Farmer’s Market: One last hurrah!

The Scripps Ranch Farmer’s Market is known for its fresh produce.

Farmer’s Market: One last hurrah!

“Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know that you’ve got ’til it’s gone …”

These lyrics from the song “Big Yellow Taxi,” made famous by folk singer Joni Mitchell, could not be more descriptive or appropriate for the feeling of loss ascending upon Scripps Ranch this week: The Scripps Ranch Farmer’s Market is going to close permanently after Saturday, Oct. 27.

The Farmer’s Market has been the only public event held in Scripps Ranch on a weekly basis for the past 17 years. But in the true spirit of Farmer’s Market founder and manager Beverly Cassity, it won’t close before it has one more special day for kids and families – a Trick or Treat Day on Saturday, Oct. 27.

Mike and Beverly Cassity

Held every Saturday, the Farmer’s Market has been a longtime fixture in Scripps Ranch, but it will cease to exist after Saturday’s event. Beverly Cassity was forced to seek a new location for the weekly event because the San Diego Unified School District board voted to redevelop the property where the market was being held at 10380 Spring Canyon Road, in the Innovations Academy parking lot. The school is also being forced to find a new location next year.

The development project, named the Scripps Mesa Joint Occupancy Project, involves construction of a mixed-use facility, including a 264-unit apartment complex.

The market will close because a new location could not be located, although Cassity spent about two years attempting to find an appropriate space. Three possible locations were being pursued: a lot at Scripps Ranch High School, a space at the local YMCA and a space at Miramar College. Unfortunately, none of those avenues panned out and all attempts have been exhausted.

The Farmer’s Market, billed as a weekly family festival, allowed visitors the opportunity to eat breakfast or lunch from a tasty selection of food vendors, browse among the many booths, purchase a supply of fresh produce, listen to live music, visit with friends and discover something new and surprising each week. Indeed, the many vendors with booths at the market provided a wide array of unique items such as handmade furniture, pet treats, clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, homemade pastries, specialty soaps and cooking items.

The Farmer’s Market features an array of delectable cuisine.

The market was a thriving bastion of new, up-and-coming entrepreneurs who could experiment with their products. It was also a place where other vendors could simply share their goods with the public and make a few extra dollars. It wasn’t long ago that the market was drawing about 60 vendors or more. It was a once-a-week cradle of commerce in Scripps Ranch.

Some amazing items were offered at the market over the years, including a wide array of excellent, and sometimes exotic, cuisine. More than anything else, the Scripps Ranch Farmer’s Market was a friendly destination where neighbors could meet, and residents could make new friends.

Beverly Cassity has run the market all these years with the help of her husband, Mike Cassity. Marjorie La Beach is the assistant manager.

The Cassitys partnered with Ellen Browning Scripps Elementary School (EBS) and have run the local Farmer’s Market as an on-going fundraising project for the school, donating a large percentage of the weekly profits to EBS.

Mike and Beverly are retirees, but they operated the Farmer’s Market because they had too much energy to sit around all day, according to Beverly.

“Mike and I are convinced that with every door that closes, a new door of opportunity will open,” Beverly said. “As we go into the last part of our lives, we enter it with lots of excitement knowing there are good things on the horizon.”

While Beverly Cassity is understandably unhappy about the upcoming closing of the market, she remains upbeat, stating that everything happens for a reason.

“Thank you, Scripps Ranch, for 17 years of support and love,” she said. “It’s been a great ride.”

She is encouraging the public to attend the final day at the market to support the vendors.

“Please contact your family, friends, neighbors and bring your kids in their costumes to enjoy a family day at the market,” Beverly said. “Let’s give our vendors the best send-off ever.”

The Scripps Ranch Farmer’s Market will hold its final Trick or Treat Day on Saturday, Oct. 27.

The Scripps Ranch Farmer’s Market will be open for its final day from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27, featuring its annual Trick or Treat Day for children and families. This last event is sure to be one of the largest of the year in Scripps Ranch as residents will have the chance to say goodbye and shop one more time at the market.

Visitors are encouraged to dress in costume and kids should bring a bag to hold the treats they will receive from the many vendors. Several fun activities will be available to keep the children happy all day.

  1. Sermorelin and Ipamorelin are two of the most
    frequently discussed peptides in the realm
    of anti-aging and performance enhancement. Both work by stimulating growth hormone
    release from the pituitary gland, yet they differ markedly in their molecular structure, potency, duration of action, and
    side-effect profile. Understanding these nuances is essential for anyone
    considering peptide therapy as a means to improve
    healthspan or athletic recovery.

