新年天氣不錯，田裡的蔬菜欣欣生長，期間大部份訂戶不是出外拜年就是離港渡假，不在家煮食；批發戶亦放年假，菜園衹好暫停供菜。
我見田裡一些蔬菜快可收割，於是向施姐姐建議，不如在農墟減價促銷，回饋街坊。
施姐姐說：「啲客幫襯咗我地咁耐，係益街坊就全田蔬菜都減價，最緊要新鮮，最難種最貴嘅都減價，大大方方，一律廿蚊斤啦，賣完就停。」
就是這樣，上次，今次和下幾次墟期，我們都出售一流質素的二十圓一斤的各種有機蔬菜，請認著我們的綠色圍裙，菜量有限，先到先得，售完即止。

有心水清的街坊問，今期唔使抽籤揀位咩？
其實上星期美孚有機農墟已進入第十三期，主辦單位見到每次抽籤後農友都揀選原位，索性省了抽籤揀位程序，全世界歸原位如常開檔。
菜會繼續招聘幫工。
我今日要留在田裡接待嘉客，大家不用擔心施姐姐獨力難支，因為每次菜會有困難需要人手或人腦協助時，我們的好顧客就會二話不說跳出來義務幫忙。
感謝今天來農墟幫施姐姐忙的黃小姐，還有替菜會網誌拍照的王小姐和岑先生。

Clear mind local folks asked me if lots had been drawn to assign the stall location for this round of the Farmer's Market.
The 13th MFOFM actually started last week. Observing from previous balloting, farmers usually chose to stay in the same stall, the organiser decided to do away with the procedures. Farmers are therefore keeping their own stalls.
Local Produce will continue recruiting staff.
I have to stay at the farm to receive guests today. There is no need to worry about ah Z single-handedly attending the stall. Every time when we are short of hands, our dear customers will volunteer to help out.
My whole-heartedly thank you to Miss Wong who assisted ah Z at the Market, Miss Wong and Mr Shum who took photographs for our blog. (yl)

義工為檔位設計了一批防水耐用的價錢牌更替，問我為甚麼要標價，不擔心顧客格價嗎？
好多來趁墟的坊眾都問過我同一問題。
菜會的宗旨是貨真價實，售賣的是當天早上新鮮在自己菜園收割的蔬菜，標明價錢方便買賣。
多年來，觀察得悉購買有機蔬菜的顧客都注重飲食兼識貨，在農墟比較的是蔬菜的新鮮程度和水耗而不是價錢。
早前優惠期間，所有蔬菜都賣$20一斤，銷情理想。若是質量不好，一定無人幫襯。
audit trail: 13Cq 00, 17/03/13, fine, 16-28℃ RH62%
Our volunteers designed some durable waterproof price tags to replace the old ones for our stall. They asked me why I showed the prices; did I not worry about customers comparing prices among the stalls?
Many people attending the Market have asked me the same question.
The veggies we sell are grown in our own farm and freshly cut in the morning just before the Market. We aim at selling quality veggies at reasonable prices. Clearly stated prices facilitate customers' purchase.
Years of observation shows that people who buy organic veggies are concerned about nutritious food and they are discerning. What they compare among the stalls at the Market are freshness and hydration, not the price of the produce.
During the sale period earlier on, all veggies were sold at $20 per catty. They sold well. If the quality was not good, I am sure nobody would buy them. (kw)

今冬天氣反常，潮濕溫暖，不利士多啤梨幼苗成長。
我留士多啤梨在苗袋裡，待天氣轉好後，再作打算。

有機果王倪先生話，今年士多啤梨特別難種，要等到二月份才有比較多收成，如果春季雨水多，今茬可能要提早完結。
我請倪先生首先照顧菜會的訂戶，所以喜歡食草莓的朋友，要把握機會訂購啦。

Mr. Ngai, the expert organic fruit grower, said that this year's strawberry crop is particularly difficult to grow. The growing season might end earlier than usual if it rained all spring. We have to wait until Lunar February (i.e. mid-March) to have a higher yield.
I asked Mr. Ngai to offer priority to our customers. For those who love strawberries, don't miss this opportunity and place your order while quantities last. (tl)

今茬香蕉開始成熟，由於菜園種植香蕉的面積有限，供應相對少，所以會用先訂先得的方法，安排供應事宜。

The bananas are maturing. Supply is relatively low due to limited growing space. Thus, we will adopt the first-come-first-served basis to cope with customers' demand. (aw)

Months of heavy rain had affected the planting of rocket. We had no choice but to put an end to the growing for this season.
After we have repaired the all-weather canopies, we will attempt planting rocket earlier with a hope to extend the crop period. (aw)
