[Highland Park] Want to unsubscribe from this list? Don't like some of the content? Here's what to do...

Neighbors, The Neighborhood list has served Highland Park for over 7 years now and has grown to include more than 1400 subscribers. The community volunteers running the list (hi, Bob!) hope you all find the list useful, but with so much activity on the list there will always be something posted that you are not interested in. Or perhaps there are too many messages cluttering your inbox. If you're not happy with some aspect of the list, please take one of the actions listed below. But first, let me tell you what NOT to do: please don't report a list posting as spam or junk. Why not? Well, when you do that, your mail provider can take actions that affect all of their users who subscribe to the list, not just you. They might even share the report with other mail providers, affecting even more subscribers. I mention Yahoo, because right now they are delaying all messages from the Neighborhood list. They give the reasoning that they have received "too many complaints". While I have asked them to stop delaying the messages, they are unlikely to stop for long (if at all), since all it will take is for a couple of users to hit the "spam" button again. Here's what you CAN do: * Delete the message(s) you don't care for. It's the simplest option and no one else will be offended! * Use the filtering capabilities of your mail program or provider to move lists posts to a folder other than your inbox. The specifics of how to do this vary from mail provider to mail provider. The list does however identify itself as a mailing list in special headers that many filtering systems can use automatically. And of course the words "[Highland Park]" occur in each subject line in case that's your only way to identify the list. * Switch to a digest subscription if you want to receive fewer mailings. Multiple posts will be sent in each mailing, resulting in fewer messages. * Unsubscribe if you have moved, are no longer interested in the postings, etc. * Write to neighborhood-owner(a)highlandparkpa.com for assistance. We can't guarantee instant response (we're volunteers, remember? :) but will try to help you. Every message sent through the list also has a link at the bottom that takes you to a page of information about the list (including its broad policies) and an interface to login to manage your subscription. If you don't know your password there's a way to reset it. Thanks, Rudy

[Highland Park] Farmers Cooperative Market of East Liberty Update
by David Lagnese 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Update for Saturday May 1st Join us for an Olive Oil Tasting! For the past 6 months we have been bringing in coffee to the market from the Kew Park coffee farm in Jamaica. This “direct from the farm” concept is great because it provides consumers an opportunity to buy something really high quality and fresh. It also supports the farmer because it puts more money in their pocket by eliminating the middle men involved in the traditional distribution system. Recently I have been researching expanding this concept to another one of my favorite foods- olive oil. I have focused my attention on growers in California. The industry in California has come a long way over the past two decades. The industry is still developing and evolving, but California is now producing oils that are as good as the ones we get from Italy and Spain. The good news is that there are many small farms that are producing great oil. I have been corresponding with quite a few farms and they are really excited to be introduced into the Pittsburgh market. I plan to buy the oil in “bulk” and dispense it into reusable glass bottles. To get the process started, I am hosting an olive oil tasting this Saturday at the market. We will be featuring oils from 3 farms- · Corto Olive- located in Stockton · Sylverleaf Olive Oil- located in Loma Rica · Pasolivo- located in Paso Robles It will be helpful to get feedback from people to help decide which oils to carry at the market *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Riverview Dairy- I visited Sam Byler at his farm in Emlenton this week. I had a great time and was really impressed by what I saw. When I got there around 6:00 in the evening, Sam was busy doing the second milking. The goats were just wonderful and seem to have a great life. The operation is very clean and organized. The goats feed on grass in the fields and grain. I was very impressed by the sustainable practices that Sam uses in the operation. He uses a wood burning boiler to create heat for the cheese making process. He also uses huge blocks of ice that he cuts from a local pond to chill the coolers where stores the finished cheese. I got an advance look at some new cheeses that Sam is developing by forming wheels of cheese using molds, and then aging the cheese. He hopes to have them at the market in July. Zang’s Greenhouse- Rick will have some fresh locally grown salad greens. He will also have ramps again this week, which are a wonderful delicacy available only a few weeks a year. Near local (New Jersey) Swiss Chard will be at the market. Greenawalt Farm- will have fresh eggs and other items. Kistaco Farm- Local apples and cider are still available. Kew Park Coffee- Thanks to everyone who turned out to meet Peter Williams from Kew Park Estate Coffee Farm. Peter just loved meeting everyone and hearing people share stories of how they love his coffee. People seemed to like the French Press brewed coffee so we plan to continue making it at the market. See you at the market- David Lagnese The Farmers’ Cooperative Market of East Liberty is located at 344 North Sheridan Ave., adjacent to the Home Depot parking lot. The market operates year round- and is open from 5 AM until 12 Noon every Saturday of the year.
