About the Cover This year’s cover painting, “Radiant Wheat Gives Life,” by awardwinning artist Phyllis Verhyen conveys the uniqueness of the sun’s brilliant light reflecting grains of wheat in plein air style. The sun represents our source of all life, health and goodness created

by God which is the painting’s center of interest. Notice how the taller stems of wheat are moving downward to the visual impression of the Earth’s rich vibrant shadow colors. Paintings are available as limited edition, fine art Giclée reproduction prints and cards.

Phyllis can be contacted at pverhyen@gmail.com, or 920532-6612 or to view her work visit www.inkdroparthaus.com.

She is available to create reasonably priced paintings of your community, with your advantage to purchase fine art Giclee prints for resale.

Phyllis has made this edition’s cover painting available for purchase with proceeds going to the Farm Fresh Atlas of Eastern Wisconsin. 8 X 10 reproduction prints or 5 X 7 post cards can be purchased by contacting the Atlas at farmfresheastwi@gmail. com or call 920‑418-2718.

Community Supported Agriculture: More Veggies!

Written by Jake Lambrecht

Are you one of those people who vows to “eat more fresh veggies this year?” In spring many people have visions of carting armloads of dark green leafy vegetables from their perfectly cared for garden to grace the dinner table. I am one of those people that doesn’t get this accomplished nearly as much as I would like. For busy folks like myself a CSA farm is a perfect way to help.

CSA stands for “community supported agriculture”.

Simply, how a CSA generally works is that you sign up as a subscriber on a farm by paying for a “share”. There are winter shares and summer shares and the sign-up times are different so contact your local CSA farmer for more information on sign-up and delivery times.

By going to www.localharvest.org you will see a list of local CSA farms in your area to serve you. You can also contact your local co-op which in Sheboygan is Goodside Grocery. I suggest calling the farm and asking about their CSA since there are quite a few options when it comes to share sizes, delivery, cost, season length, locations, varieties of produce and meats, and growing methods. If you want a hands-on experience, ask the farm about a worker share program in which you can save some money on your share in exchange for your labor.

Certainly one can expect that most CSA farms want to provide naturally grown (many times organic) produce with high quality flavor. Supporting a local business and having fresh food from a farmer you know is of high value as well. It’s often stunning to people that lettuce picked that day from the farmer lasts for weeks instead of days in the fridge. The most common reason people join a CSA, I suspect from personal experience, is for health reasons.

Joining a CSA almost certainly will support you in eating those veggies (you paid for them already, right?). You may be more adventurous in the kitchen and expand your palate. You may discover that the vegetable you thought you hated, really isn’t that bad. Perhaps, even joining a CSA will force you to finally get serious about that weight loss or health concern your doctor is bugging you about. It’s incredible how having a farmer as a resource and a community of dozens or hundreds of fellow CSA share members in your network helps you overcome the barrier of eating and buying healthier foods.

Hopefully you have a bit better of an understanding of why a CSA farm can be a great tool for you and your community.

Considering Season Extensions Written By: Carrie Caselton Lowe.

The seed catalogs are trickling in and visions of this year’s gardens are taking shape. Even with a mild autumn like we had last year, it’s always the case that most gardeners want crops to last a little longer than Mother Nature allows. This year was basil for me. The earliest frost killed our basil too soon. We don’t have a lot of season extension at Glacial Hills Community Farm, so when the cold frost settles, which happens earlier in the hills than other areas, much of our warm weather crops are done.

At our small scale farm, we don’t use any serious season extension with permanent structures because, frankly, farming in winter is cold and cleaning vegetables in winter is no fun. We do, however, use simple, inexpensive season extension techniques because a little layer of insulation for the vegetables makes a major difference. But there are other benefits.

Low tunnels are quite easy and inexpensive to set up.

Whether using fabric row cover or plastic, the material can be supported over the crops by using hoops of heavy gauge wire (9 gauge works well) or PVC. The length of the hoops depends on the width of your garden beds.

