WHAT'S THE

SUNDAY IN THE
PARK
MARCH 20, 2011
|
|
Partly Cloudy
- Chance of Rain
- Rain After 6pm
- Breezy and Cool
You
decide. Take your pick.
Wait a few minutes for a different forecast!
Even the weather
forecasts can't all agree. So we're going to
plan on our Sunday Market as usual,
and determine the proper setup based on the conditions
on Sunday Morning.
We do have some "solid ground" options available
to us, and we are working toward having a few more
by Sunday Morning.
For our Vendors, we will update
you via email broadcast as information becomes available.
For our Farmers Market shoppers and patrons,
just head to the "usual" Market Location in Webb
Park; if we are unable to set up on the grass,
we will have signs at our "grassy-park"
area pointing to where to find us!
If we have any definite information ahead of time,
we will post it on
Facebook, send an alert on
Twitter, and put it on our
website. Please visit these sites
and "like", "follow" or "subscribe" to keep up with the latest
information about the Webb Park certified
Farmers Market.
Let's hope this is the last of the San
Diego "Winter" rainy-season we will have to deal
with for this year!
See you at the market.
This week's
live musical performer is singer/guitarist,
Eric James
Polyn.

THIS WEEK AT THE MARKET

MARKET SCHEDULE:
DEMONSTRATIONS:
Demonstrations will take place during the March 20th market as
the conditions allow.
POSTPONED: ROTATING SPECIALTIES
FAIRE until APRIL
Due to the late-February weather,
we have had to postpone a number of our scheduled
Specialties Events. We plan to resume the rotating
schedule in April, when there are likely to be fewer
weather-related concerns.
In the mean time, remember some of our Visiting Vendors
are still planning to come out and join us for a day
occasionally, so stop by for a few surprises!

California Crop News:

Americans lead the world in wine
consumption
America is now the world's
leading wine-consuming nation, according to the
Wine Institute. U.S. residents surpassed France in 2010, consuming
330 million cases of wine. California wine accounted
for 61 percent of that total. The French still consume
more wine per capita; because of a larger population,
U.S. consumption was higher even though Americans didn't
consume as much individually. At the same time, wine
exports increased almost 26 percent, and 90 percent
of the exports were from California.
Farmers encouraged to tell their story
California's food and
agriculture secretary encouraged a gathering of Farm
Bureau leaders to reach out to consumers and government.
Karen Ross suggested that farmers take advantage of
a renewed consumer interest in where and how their food
is produced. She encouraged growers to inform government
of regulations that impede food production without improving
food quality. Ross also said her agency will continue
to protect the state from invasive pests and maintain
food quality.
Horse vaccinations for West Nile virus urged
West Nile virus has been
found again in California, and as a result the California
State Veterinarian is urging horse owners to have their
animals
vaccinated. Last year, 19 horses were diagnosed with the disease.
They were not vaccinated or not completely vaccinated.
Getting the necessary shots will give the animals optimal
protection against the disease. The horses get the disease
from mosquito bites. Not all will die, but in the past
seven years 40 percent of the infected animals died.
Pixie tangerine season begins
The Ojai Pixie Growers
Association plans a new marketing technique this spring.
Members of the 41 families who grow these
sweet, seedless
tangerines will
visit grocery stores that carry the fruit to meet their
customers and to encourage consumers who've not tried
pixies to do so. Growers say the crop this year is good-sized,
and they may harvest more than 2 million pounds. Ojai
Valley pixies will be available from now through May.
The group started growing pixies in 1980.
California's farming future focused on water
Agriculture and water
management experts convened in the heart of California’s
Central Valley to participate in a series of panel discussions
aimed at providing greater insight into the water issues,
policies, legislation, programs, initiatives and trends
that ultimately impact California’s agricultural industry.
“Small changes in agricultural
water use efficiency can produce significant amounts
of water.”
Presented by Rain Bird,
the leading manufacturer and provider of irrigation
products and services in partnership with the Center
for Irrigation Technology (CIT) at California State
University, Fresno, The Intelligent Use of Water Summit:
California Agriculture at a Crossroads provided a forum
to discuss their experiences and propose recommendations
that address the critical relationship between California’s
agriculture industry and the state’s limited water supply.
