This Week
Here are some of the specials this week…
My Daily Bread has fresh milled Red Wheat on Sale this week $2.00 off!
St. Simons Island Shrimp Specialists-PICK UP THIS WEEK Our first delivery date is scheduled for October 8th. www.ShellCreekSeafood.co
They will be selling HACCP Certified Wild Caught Georgia sweet white shrimp, delivering once a month. You will be able to place orders throughout the month but pick up will usually be the first Saturday of the month. These pre-orders have to be paid ahead, if you only order shrimp please pay online. If you order other items and will be picking up this Saturday the shrimp will be added to your total.
Doug’s Alaska Salmon the fresh catch is scheduled to be delivered this Friday, you may preorder online starting today.
Here’s something I haven’t talked about in a while… despite all of our best efforts, sometimes the things you order don’t make it into your baskets on Saturday. The growers try their best, but sometimes they aren’t able to fill orders for a variety of reasons. They almost always go into the system and remove the items they can’t fill by 10am on Saturday, so by then you should be able to look at your order on the website and get a reasonable expectation of what we’ll have ready for you when you arrive. Even then, though, things can go wrong. A grower can leave a box at home, sitting on their kitchen counter, and when we go to fill your order, an item might be missing. We mark those items off on the spot, using our little hand-held devices, and try to tell you when we hand you your items. And sometimes, we mess up ourselves filling your orders and think we put everything in your box only to find a bag with your name on it at the end of the night. In that case, we take it off your order and automatically issue a refund to your account if you paid in person when you picked things up.
Many of you are pre-paying these days, using cards online. That’s great for everyone, as it really streamlines the process. It’s a bit of a misnomer, though, because even though you placed your order on Wednesday or Thursday, I don’t actually run the cards until Saturday afternoon or Sunday, after all the orders have been finalized. That way, you’re never charged for items the growers took off, or didn’t bring, or that we left out of your box. You can see exactly what you were charged for, and what the status was for every item on your order, by looking at your order history on the Your Account page. There, you can see a PDF invoice for every order you have ever placed at TCH, a line-by-line accounting for every item, and the total you were charged (or paid in person).
And if you ever have any question, please don’t hesitate to ask. Just reply to any email the system sends you, and it’ll come right to me.

Champaign, OH: State Of The Plate Deadline!
Hello, little local market of love customers!!
Just a quick reminder…if you plan to attend this year’s State of the Plate, time is of the essence!!
I am including a letter from the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce!!
Dear Chamber & Community Members,
Please make plans to join us at the 4th Annual State of the Plate Local Foods Dinner on Sunday, October 9 at the historic Wren Farm outside of Mechanicsburg.
This is a professionally catered dinner of locally grown food served in the historic Wren Barn; the occasion also provides attendees an opportunity to speak with and learn from the people who grew the meal’s ingredients.
We are excited to announce a new location this year! The Smith family will host this year’s event at their barn on Wren Farm (6150 State Route 187 just outside of Mechanicsburg).
Activities begin at 12:15 p.m. with registration and Market Time, which will feature samples and items for sale by local growers and producers. Opening remarks will start at 1 p.m. and will be followed by a local foods buffet co-catered by In Good Taste Catering and The Hippie & The Farmer.
During the dinner, local producers and pioneers of the local foods movement will talk about the beginnings, growth, and success of their food and beverage production businesses. The speakers will include Mark and Debbie Titus/Mad Sweet Heat, Amy Forrest & Lyndsay Murphy/In Good Taste Catering, Pam Bowshier and Mark Runyan/The Hippie & the Farmer, Paul and Grace Kurtz/Hemisphere Coffee Roasters, Heather and Ryan Hostetler/St. Ives Winery, and Amanda Douridas/The Ohio State University Extension. The event will end at 3 p.m.
Seating is limited! To make reservations and payment (cash, check, or credit cards accepted), please call the Champaign County Chamber at 937-653-5764 by TOMORROW on Wednesday, October 5.
Your reservation of $20 per person includes a full buffet with dessert and two tickets to select a glass of wine produced by Champaign County’s new St. Ives Winery. The event is being planned by The Champaign County Local Food Council, LLC, a cooperative effort of the Champaign County Chamber and Champaign Economic Partnership. The group’s goal is to help expand market opportunities for local food producers.
About Wren Farms
In 1845, the Wren brothers settled down on adjacent lots outside of Mechanicsburg. While Isaac Wren’s original house still stands, the barn burned to the ground in the 1950s. It was quickly replaced with the bank barn that stands in the same spot today. After many years of use housing livestock, the barn was renovated by Rick & Rita Anderson for their daughter Eva’s wedding reception in 2005. In 2013, Brian and Elizabeth Smith purchased the farm and currently rent the barn venue for receptions, reunions, and other large gatherings of up to 250 people. The Smiths are excited to welcome you as guests for this year’s State of the Plate Dinner!
Thank you for supporting our local producers and the growing local foods movement in our community. We look forward to your reservation!
