Siloam Springs, AR: The Online Market is Open!
Join us for Kids Day at the Market!
The 2nd Saturday each month.
8am-12pm
The Power of Produce (POP) Club provides a fun opportunity for children to engage in the local food system through conversations directly with farmers, educational games and demonstrations, and exposure to new fruits and vegetables. In addition to participating in educational activities, POP Club kids receive POP Club tokens to spend at the market, allowing them to make their own shopping decisions at the market. This program is set-up for ages 3-12.
To participate in this year’s POP Club all you need to do is login to your Locally Grown account, add a “Pop Club Kids Day RSVP” for each participating child to your cart, and check out! This will help us know how many kiddos plan to stop by during Kids Day. Don’t forget, you’ll have to “RSVP” each month.

*Creating an account is easy, if you haven’t already done so! No credit card required to create an account OR to RSVP.
2 Bite Club, POP tokens pick up, and all other information will be located at the concession stand in Memorial Park.
The Outdoor Market will be open Saturdays from 8am – 12pm.

Champaign, OH: Colors Of The Holiday!
Sorry for the second post, but while I was placing my market order, I put in my order for Champaign Berry blackberries, and noticed that Red Raspberries are also listed!! The red and the blue (sort of) in the red, white, and blue (real dark blue)
Anyway, all this to say that berry season will be fading, so why not stock up?
Now, go, enjoy, I will stop pestering you…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Champaign, OH: Happy Holiday Weekend!
Just checking in, making sure all of you are enjoying the extended weekend, and hoping that you don’t forget that the market is here, open, and ready to take those orders because I know, like always, it gets a bit lost in the shuffle, when there is a Monday holiday!
I just don’t want you to be sad, that you missed out on all of the late season goodness!
Stock up, now!!! You can freeze so much of the seasonal produce, and sweet corn, so you can still have that summer feeling, all winter long…
I’m just sitting here, with coffee, making my own market orders….what about you?
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

The market opened for ordering, as usual, on Sunday morning, and will close at 10 pm on Tuesday. Please support our local farmers, all of whom live within thirty miles of our market. Shorten your supply chain! Shop local!

NOTES
Remember to order items from Solace Farm by Tuesday afternoon. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes. Remember: you can always order your Solace Farm products early, and place a second order for your other items.
Please note that both cow’s and goat’s milk can be frozen so that you will have a whole week’s supply. Simply divide a bottle into two containers to allow some room for expansion as the milk freezes. If you have any questions, ask the managers.
With September’s shorter days and (hopefully) cooler weather come some new items on the market. Some new items in the last couple of weeks are:
(top) Mozarella Cheese and Ice Cream from Altamont Mennonites, Dream Cheese Balls from Dogwood Acres Farm.
(middle) Raw Kefir from Arrows and Shoots, Crystal Apple Cucumber and Lemon Cucumber from Dogwood Acres Farm.

Have you noticed the good variety of sweet spreads on Foothills Market? We have everything from apple butter to strawberry jam to muscadine jelly to pepper jelly – not to mention sorghum. Granted, there’s plenty of sugar in these spreads, but there’s also the goodness of fresh, local fruit. Although strawberry season is long gone, we can still enjoy a little spoonful of strawberry flavor!
Check out our sweet spreads (including the lower-sugar varieties) on the market. You can also browse our offerings of late-summer vegetables between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. We’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday.
