Champaign, OH: Black Magic Woman
You got your spell on me baby
You got your spell on me baby
Yes, you got your spell on me baby…
(Black Magic Woman-Fleetwood Mac)
We just want to put our spell, onto you, with all of our dazzling products, new products, new vendors…it’s totally bewitching in this month of October…
So, let’s get down to this…your market managers were busy from Thursday until yesterday, catering a super long wedding event. Thursday dinner, Friday dinner, Saturday dinner. The crowd, each night, raved about the food. The freshness of it. The taste. The appearance. Some have never tasted a real roasted carrot drizzled in local honey. They have never tasted meat that comes straight from a farm. They have never tasted bread quite like they were offered.
And, it was with such pride that we were able to talk about not only what we do as Hippie and the Farmer, but also what we do, individually, with Oakview Farm Meats, and Cosmic Charlie Baking and Bread. But, it didn’t stop there. As I was serving them their salads, heavy in organic kale, I was also able to talk to them about this market. It’s many vendors. The concept of this market. The ease. The amazing products. And, it brought me such pride to not only talk about the market, but to add names, such as all of the vendor business names. And, as I listened to myself talk, I felt myself beaming with pride. I told them about the amazing customer base, and how easy it was to become a customer. How easy it was to order, pick up, and go on your way, each Thursday.
And, soon, there will be an even easier way for you to use this market…and, as soon as all the details are worked out, we will unveil the next level…
Until then…keep letting us put a spell on you, with our dazzling magic…
It is Monday, and the market will be open until Wednesday morning, at 8am!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Market News
We dodged a bullet last week when Michael came roaring through. Aside from minor wind damage here and there, our growers came out pretty well after the storm. It wouldn’t have taken much of a change to bring the heart of the storm right through here instead of racing across mid-Georgia, where it ripped up cotton fields, peanut farms, poultry farms, pecan orchards, and many small towns along the way.
Fall weather does seem to have taken hold, though, and while that means many of our summer crops will soon be saying their goodbyes (though not all, thanks to the many greenhouses our growers use) it also means the autumn crops are in their element. We should be awash in leafy greens real soon, and I love that.
Thank you so much for your support of Athens Locally Grown, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. You all are part of what makes Athens such a great area in which to live. We’ll see you on Thursday at Ben’s Bikes at the corner of Pope and Broad Streets from 4:30 to 8pm!

Recipes
Butternut Squash Fettuccine Alfredo
Serves 6
3 cups (1-inch) cubed butternut squash (about 1 1/4 pounds)
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 pound dry fettuccine
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425°F.
Toss the cubed squash with the garlic and olive oil in a large bowl and season with ½ teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a rimmed baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Roast until tender and caramelized, about 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Remove the squash from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Transfer the squash and garlic to a blender or food processor. Add the remaining salt, cream, broth, cheese, and nutmeg, and process continuously until smooth, about 1 minute.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes or according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta. Return the pasta to the pot.
Add the Alfredo sauce and toss with the pasta over low heat. If needed, add some of the reserved pasta water, tablespoon by tablespoon, to loosen the pasta and evenly coat it with the sauce. Sprinkle with the parsley and more Parmesan and serve immediately.