    1. Introduction to Peptide Therapy

    Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can mimic or enhance the function of naturally occurring
    hormones. In the context of growth hormone (GH) stimulation, two peptides have
    risen to prominence: Sermorelin and Ipamorelin. Both are synthetic analogues designed to
    bind the growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor (GHRH-R),
    thereby triggering a cascade that culminates in GH
    release.

    2. Sermorelin vs Ipamorelin: Which Peptide Therapy Is Best?

    Choosing between Sermorelin and Ipamorelin hinges on several factors:

    Potency and Duration: Ipamorelin is generally considered more potent, requiring smaller doses to achieve comparable
    GH stimulation. It also has a slightly longer half-life.

    Side-Effect Profile: Sermorelin’s side effects are largely limited to mild injection site reactions,
    whereas Ipamorelin can occasionally provoke nausea or flushing in sensitive individuals.

    Cost and Availability: Sermorelin is often less expensive because it is available as an older formulation. Ipamorelin, being
    newer, may command a higher price but offers a more favorable dosing schedule for some users.

    Regulatory Status: Both peptides are not approved by major regulatory
    bodies for anti-aging use; they remain investigational or are sold as research chemicals.
    This limits their legal availability in many jurisdictions.

    Ultimately, the “best” peptide is highly individual.
    Those seeking a lower cost and simpler dosing may lean toward Sermorelin, while users desiring maximal GH
    release with minimal dosing might prefer Ipamorelin.

    3. Sermorelin – An In-Depth Overview

    Sermorelin is a synthetic decapeptide that closely resembles the first ten amino acids of
    natural growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Its primary function is to bind the GHRH receptor on pituitary somatotroph cells, triggering endogenous GH
    secretion.

    1 Molecular Structure and Synthesis

    Sequence: His-Pro-Gln-Trp-Ala-Ser-Lys-Asn-Tyr-Leu

    The peptide is chemically synthesized via solid-phase synthesis techniques.

    It is typically provided in a lyophilized powder form that requires
    reconstitution with sterile water dianabol pics before and after injection.

    2 Pharmacodynamics

    Receptor Binding: Sermorelin exhibits high
    affinity for GHRH receptors, but its activity diminishes after
    about one hour due to rapid metabolism by peptidases.

    GH Release Pattern: The peptide induces a pulsatile GH surge that mimics the
    natural circadian rhythm. Peak levels are usually reached within 30 minutes of injection.

    3 Pharmacokinetics

    Half-Life: Approximately 20–30 minutes when administered subcutaneously.

    Metabolism: Rapid hydrolysis in plasma; primarily cleared by renal excretion of breakdown products.

    Elimination: No significant accumulation occurs with standard dosing.

    4 Clinical Uses and Evidence

    While Sermorelin is not approved for anti-aging, it has been used clinically to treat growth hormone deficiency in children and adults.
    Studies have shown improvements in lean body mass, bone density, and quality of life when used appropriately.

    4. Ipamorelin – An In-Depth Overview

    Ipamorelin is a hexapeptide that mimics ghrelin’s
    action on the GHRH receptor but with greater selectivity for GH release over prolactin or cortisol stimulation.

    1 Molecular Structure and Synthesis

    Sequence: His-Pro-Gly-Asp-Trp-Met

    The peptide is synthesized using similar solid-phase methods,
    then formulated as a freeze-dry powder requiring reconstitution before use.

    2 Pharmacodynamics

    Receptor Binding: Ipamorelin has a higher affinity for the GHRH receptor and exhibits minimal cross-reactivity
    with other hormone receptors.

    GH Release Pattern: It produces a robust GH pulse that
    can last up to two hours, providing sustained stimulation.

    3 Pharmacokinetics

    Half-Life: Approximately one hour when injected subcutaneously.

    Metabolism: Degraded by peptidases but at a slower
    rate than Sermorelin.

    Elimination: Primarily renal; no significant bioaccumulation.

    4 Clinical Uses and Evidence

    Ipamorelin has been investigated in clinical trials for its potential to enhance muscle recovery,
    improve bone density, and aid weight management. Its
    selective action reduces the likelihood of side effects associated with other peptide analogues.

    5. Comparative Pharmacology and Mechanisms of Action

    Both peptides activate the same receptor but differ in their kinetics:

    Sermorelin’s short half-life necessitates multiple daily injections
    to maintain steady GH levels, whereas Ipamorelin’s longer action can often be achieved
    with a single dose.

    The amplitude of GH release is generally higher with Ipamorelin per milligram administered.

    Because Sermorelin closely mimics natural GHRH, it
    may better preserve the circadian rhythm of hormone secretion.

