineered (GE) alfalfa and wants the USDA to approve its permit application, but consumers, farmers, dairies, and food companies don't want GE alfalfa plants and seeds released into the environment.
USDA's Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) admits that if GE alfalfa is approved:
* GE Contamination of non-GE and organic alfalfa crops will occur
* GE contamination will economically impact small and family farmers
* Foreign export markets will be at risk due to rejection of GE contaminated products
* Farmers will be forced to use more toxic herbicides to remove old stands of alfalfa
Yet, unbelievably, USDA has decided that these impacts are insignificant! And, intends to approve Monsanto's Roundup Ready™ GE alfalfa anyway


Tell Your Congress Member that you DO NOT support the deregulation of GE alfalfa, because:
► GE contamination of non-GE and organic crops would be inevitable
► You won't buy products that are GE-contaminated
► Alfalfa is a major food source for livestock -- GE alfalfa would destroy the integrity of organic dairy
►You support rights of farmers to grow crops of their choice -- GE contamination makes that impossible
► GE crops increase pesticide use, harming human health and the environment

Farmers' Community Market at Brookside - SATURDAYS 8am-1pm

BROOKSIDE

SUNSHINE THIS SATURDAY AT THE MARKET!!!

For those of you who have been following our egg/health department saga - thanks for your support and feedback. We are working on what seems to be a simple solution. Border Star has agreed to provide space for storage of refrigeration. We are looking at a possible purchase of an on-site refrigerator for our egg vendors. However, this purchase was not in our 2010 budget, so donations from our supporters are welcome!!!

Here's what's fresh and new with our vendors:

From Blue Door Farm:

Ah, sunshine. It is supposed to be sunny on Saturday, right? I hope so, as the plants in the field seem to have taken all that rain and "popped"! The summer crops will be happy next week, but this week the cool season crops had a great time.
I'll have a full and tasty table this week with: Broccoli Raab, Fennel, Spring mix (a new and tender planting!), Chard, Head Lettuce, Kohlrabi, "Pink Beauty" Radishes, and Spring Garlic!
I'll also be bringing herb and veggie transplants as well as great flowers for your yard, garden or patio.
See you soon,
Laura
Hello, Dog Lovers - We were rained out last week but we're ON again for this week. Join us Saturday morning at Brookside Community Farmers Market & at the First Annual Crestwood Dog Show.

Bear Creek Farms

Another sloshy week - 7 inches. The ark is almost ready - we'll be selling tickets at market this Saturday. Come early, space is limited.

And while we are at market we'll also have snow peas, asparagus, incredibly yummy head lettuce (we've been having huge salads every night - add boiled eggs, lightly steamed asparagus, fresh strawberries, snow peas, cottage cheese and whatever else is hiding in the ice box - the perfect spring supper!) and broccoli.

It looks like it is going to perfect weather on Saturday. For those of you who've been holding out waiting to get your tomato plants - we'll have plenty. We'll also have lots of herb transplants and more.

From Kansas City Center for Urban Agriculture and the KC Community Farm
Where has this week gone? The sun on Tuesday was grand. But, you know, I’ve even begun to really enjoy these last few rainy days of spring. With 90s forecasted for SATURDAY and next week, I’m wondering if these are the last cool, snuggly days we’ll have for a while?
But before I get all sentimental about six inches too much rain…
Here’s what will be at our corner stand this week…
BABY SQUASH, Spring garlic, beautiful green onions, leeks, scallions, fennel, spinach, salad mix, lettuce mix, head lettuce, microgreens, pea shoots, arugula, Chinese cabbage, Chinese broccoli, broccoli raab, BROCCOLI, Swiss chard, kale bunches,
collard bunches braising mix, cucumbers, kohlrabi,turnips, beets, carrots, radishes and fresh cut herbs.
We’re bringing the transplants for a few more weeks only, so get what you need and want for your own garden now. We’ll be there to help!
See you Saturday
Green Dirt Farm will have Dirt Lover, Wee Woolly and Woolly Rind cheeses

this week (this batch is really lovely!) and all of our flavors of Fresh

plus our new Feta. We will have a small amount of lamb cuts.
Hope to see you!
Sarah
Red Ridge Farms
Well the weather is looking up, and we are all smiles around here. Planted 50 trays of 'stuff' this
morning and hope to plant again Friday morning, too! Come see us Saturday- beautiful peony and iris
bouquets, transplants, containers full of herbs and flowers, stepping stones, hypertufa pots, and-
oh yes- goodies to eat too. Microgreens look especially good so far (this week's experiment might
just be a success!!), more ramps, lettuce, spinach, cilantro, etc. Will bring more of those pepper
transplants that sold so fast!

See you Saturday.
From Childrens' Corner - Hello! We're making egg box critters this weekend! Bugs and insects with wobbly eyes, pipecleaners
and recycled egg boxes! How many legs will your bug have?

Border Star Montessori
Rain, rain and more rain. We hate it but plants are happier about it 
than us. My garden is doing beautifully with all this rain. I guess 
part of this is a testament to the raised bed (Square Ft Gardening 
Method). So, don't let all this rainy weather keep you from getting 
your garden put in. I'll have tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash, 
cucumbers, pumpkins, watermellon, sunchokes and much more. Let the rain 
help you establish your plants and forget that water bill. At least 
until the summer! We'll be bringing our kitty litter earth boxes this 
week as well. For those who don't have a garden and still want 
tomatoes, this might be the best option for you! See y'all Saturday!
 
Dave
Hello Brookeside Friends!
Will this rain ever let the plants grow. Our garden is having a slow start without some sun to go with

all the water. Josiah feels he will never have tomatoes!  We will have our burritos that will be filled

with farm fresh eggs, Benidict Builders sausage, collard greens, onion, cheese and potatoes. Our

Vegetarian burritos will have eggs, collard greens, onion, cheese and potatoes. These are a wonderful

market breakfast to enjoy while you shop the market. If a sweet tooth is what you have try a scone

or Honey pecan roll with Puddin' Head coffee to brighten your day.


The usual breads, cookies, granola, and bread sticks will be available for your weekday needs, so come

by and see Luke or Chris.
See you Saturday,
Kathy, Luke and Chris
