(Posted 11-13-11) KGLP 91.7 FM , the Gallup area's PUBLIC NPR station is considering providing a low-power translator/repeater for our area. This would be contingent upon factors such as local interest and support of the station. If there is sufficient interest they might be able to raise enough funds from a combination of local pledges, corporate donations, and a little foundation money to establish a rural network. Programing information for KGLP is available at KGLP.ORG
KGLP continues to provide public service announcements supporting arts and activities in our community.
If you are interested in KGLP providing local service and would pledge to support KGLP when there is local service, you can either sign the petition to KGLP located at the Inscription Rock Trading & Coffee at El Morro or send an email directly to manager@kglp.org indicating your support.
Ramah Farmer's Market Web Site (Posted 1-18-11)There's a revolution going on in the area of Ramah and Timberlake Ranch. Local growers of organic foods, delivery systems, and consumers of healthy locally grown foods have come together for the benefit of everyone. Check out the lively, informative web site and the link to "The Farmer's Beet" the bi-monthly newsletter of the Farmer's Market in Ramah, New Mexico. |

PRODUCERS’ MARKET RETURNS!
The El Morro Valley Co-op and the Ramah Farmers Market will be conducting the Local Producers Market (LPM) again this fall in front of the El Morro Feed and Seed store in El Morro. The LPM will offer produce and other local products beginning Saturday October 8th from 10:00 to 11:00 am, and continuing every Saturday until Thanksgiving (maybe longer). The LPM takes place during the “off” season when the Ramah Farmers Market isn’t open. Last spring and last year during the fall a small but determined group of local growers had a lot of fun with this, and we are looking forward to offering the service again. Local businesses also offered discounts to customers (and producers) taking part in the LPM, making it a true cooperative effort.
Here’s how it works:
• In order to purchase from the LPM, go on line to www.elmorrovalleycoop.org, and click Local Producers Market (near the top of the page). Check out what’s available, and then call (or e-mail) the producer to place your order. Drive out to El Morro Feed and Seed on Saturday morning (10:00 – 11:00 am) to pick up you order and check out what else might be available. Then go have a cup of coffee.
• Even if you haven’t placed an order customers should feel free to show up and see what’s available.
• Any food producer or group of food producers may sell through the Exchange provided that what they sell is legal and properly handled under state and federal laws. Producers need to contact Kirk Shoemaker (emvcoop@gmail.com or call 505-783-4824) with ad info on what they have available—preferably no later than the Thursday before the Exchange. Kirk will post your ad info on the website www.elmorro valleycoop.org under the Local Producers Market link. Please include description and size of offering and price, e.g. “4 lb Hubbard Squashes, $3.00. Be sure to include contact information!
• The producer’s ad must contain contact information so that potential buyers can contact the producer to discuss availability and means of payment.
• All food items will be brought to the El Morro Feed and Seed at the scheduled date and time.
• The different areas (Ramah, Timberlake, Candy Kitchen, etc.) are encouraged to pool transportation resources. Ideally, only one or two people from each area will drive in a single vehicle to the El Morro Feed and Seed, where they will pick up orders and return with them to an agreed upon distribution point for their area (Ramah, Timberlake, Candy Kitchen, etc.) On the other hand its fun to show up and join the fun. Maybe car pool.