    6. Clinical Applications and Therapeutic Indications

    1 Growth Hormone Deficiency

    Both peptides are used off-label to treat GH deficiency in adults and children when recombinant GH therapy is unsuitable.

    2 Anti-Aging and Performance Enhancement

    Athletes, bodybuilders, and older adults sometimes use these
    peptides to increase lean muscle mass, reduce fat stores, improve sleep quality,
    and enhance recovery. Scientific evidence for long-term
    benefits remains limited.

    7. Dosage Regimens, Administration Routes, and Timing

    Peptide Typical Dose Frequency Route

    Sermorelin 0.2–0.5 mg Once or twice daily Subcutaneous (SC)

    Ipamorelin 0.1–0.3 mg Once daily (often before
    sleep) SC

    Timing Tips:

    Injections taken before bedtime can align GH release with
    natural nocturnal peaks.

    Avoid injecting within two hours of a meal to reduce the risk of nausea.

    8. Side Effects, Safety Profile, and Contraindications

    1 Common Adverse Events

    Injection site reactions (pain, swelling).

    Mild headache or dizziness.

    Transient flushing or nausea (more common with Ipamorelin).

    2 Rare but Serious Risks

    Excessive GH release can lead to insulin resistance or edema.

    Potential for tumor growth stimulation in susceptible individuals.

    3 Contraindications

    Known hypersensitivity to peptide components.

    Active malignancy, uncontrolled diabetes, or severe
    cardiovascular disease.

    9. Cost Considerations and Accessibility

    Sermorelin is often available at a lower price point due to
    its older formulation; typical costs range from $50–$100 per
    month for a standard dose. Ipamorelin tends to cost between $80–$150 monthly, reflecting its newer status and higher potency.

    Legal availability varies by country: many nations restrict sale to research use only.

    Users must ensure compliance with local regulations before procurement.

    10. Practical Tips for Safe Use

    Reconstitution Accuracy – Use sterile water and follow
    manufacturer instructions to avoid contamination or incorrect dosing.

    Injection Technique – Rotate sites (abdomen, thigh) to prevent
    lipodystrophy.

    Monitoring – Regular blood tests for GH, IGF-1, glucose
    levels, and thyroid function can detect early imbalances.

    Lifestyle Factors – Adequate sleep, balanced nutrition,
    and moderate exercise amplify peptide benefits.

    11. Conclusion

    Sermorelin and Ipamorelin represent two distinct approaches to stimulating endogenous growth hormone
    production. Sermorelin offers a cost-effective, physiologically aligned option that requires multiple daily injections, while Ipamorelin delivers
    stronger, longer-lasting GH release with potentially fewer side effects
    but at a higher price. The choice between them
    should be guided by individual goals, tolerance for injection frequency, budget constraints,
    and the desire to minimize adverse reactions.

    Regardless of the peptide selected, diligent monitoring and adherence to safe administration practices are essential for
    maximizing therapeutic outcomes while minimizing risk.

  2. Medical Doctors use these drugs to help deal with delayed puberty, and improve muscle mass and power in individuals who have
    conditions that scale back muscle tissue. Some doctors prescribe it for testosterone supplementation remedy
    to enhance mood and sexual performance in older men. If you or a liked one misuses anabolic steroids,
    it’s necessary to see a doctor for therapy. The sooner you’ll find
    a way to address the issue and discover healthy options,
    the less likely you would possibly be to expertise potentially deadly
    risks sooner or later. In 1953, a testosterone-derived steroid generally
    known as norethandrolone (17α-ethyl-19-nortestosterone) was synthesized at G.
    Testosterone can be administered parenterally, but it has extra irregular prolonged absorption time and larger exercise
    in muscle in enanthate, undecanoate, or cypionate ester type.
    In addition, as a result of estered testosterone is dissolved in oil, intravenous injection has
    the potential to trigger a dangerous embolism (clot) within the bloodstream.

    The best approach to handle the side effects of steroids
    is to only use steroids which have been legally prescribed to you by a medical skilled.
    You are more probably to have unwanted aspect effects if
    you take greater doses of clenbuterol. As this drug stays in your body for fairly some time, you can have unwanted side effects anywhere from one to eight days.

    Research present that more than 80% of people that had
    critical side effects from clenbuterol had to be hospitalized.

    In the united states, clenbuterol is a prescription drugs used to treat blocked airways in horses.

