Good morning!

NEWS AND NOTES

We are all very thankful that all of our Tullahoma friends and family were relatively unharmed by the tornado which tore through the town on Tuesday of this past week. Thank You, Lord, for preserving all lives and allowing relatively minor structural damage in most cases.

On December 15, Manchester Locally Grown will conduct a “Jam and Jelly Tasting Event”. Taste an assortment of jams and jellies made by several local farmers. You will want to invite your family and friends to visit and experience our market on December 15. Put it on your calendar now!

Don’t forget to order your Christmas Kissing Balls and Centerpieces from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. These items will be available right up till Christmas, but you will enjoy them longer if you order soon. Kissing Balls displayed outside will last for a full month. This is the first year I’ve done Centerpieces, so I don’t have experience with how long they will stay fresh. But since they are in water, they should last several weeks on display in the home.

Flying S Farms has lots of holiday jams this week. Catherine has the last of the cabbage on the market, but still has turnip greens and onions. Our sourdough breads are a soft texture and hold together well for sandwiches. Friendship breads make wonderful hostess gifts or sliced for buffet tables. I’ll be offering stacked cakes next week frosted and naked!

Amy of Solace Farm writes: “I’ve got lots of grassfed Scottish Highland beef :). And duck eggs! This weather is keeping the ducks laying much better than usual, and we’re swimming in eggs right now.”

Don’t forget to check what’s included this week in the Produce Boxes from Frontier Family Farm. The contents do vary from week to week, so be sure to fill your frig with all the yummy veggies (and occasionally other items) from a produce box.

Andra from Sow’s Ear Piggery writes: “Unfortunately, I have to put my pork products in vacation mode this week. My grandmother passed, and I will be traveling on Thursday to the funeral.” Andra expects to return next week with a few more products.

Vegetables from White City Produce & Greenhouses are available this week. Tami has added Green Tomatoes and Green Cabbage, as well as two types of Cider and two of Grape Jelly.

On Thursday, Weaver Farms and Frontier Family Farms will set up tables at market time (weather permitting). You will be able to see some of the goodies that you’ve been reading about on the market news! When you come to pick up your order, bring a friend and plan to hang out for a few minutes and chat with Ray & Elaine, Michael, and Linda.

We will be glad to deliver your order to you, at home or a location of your choice, on Friday afternoons for a small fee. Order delivery just like any other product.

(L to R) Christmas Centerpiece from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, Cactus Jelly & Double Chocolate Friendship Bread from Flying S Farms, Duck Eggs from Solace Farm, Green Tomatoes from White City Produce & Greenhouses.

We offer a great variety of local farm products, and our items will be in your hands in time to plan for the weekend. Wonderful local products are available for ordering from the comfort of your own computer.

More new farmers are considering joining our market, if they can expect enough sales to help pay their transportation costs. Please help us grow the market by sharing this e-mail with your friends and inviting them to give us a try.

Champaign, OH:  Our Shangri- La

Get that fire burning strong right here and right now…
It’s here and then it’s gone there’s, no secret anyhow…
We may never love again to the music of guitars in our Shangri-La…
(Our Shangri-La- Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris)

So, thank you, once again, for the amazing, incredible market!! You customers, totally rock us, love us, and support us!!

I was sitting, and checking in vendors, checking out customers, with your assistant market manager, Mark, and chattering away with the Y staff, and then you, the customers. Everywhere, you could feel the electricity, the fire that sparks this market.

We watched so many customers meet up and chat. Some of them neighbors to each other, some of them friends who had not seen each other for some time, or, customers who were coming through for the very first time…the love, the amazing chatter, the compliments…the market was on fire!!

Our own little Shangri-La…our own little paradise, our own little mystical, harmonious place. The little local market of love, the best kept little secret around.

I thank you all for chatting about my life changes, my new hair (quite the chatter on that subject), and the chatter to both Mark and me on a well run market, a market that is fun, a market that is always evolving.

We couldn’t do it without you. We couldn’t make it what it is, we couldn’t show you so much love, if you were not there, giving it right back…

So, tonight, in our little Shangri-La, I reopen the market…

Let’s keep this momentum going! Let’s remember that we are groovin’ into Christmas, and that means local gifts are perfect for everyone on your list.

Look to see what our vendors are all up to for the holidays. What specials, gift sets, and gift certificates are they offering!!

I will be sending out Weblogs, from our various vendors as to what they are bringing you, this holiday season…

Once again, we know that you can put your money and your trust, anywhere. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for putting both with us…

Enjoy your evening…and get ready to order…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
