Champaign, OH: Essential Oils...Pack Them For The Fair!
Just a quick note about essential oils, their uses, and how they can help out with fair week…
Thanks, Joe and Charlene!
In anticipation of Champaign County Fair Week! Swisher Hill Herbs… Feature Essential oils this week in the Virtual Market that can be used to deter mosquitos, spiders, ants and other nuisance insects. Oils that are good insect repellents are; Citronella and Lavender oils helps repel flies and mosquitos by putting a few drops of oil on a cotton ball, smear on door or window screens. Put a few drops on the brim of your garden hat, outside collar and cuffs of your blouse or shirt and hems of slacks and shorts. Peppermint Oil works on ridding the dwellings of spiders and ants. Make a simple concoction by filling an 8 oz. spray bottle ½ full of distilled water or boiled water, fill rest of jar to almost to the top with witch hazel or rubbing alcohol add about 20 to 30 drops of peppermint oil. Spray in corners around areas ants and spiders can be found. Patchouli oil works well on gnats and aphids. Lavender oil also works well of fleas and moths. The above recipe can be used as a guide for all of your insect problems just substitute one or a combination of the above essential oils. Let us know if you have a favorite remedy that you would like to share with others. Take Thyme, Joe and Charlene Stapleton Swisher Hill Herbs

Martin's Farmstand: Pesto and Pickles
It is time to get cucumbers and pickles for your canning needs. The next couple of weeks are the peak cucumber season.
It is the best time to get bulk basil for pesto etc now while the nights are warm.. Basil is a heat loving plant and is at its best now. As soon as the nights get cold toward the end of the month or in September it gets a lot more ugly and does not grow much. Beans and dill are also abundant.
Right now we do not have much for tomatoes as the greenhouse crop is slowing sooner than normal because of a whole assortment of stresses from rough weather through the spring that has resulted in a lot of damage from blight and leaf molds.(not late blight) The outside tomato crop looks lovely and we should have lots of tomatoes again fairly soon.

Gwinnett Locally Grown: The Market is open for ordering. Salmon is here!
The Market is open Thursday at 9 – Monday at noon After that, ordering is disabled until Thursday morning. Pick up your order Tuesday from 4:00-7:00 p.m. only at Rancho Alegre Farm at 2225 Givens Road, Dacula, GA 30019. New to The Market? Learn about how it works here.
Salmon Update!
The Salmon is Available for Ordering!
Good morning. The salmon is now on the Market! We have sent an email to those who wanted on the list as first priority so we will be watching for those folks to order first. You may continue to order after the first week until the supply runs out.* I’m being told that there may be a chance for a second catch to be added but not guaranteed yet. So if you are wanting salmon, I recommend purchasing while you have the chance.
This deliciously fresh salmon is carefully selected directly from the fishermen’s nets from the cold Alaskan waters before it ever enters the ship’s hold. Only the best is chosen to become part of " Running Wild Alaskan Seafood’s" premium offerings. The fish is immediately bled and iced down before making the short boat ride to the processor located in Homer, Alaska. Here it is quickly processed and flash frozen (to ensure freshness) then packed into coolers for the overnight trip to Georgia. This is the freshest salmon available without going to Alaska to catch it yourself. Red Sockeye salmon is packed with flavor and nutrition.
The packages will be in a couple different ounce packages and range in prices based on $19.00 a pound.
See you Tuesday!