A call to your local garden center will tell you what’s available locally. Otherwise, a quick internet search for row cover, garden fabric, or low tunnel plastic offers a lot of information as well.

The influences of season extension are many. Sure enough, the crops are insulated from the cold on both ends of the season, but they are also protected from many pests. Any cabbage family crop does well when started under a low tunnel, which protects from the onslaught of spring flea beetles and cabbage moth caterpillars. The row cover can be removed once the tender seedlings are old enough to handle a few cabbage moths and the flea beetles have flown the coop, so to speak. Another benefit of using plastic is for crops that don’t like as much water as we sometimes get, namely tomatoes. Tomatoes grow best with a consistent volume of water over time. Tomato diseases spread easily when tomato leaves get wet, and the fruits split during large rain events. So tomatoes grown under plastic (with good ventilation) can allow for even water distribution with the use of irrigation and prevent disease. BUT pollination can be inhibited by covering tomatoes; it doesn’t stop fruit production, but it decreases yield. So plant a lot of pollinator friendly plants next to your tomato tunnels when covering them.

Low tunnels won’t work for crops like tomatoes, so for larger vegetables you will need to install a higher tunnel. Of course there are the large, permanent hoop houses that most of our local vegetable farmers use, but there are also smaller, temporary structures that you can build called caterpillar tunnels. My husband and I have built one of these. For about $200, we built a caterpillar tunnel with a 75’ by 50’ foot piece of plastic, 10 - 20’ x 1” PVC hoops, 20 pieces of 3’ rebar hammered into the ground for stakes, and a whole lot of bailing twine. Hay bales placed along the edges helped to hold the side walls in place when the wind picked up. So for anyone with a little extra space, a caterpillar tunnel might be a nice, inexpensive option.

Another very simple season extension and pest suppression technique is to use large cans, like the ones in the food service industry for canned fruit and vegetables. Simply cut out both ends of the cylinder and place the large can over your early seedlings. This technique creates a mini greenhouse for the seedling and, surprisingly, protects the plants from pests. We use these cans for our kale every year, and the kale grows beautifully without impact from the infamous flea beetles.

So as you are perusing your seed catalogs and planning your garden, consider boosting your garden’s performance with the use of some season extensions.

Below are some useful websites you might want to visit. http://extension.psu.edu/plants/plasticulture/technologies http://www.growingformarket.com/articles/ caterpillar-tunnel-hoophouse http://www.johnnyseeds.com/c-234-season-extension-supplies. aspx?source=W_tools_ddcat

Healthy Soil, Healthy Plants, Healthy Food

Source: Soil Science Healthy environments have key indicators which tell the story of just how healthy any given ecosystem is. Healthy ecosystems offer visual clues that anyone can observe. Typically, higher diversity equates to a healthier environment. Soil is no different. If soil is healthy it will contain a high diversity of organisms along with high levels of chemical and microbial interactions. In healthy ecosystems, these interactions and processes will be found no matter where you look.

These functions play an important role in breaking down organic matter into usable nutrients for plants and other soil dwelling organisms, protecting plants from diseases and predators, and are important for soil stability.

In essence, over the long term, heathier soils are more productive soils.

Society of America So, how does this equate to healthy food? Healthier soil allows for better nutrient uptake by plants and in turn leads to nutritionally richer food. “…all animals get their food directly or indirectly from plants, and all plants get their food from the soil. Therefore, mineraldeficient soil may be one of the greatest original sources of disease in the world today. According to D. W. Cavanaugh, M.D., of Cornell University, “There is only one major disease and that is malnutrition.

All ailments and afflictions to which we may fall heir are directly traceable to this major disease.”

Simply stated, food crops grown on depleted soil produce malnourished bodies, and disease preys on malnourished bodies.”

(Empty Harvest, 1990).

