    My purchases from the Salem, VA Farmers' Market Saturday, July 31, 2010

    My purchases from the Salem, VA Farmers' Market Saturday, July 31, 2010


    My youngest and I went by the Salem Farmers’ Market this afternoon and bought a bunch of stuff. We bought tomatoes from one vendor, cabbage, corn, and peaches from another, cucumbers, green peppers, and jalapeños from another one, and potatoes and green beans from a fourth vendor. We bought a Family 5 Pack of beef from Sparks Family Farms.

    The 5 pack included a 3.12lb chuck roast, 1.48lbs ground beef, 1.27lbs stew beef, 4 ground beef patties, and 2 ribeyes that weighed a total of 1.25lbs. We bought soap from Mountain Scape Soap Company, and last, but certainly not least, we bought a cherry pie from another vendor.

    After we finished at the farmers market, we ventured a couple of blocks east and bought hot dogs at the Ol Mule Hot Dog Company.

    I received an [e-mail](http://hosted.marketingcenter.intuit.com/18111/57aa937490/5401107/f7179a3de3/) from Sausser Farms stating that they’re harvesting potatoes, and the Roanoke and Lynchburg shares will consist of 5lbs of potatoes this week. I guess Homestead Creamery missed out on the potatoes this week.

    The email’s posted below:


    Hello Sausser Farms Members,

    This e-mail is for those of you in the Lynchburg and Roanoke areas.

    There will be no survey this week. This week we will have lots of potatoes. Our plan is to bag them in 5 pound increments and hopefully every share will be able to get 5 pounds. If you bought two shares, then we hope to be able to give you 10 pounds.

    And depending if we are able to harvest any additional items this week, we will have some of them available as well. But the big thing is the potatoes, because once we start harvesting them we only have a limited time to get them to market so potatoes are our focus right now.

    Hours for Friday:

    Forest, Lynchburg: 10-Noon (or until supplies last) and 3-6 (or until supplies last).

    Roanoke: 9-3 (or until supplies last).

    Hours for Saturday

    Myers & Rhodes in Lynchburg: 9-3 (or until supplies last).

    Roanoke: 9-3 (or until supplies last).

    SPECIAL ORDERS

    If you would like to make a special order request, please call Samantha at the farm and let her know what you are looking for and which day you would like to pick them up. The number is 434-542-5957.

    Pick Your Own At The Farm

    We want to thank those of you who have come out to the farm to pick your own produce and to volunteer in helping us pick. It has been great to meet you and your help is very much appreciated. If anyone else wants to come out to the farm and pick their own or volunteer pick, please feel free to come any day but Sunday. You may want to call ahead just in case.

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

    We especially want to thank you for your continued support despite the challenges we have faced. Those of you who have been so forgiving and merciful to us, we can’t thank you enough for the grace you have extended to us. You are a light in a dark world!

    And despite the challenges, the criticisms, and the threats, we will continue to plant, harvest and deliver to the best of our ability until the season is over.

    Thank you,

    Sausser Farms

      Their website is down now. I guess this is then end. Lesson learned, right? Not sure if you are based in Roanoke or further out but I get alot of bulk produce at Crow's Nest Greenhouse in Bburg…fair priced and organic, grown on site.

      Yeah I noticed the website is down too – but I wonder if it corresponds with what Roanoke Times said about a court hearing in Lynchburg today. Steve- you should see what you can track down!
