Vote For Your Favorite Farmer's Market

Care2.com and LocalHarvest.org have teamed up to give farmer's markets another way to spread the word they exist and to gain a bit of extra cash to help sustain their efforts. They have a chance to win $5,000 in the "Love Your Farmers Market" online contest, sponsored by Care2.com and LocalHarvest.org. Every vote helps promote local food, family farms and sustainable agriculture.

This link is to the Otsiningo Market where Venita (sister in law) and Dave (brother) have their stand. Yes, I'd like it if you voted for that particular market.

However, to me, which is just as important is, voting for any market you support. Period. Show the cynics that farm markets DO work and they ARE important.

Thank You!

Most high, all-powerful, all good, Lord! All praise is yours, all glory, all honor And all blessing.

To you alone, Most High, do they belong. No mortal lips are worthy to pronounce your name.

All praise be yours, my Lord, through all that you have made,And first my lord Brother Sun,Who brings the day; and light you give to us through him.

How beautiful is he, how radiant in all his splendor! Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.

All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Moon and Stars; In the heavens you have made them, bright And precious and fair.

All praise be yours, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, And fair and stormy, all the weather's moods, By which you cherish all that you have made.

All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Water,so useful, lowly, precious, and pure.

All praise be yours, my Lord, through Brother Fire,Through whom you brighten up the night.How beautiful he is, how joyful! Full of power and strength.

All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Earth,Who feeds us in her sovereignty and produces Various fruits and colored flowers and herbs.