    Testosterone will increase blood strain as a result of a redistribution of HDL and LDL cholesterol
    levels. Nevertheless, we find such ldl cholesterol fluctuations are delicate compared to different anabolic steroids.
    Steroids, additionally known as corticosteroids, are a kind
    of anti-inflammatory medicine. They usually are not just like anabolic steroids which are utilized by body builders
    and athletes to boost their efficiency. Steroid medicines are used in the treatment of lupus, allergy symptoms, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis
    and different sicknesses. They are available within the forms of soluble tablets, tablets, ointments, lotions, injections and
    inhalers.
    This structural modification tremendously will increase oral bioavailability,
    although it comes with hepatotoxicity (11). In small doses
    for brief amounts of time, when their use is monitored by a health care provider, anabolic
    steroids have decrease risk of long-term or harmful unwanted
    effects. Anabolic steroids are orally-ingested,
    artificial (man-made) medication that act like testosterone.
    They trigger progress and development of male sexual organs,
    secondary intercourse characteristics, and increases in muscle
    dimension and energy. Dromostanolone is an artificial anabolic
    steroid with anti-estrogenic properties and is 5 occasions
    stronger than methyltestosterone, which is often used illegally by bodybuilders
    to arrange for competition. Dromostanolone will increase the retention of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, resulting in increased protein anabolism and a lower in the catabolism of amino acids,
    resulting in an increase in the density and hardness of muscle.

    Despite how highly effective Deca-Durabolin is, its side impact profile is
    surprisingly tolerable compared to many different steroids.
    There are still many antagonistic effects to be careful for, though, and these shall be acquainted to anyone who’s used any steroids previously.
    For some men, a number of the side effects could be serious,
    and this is all the time going to be an individual response in addition to dosage-related.

    It Is essential that when you start experiencing side effects whereas taking a steroid, name
    your physician or seek medical consideration, but do
    not all of a sudden cease the steroids unless a doctor has informed you
    to do so. In basic, localized steroids — those which are inhaled,
    injected into a joint or tendon sheath, or utilized as cream — have fewer unwanted
    effects as a end result of they proceed to be in one area of the physique.

    When you take corticosteroids, they mimic cortisol, a hormone that your
    physique naturally releases in response to stress like injury or sickness.

    By doing so, these individuals goal to boost their bodily
    performance in athletic endeavors or enhance their physique.
    Stories of Eastern-bloc athletes receiving testosterone and AASs
    as part of their training regimens as early because the Nineteen Fifties abound.
    The Eastern-bloc weightlifters and track athletes subsequently dominated the athletic
    stage for many years.
    Most Deca-Durabolin users will notice this impact more than with different steroids, including a notable reduction in joint pain and basic aches and pains.
    Its therapeutic outcomes are as essential, though not physically apparent, as your measurement
    gains or body recomposition. Performance athletes will also benefit
    from strengthening and healing joint and connective tissue.
    Deca-Max’s effects are appropriate for either bulking or
    slicing cycles as a outcome of the formulation is superb for fat
    loss whereas maintaining the physique in an anabolic state to retain muscle.
    The cycle ought to run for 16 weeks to offer Deca-Durabolin ample time to ship
    its most advantages as a slower-acting steroid. That means breaking apart your use of those compounds to stretch across
    the entire sixteen weeks, with each placed where it could present optimal advantages.
    One of the downsides of Deca’s long half-life is that if
    you respond negatively to it, you’ll be ready long for antagonistic effects
    to fade away.
    Males on anabolic steroids might experience baldness, breast progress, and shrinking
    testicles, based on MedlinePlus. Doctors warn folks to not be duped by the attention and praise social media influencers are gathering for these medicine.

    Anabolic steroids and different performance-enhancing medicine can come with some critical and irreversible well being dangers and consequences.
    Whether you’re an athlete considering efficiency enhancement, a
    bodybuilder chasing the perfect physique, or somebody
    prescribed steroids for medical causes, understanding the potential psychological dangers is crucial.
    Knowledge is energy, and on this case, it would just be the facility to
    guard your mental health. Trenbolone is generally only
    taken by advanced bodybuilders who’ve constructed up a
    tolerance to numerous anabolic steroids before administering it.

    The statistics on this part emphasize what quantity of men or females
    have used steroids or nonetheless use steroids.

    Some stats look at these numbers in highschool and amongst
    age teams. About 1 million British residents use steroids (alongside different image- and performance-enhancing drugs [IPEDs]) to change their appearance or improve performance, amongst a couple of different reasons.
    Whereas their health risks differ by the sort and quantity taken, they can be dangerous and cause unwanted aspect effects at any
    dose. While they work properly to manage sure sicknesses, they will trigger several
    unwanted side effects, such as elevated blood sugar levels and weight gain. For this
    purpose, they’re reserved only for moderate to
    severe inflammatory situations (34).
    This is why bodybuilders sometimes cycle clenbuterol for brief durations, with transient protocols of two weeks on and 2 weeks off for optimum efficacy.
