Foothills Market:  No Market This Week

Foothills Market is closed this week to give our farmers spring break (read: a chance to focus on getting the gardens in!). We’ll be back next week with your fresh, local foods.

Miami County Locally Grown:  Our favorite Phil is Famous!

Who else but our very own Phil O’Buehler would be driving the tractor his father bought back in 1954 in the McCartyville St Patrick’s Day Parade yesterday?! And of course it’s GREEN – the first diesel John Deere!!

Check out our Facebook page for some great pictures (thanks go out to his wife Joan!!) of our favorite pork producer having a high time – and thank goodness it was clear blue skies instead of these incredible “I think this is more than flurries” flurries!

I’ve never dreamt of a white St Patrick’s Day – but wishing you all a Happy Day regardless ;-)

And be sure to check out all the Buehler family Specials on the Market this week! We’re open til 8pm!

Fresh Harvest, LLC:  Fresh Harvest for March 17th

Hello!
I’m opening the Market early today because we are attending The Book of Mormon which starts in a few minutes.

The plan is for Fresh Harvest to offer a wide variety of veggie/herb plants in 4” pots this spring. I’m planting about a dozen different varieties of tomatoes (heirloom, hybrid, cherry, paste). We should also have peppers, several types of basil and a few other plants to make available to you. With anything that I grow, I won’t believe it until I see it. I’ll keep you posted as to when to expect the plants to be ready. If there’s a veggie/herb/flower that you would like us to start, please let us know. I can’t promise that we can do it, but we’ll try.

It won’t be long before we are loaded with veggies, but this isn’t the week. My potato seeds are due to arrive this Wednesday and with a little luck we might be able to plant them this week.

Henosis has added 3 new items that sound rather tasty – Mushroom Soup, Mushroom Risotto and Sweet Potato Biscuits. All are found in the Vegetable Category.

In the Cheese category, Bloomy Rind has a great variety of cheeses and other specialty items.

We have plenty of eggs, granola, honey, and coffee.

With daylight savings time having arrived, pick up will be under the trees unless there is bad weather.

If an item sells out, be sure to write in the Comment section what you would like if more becomes available.

The Hemp Honey has been added to the Market page. If you would like to learn more about CBD, here is a link: https://intellicbd.com/
TruBee’s Hemp Honey is 100% pure raw honey with full spectrum hemp extract. Serving size: 1/2 tsp, 24 servings in a jar

Deliveries will continue to be every other week. The next delivery will be Wednesday, April 3rd. You have until Tuesday night to place your order.
Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!

If you need to text me, my number is 615-838-0428.

CLG:  Opening Bell: Spinach, Cheese, Pork, Plants!

Good afternoon!

Spring has sprung! I’m getting excellent reports from our growers about early crops ready to be harvested. Spinach, onions, asparagus, lettuce, radishes, turnips, etc. The mild winter and abundant rain means lots of local vegetables will be available sooner than last year. Early shoppers also saw the first cabbage of the year on the extra table Friday!

This week you will also find several options for cut flower arrangements from Bell Urban Farm. Get one for yourself, and one to give to a neighbor or loved one. They will Be beautiful for well over a week.

Save a bundle on a 25 pound box of eggs from Drewry Orchards this week. It is literally a box with 25 pounds of fresh eggs. A pound of eggs is between six and 10 eggs so this is over 200 fresh eggs. Share some with your family and neighbors and they’ll love you forever. ! We have egg cartons so you can package them into dozens right at the market. Deviled eggs, boiled eggs, omelettes, quiche, fried eggs, poundcake. The possibilities are endless!

Several varieties of cheese are now available under the dairy section.

At Cedar Rock Ridge this week, I divided my scarlet Beebalm, horseradish, and comfrey plants, so they are now available well-rooted and ready to grow in your garden. In about two weeks, we will have orange marigolds, yellow marigolds, and vinca plants in 4-packs available. Marigolds placed around your garden attract pollinators and deter pests. With marigolds, more is better. Lemongrass plants will also be ready soon!

Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. We have over 740 items available now!

Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!

And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)

The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping:

Champaign, OH:  Astral Weeks

To be born again
In another world
In another time
In another place
So far away…
(Astral Weeks-Van Morrison)

Quite possibly one of my favorite Van Morrison’s songs/albums. And, one of my favorite Irish singer/songwriters. How very fitting, on this day of the Irish, as this girl, who has one side of her family, hailing from Galway, to be listening to, today…

And, on this very sunshine, luck of the Irish kind of day, why not take a bit of time to look through all of the products that we have to offer? Why not place your weekly order, or learn how easy it is to place an order for the very first time.

We are very close to celebrating our 7th year in existence, and, I couldn’t be more proud of this market, of our large variety of products, and the strength of our many vendors. But, through it all, we are only as strong as our ordering customer base, of which we are forever grateful!!

We’ve added so much, just for you, and we hope to see your smiling faces, this Thursday, at market pick up…

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