Natural disturbances such as floods, drought, or fire, and how we manage our soil through the addition of fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, tilling, and cropping cycles, can have either a positive or negative impact on soil health. Natural disturbances and the practices of management disturbances (cultivation, pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides) cause stresses on soil organisms. These can result in temporary or permanent disruptions in soil populations. If soils are healthy, the disruptions will quickly return to healthy states. If stresses continue for long periods of time, a new, possibly a less diverse, system will take hold.

To the farmer, soil is where crops grow. To the engineer, soil is a foundation upon which to build. To the ecologist, soil supports communities of living things. To the archaeologist, soil holds clues to past cultures.

To the city dweller, soil nurtures grass and gardens.

To the soil scientist, soil is all of these things.

To conclude, “Soil is an amazing substance.

A complex mix of minerals, air, and water, soil also teems with countless micro-organisms, and the decaying remains of onceliving things. Soil is made of life and soil makes life.

Soil has been called “the skin of the earth” because it is the thin outermost layer of the Earth’s crust.

Like our own skin, we can’t live without soil.”

Slow Down & Taste the Difference

By Carrie Caselton Lowe.

Carrie is the Nutrition and Wellness Coordinator at Plymouth Community Education. If you’re interested in more from Carrie, find her at redtwig.weebly.com.

Terroir [tare-wahr’] - the conditions in which a food is grown or produced that give the food its unique characteristics.

Terroir is a word of French origin meaning “soil or land” and has been used for centuries to describe the “taste of place” of wine and the local environmental conditions of its grapes. The word has migrated beyond its French vineyards and is now being used to describe flavors of foods like artisanal cheese, coffee and chocolate.

This idea of terroir invites us to see and taste our food as much more than its outward appearance. An apple, for example, is a reflection of its local geology, climate, tree variety, invertebrate and vertebrate neighbors.

Taken to another level, that apple is not possible without the hands of generations of breeders, ancient seas and glaciers, the Earth’s atmosphere, the star we call the sun, and ultimately the expanding universe.

With local food becoming increasingly accessible, we can begin to taste the landscape of flavor in an ever increasing variety of crops. We can experience the diversity of heirloom tomatoes, the difference between a summer carrot and winter carrot, spinach sweetened by autumn frost, and sourdough bread baked with locally grown heritage grains. What’s more, the terroir we experience is enhanced when we eat ethically start to finish - supporting good land use practices, seed and livestock diversity, local businesses, and future food security.

But there’s one prerequisite to truly tasting the terroir of our food: time. We cannot taste the landscape of flavor if we are eating in front of a screen or chewing our food unconsciously. So, in order to complete the cycle, we need to honor the countless organisms and actions it takes to get the food to our plates. In other words, to taste terroir I challenge us to slow down. Let’s take the time to really enjoy our food that we have so carefully procured - cook it with love, sit down, look at its colors, smell its aromas, chew slowly, and even set the fork down. So this year as we grow our own and buy locally, may we slow down and savor the terroir of that which nourishes us, our communities, land, and water.

Lifelong Friend-Forever in our minds

2017 Farm Fresh Atlas of Eastern Wisconsin dedicated to Jerold Berg The Atlas team is dedicating the 2017 publication to Jerold Berg for his 14 years of personal time, endless energy, and financial resources.

Jerold J Berg was 80, from the town of Lyndon and passed away on November 8, 2016, as a result of injuries sustained in an auto accident. He was an early adopter of new pasturing techniques and to this year continued to graze heifers each summer. Retirement from milking did not slow Jerold down as he was active in organizations supporting nature and sustainable agriculture at Riveredge Nature Center, Wellspring, Grassworks, and the North American Rock Garden Association.

There was no greater friend than Jerold, who helped launch the first issue in 2004 with the help of Riveredge Nature Center, Glacierland Resource Conservation @Development, Kathleen and Fred Depies. Jerold Berg brought us all together with Riveredge Nature Center and provided funding to make Jerold J Berg it all possible. Jerold has been on the committee every year to help make all Jerold will be greatly missed as we the issues a reality. His distribution efforts for the Farm move forward promoting the many benefits of local Fresh Atlas were spread far and wide. food and small farm food production to consumers.
