Champaign, OH: Take It Easy
Take it easy, take it easy…
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy…
Come on baby, don’t say maybe…
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me…
(Take It Easy-The Eagles-Glen Frey vocals)
So, little local market of love customers…another market is in the books, and it was one of those markets where your managers all got to spend time, together, laughing, planning, and setting the market up. We have quite a few events, sponsorships, outings that we will be keeping you up to date just so you can come out and support us.
This market is always like that…peaceful, easy, groovy, and fun. As each vendor dropped off, we got to spend time, chatting, and touching base with all of them.
Our market depends on the ease of the flow, the vibe between managers, vendors, customers, and the YMCA. I love the market nights when I have the chance to chat with each and every one of you! I love this market, and I love being such a hands on manager. You all make this market what it is, you make the market successful, and you help us take the whole local rock star scene to new and exciting levels.
Thank you, to all of you, for your continued dedication to making this market such a strong force in this community.
It’s been a very weird week, we lost another great one in Glen Frey of The Eagles. The YMCA/Art Affair On The Square/and myself, personally, lost Betsy Bohl, and my emotions have been in overdrive. It was so nice to be able to open the market, tonight, with so many smiling faces, loving feelings, and familiar surroundings…
We all need that peaceful easy feeling just so we can all take it easy…
Go, show some love, be kind, and always show your lovelight to anyone who may need it.
I am now opening the market for the week. Take It Easy…and let us help you…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Group Buy: Grass Fed Cheeses
This weekend we will be taking orders for grass-fed cheese from Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese and Jason Wiebe Dairy.
Low Temp Pasteurized and Raw Milk Cheeses will be available.
Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese and Jason Wiebe Dairy are 2 creameries I’ve worked with for a while and both have wonderful cheeses.
I’ve asked the cheese makers to put “(Raw Milk Cheese)” in the title if it is raw milk cheese aged 60 days according to FDA regulation. All other cheeses are low temp pasteurized.
Raw milk cheese that is listed on the market is safe for human consumption and is aged at least 60 days per FDA regulation.*
Prices and available sizes will be on the market website tomorrow for ordering. The pricing will include shipping and taxes/fees.
The cheese will NOT be available for pick up this Tuesday. Please allow at least 2 weeks. I will email you when it is available for pick up.
- Cows Raised without synthetic hormones
- Cows are grass-fed and raised on pasture
- Old World, Handmade Cheese making Techniques
- Cheeses made with non-homogenized low temp pasteurized or raw milk and aged at least 60 days to comply with the USDA regulations for raw milk cheese production
- Vegetable-based rennet, to make it more acceptable to vegetarians
- Cheeses that are not considered raw are pasteurized at the lowest legal temperature for 15 seconds
See Kenny’s and Jason’s website for more detailed information about their process: http://www.kennysfarmhousecheese.com/

Benefits of Grass-Fed Cheese
- One of the few foods that contains a perfect balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats, a ratio ideal for your health
- Very high in CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) In fact, it contains five times more CLA than dairy from grain-fed cows! CLA, which are most abundant in grass-fed products, are among the most potent cancer fighters in all foods.
- Considerably higher in beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E than cheese and other dairy from grain-fed sources
- High in the healthy calcium and protein your body needs
- Free from growth hormones and antibiotics
Coffee Tasting – JavaGenesis
Juanice from JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting will be at pick up this Tuesday, Jan 26th with samples of their freshly roasted, brewed coffees. It will be a wonderful opportunity to try out some fantastic coffees and to meet your roaster!
JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting is a small batch craft coffee roaster located in Bethlehem, Georgia.
If you miss this tasting, you will have another opportunity to meet them at their Roastery Open House on February 7, 2016, 10am-3pm. The address is 741 Harry McCarty Rd, Unit 102, Bethlehem, GA 30620. You can drop by any time during the open house hours.
Market News
My Daily Bread is back from vacation! All their listings are back on the market. They are running a special this week – sourdough sliced bread and cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting are $1.00 off this week! Look for this in the Weekly Special section on the market website.
Cultured Traditions has listed a new traditional Russian fermented drink – Bread Kvass
What is Bread Kvass?
Bread Kvass is a fermented beverage traditionally made from toasted dark rye bread. It has been consumed in Russia for at least 1,000 years, enjoyed by everyone from czars to peasants. Slightly brown and bubbly, with a beer-like taste and many other malty and fruity flavor notes, Bread Kvass is very refreshing and is said to be among the best things on earth to quench your thirst. During hot summer months in Russia it is sold straight from huge barrels by street vendors and people line up to get a glass of cold tangy beverage.
Many of the healthy properties of traditionally made kvass come from the fermentation process. They never pasteurize or heat their Kvass, it is living probiotic goodness! They do not use any commercial yeasts or starters instead they grow their own. This is definitely a fun, healthy drink to try!
Also, their Kimchi is ON SALE! Look for this in the Weekly Special section on the market website.
Fry Farm Update- Fry Farm had to put all their produce listings on hold. They had some cold damage last week and lost some items and the others will need to recover. I’ll let you all know when they are back on the market.
