The Wednesday Market:  IMPORTANT: We're Postponing The Wednesday Market Until Thursday

The Wednesday Market is being postponed until Thursday this week.

The National Weather Service is predicting extreme weather tomorrow, including a significant threat of tornadoes in our area. Tomorrow’s weather is supposed to be even worse than what we experienced on Monday.

We want all of our Wednesday Market customers, farmers, producers, vendors, and volunteers to weather the storms safely. That’s why we have made the decision to delay market pickup by one day.

Farmers, please make your deliveries on Thursday, at the same as you usually do on Wednesdays.

Customers, orders will be available for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. THURSDAY.

While we know this decision may inconvenience some of you, we feel it is best to be safe.

Thank you, and we’ll see everyone on Thursday.

As the market opens tonight, our thoughts and prayers are with Jeanne’s Kitchen… her husband was in a boating accident, and although he thankfully is now home from the hospital, he is still recovering.

We’ll miss Jeanne’s jams and baked goods temporarily, but hope for Tom’s speedy recovery and will look forward to their return :-)

And the market will take a one-week vacation next week for Easter, so get those orders in!!

We’ll have pick-up as normal next week on the 11th, but the market will NOT reopen that evening… we will open back up for orders on Tuesday the 18th!!

Cape Locally Grown:  10% off asparagus and more!

Yay, we have chemical free asparagus grown by Laughingstalk Farmstead!

Lettuces and more spring veggies are available this week and all 10% off!

cape.locallygrown.net

We had a question about how CLG locally grown veggies are grown. Here’s our response..

Part of our goal with Cape Locally Grown is to provide a venue and encourage small local farmers who grow organically. It is the best environmently friendly sustainable way to grow organically! The farther away things are grown the more carbon footprint they have. They are also more likely to be sprayed in transit at border crossings, etc.

Laughingstalk Farmstead and Greens Garden (ourselves) are two of the growers who grow chemical free and at this time are the only vegetable growers in our market. We often buy from Laughingstalk and can taste the organically grown excellence.

If you would like to order from Cape Locally Grown we require complete transparency of every farmer and we kindly make sure every farmer understands and is accurate. As consumers that is what we also expect so that is very important to us. Please read each farmers description and ask us if you have any questions.

Thanks for eating chemical free and we hope you can enjoy the local produce options that are available to you year around. Since they are picked and delivered to you usually within 24 hrs they are the most nutient dense too ;).

Enjoy the difference!

Champaign, OH:  We Are Live!

In my market glancing, as I prepare to make my purchases for the week, I noticed the smiling offerings of the first live herb plants from Swisher Hill Herbs!!

Yay!! Another sign of the change of seasons…and, as I always say, from way back in my Grateful Dead days, live versions are amazing versions!!

XOXO,

Champaign, OH:  Landslide

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love ?
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thought the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life…
(Landslide-Fleetwood Mac)

Good morning, little local market of love customers!! It’s a windy, rainy morning, but definitely has spring blowing around, out there.

The change of seasons is upon us, the time for growth, of hope, of new beginnings. Maybe it’s in the produce growing season, maybe it’s in your own personal growth, maybe it’s in the dawn of a new day…however you look at it, it all changes in the spring. The seasons of life…

I returned from a long weekend vacation, up in the mountains of Tennessee, with a large group of my sorority sisters. We are the sisters who spanned the years of 1982-1986. The band of us who helped to colonize the chapter, on that campus, and the first pledge classes, to bring the needed growth, in the beginning. Without the pioneer attitude, hard work, constant care, and constant attention to growth, and moving forward with vision, we never would have gotten the chapter off the ground. And, in the year 2017, that chapter is the strongest on our alma mater’s campus…strong in numbers, strong in academics, strong in social awareness, strong in community.

As I sat around the table, in the cabin, one night, over bottles of wine, boxes of old pictures, laughing over old memories as we made new memories, exchanging life stories, sharing battle scars, rejoicing in our triumphs, and mourning now the loss of four of our fellow sisters, we hugged, we smiled, and we all agreed on one thing…

The strong bonds that were planted in the beginning of our journeys, way back in 1982, kept us strong, taught us about life, taught us to have a strong appreciation for the plight of fellow women, and for an undying love that brings us back, every couple of years.

I seem to apply this theme in all that I do. The planting of the seeds, the constant care to facilitate growth, the outpouring of both love and heartache to nurture, and then the constant care to continue the growth, and the ability to sustain through solid roots and bonds.

I have seen it, also, in this market. The seeds were planted, years ago. The growth took off, the constant love from you helped to carry it, and now, today, we continue to see the strength from all of our efforts.

It is Tuesday, the market will close, this evening, at 10pm, we have our End Of The Road family back on, and as the weeks unfold, we will see the return more of our seasonal growers, the part of his market family, that is essential to our growth.

Take a bit of time to shower us with love, today…it only makes us stronger…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

I’m on vacation and spent most of the day traveling and almost forgot to send the newsletter. Just a reminder, the market still opens on Sunday but I send the newsletter on Monday now so the farmers and vendors have time to update inventory.
