Champaign, OH:  And She Was

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was…
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was…
And she was…
(And She Was-Talking Heads)

Cue up the 1985 club scene!! Lately, I have been revisiting my time spent in the 1980’s. There was a very specific time frame, when I spent a whole lot of my time in the new wave club scene, groovin’ to the tunes of bands like The Talking Heads.

This song was always such a fun, danceable, floaty kind of song, and, for right now, in this very time of my life, the lyrics that I have chosen are summing up my life. I feel like with all of my business changes, and my decision to stay on as your market manager, have all been the spot on, totally right, on point decisions to be made.

With all of the changes, I have introduced all kinds of new avenues, new adventures, new business, and new followings. I feel, well, like I am floating around, and having the time of my life. Like all the links are falling into place. I am finally letting myself be me, again. Not trying to be anything that isn’t me.

Just like this market…it floats, happily along, happy, vibrant, not trying to be a grocery store, not trying to be a big box retailer, not trying to offer things that come to us from all over the world.

Our market floats along because of it’s happiness and popularity from being nothing but within our community, or very close to our community. We are proud of how we operate, we are proud of our vendors, our market, our mission…

Each week, I open the market with such excitement, such passion for what will transpire for that week.

Being your market manager allows me to watch the sales, the interactions between vendors and customers, and it allows me to be a part of this food movement, that I am so passionate about.

The world was moving, she was right there with it, and she was…

The market continues to move and groove, and I am right there with it…

I open the market, tonight, for the week. Grab your list, sit down, this weekend, and place your orders, so you can jump on this market groove, this market world, and be right there with it…

All the cool kids love shopping this market, they are right there with it…

XOXO,

Miami County Locally Grown:  When you need a little help from your friends...

And what an adventure for Craig Hughes, of Tin Roof Mobile Food, Kenny Adams of Adams Greenhouse, and Lee, my trusty hubby over at our End of the Road Farm!

I wouldn’t blame them if the next time I call for volunteers they run and hide… how is it always that an “easy” job so quickly turns into a fiasco?

Of course the fridge wouldn’t fit through the door! No problem, they just wiggled it, with an 1/8th of an inch to spare on either side, through a different door… only to find themselves locked within the kiddie playground!

The way they managed to get it through the gate was unique, but at long last they made it to First Place, where after another almost impossible squeeze, the appliances were in place.

And once Craig and Lee had the fun of making them showroom-ready last night, the appliances are now just waiting to be filled with all sorts of local goodies!

Cook Farm:  Weblog Entry

Hi from the farm,

I’m back in the kitchen this coming Sunday, baking granola and bread. I plan to only bake once or twice a month, so if you have room in your freezer you may want to order enough for the month. Double bagged the bread stays fresh quite well for the month. Especially good wrapped in foil and warmed in the oven!

I have made some changes to the Pick-up locations and times too, so be sure to check the Q and A page!

Thanks for shopping with me

Susan Cook
