Martin's Farmstand: Honey and Apples
Hello again. It is time to be thinking about laying up a supply of things like honey, potatoes, apples, carrots, kale, beets etc. There is something right about well stocked cellars and pantries as winter starts.
My Dad has harvested several hundred pounds of honey from our bees which is available on the stand. I may be partial but I think Dad’s honey that we have this fall is way better than most honey. We have a full selection of storage apples picked and lots of late potatoes dug.
There are still a lot of potatoes, beets, carrots etc in the field. Do any of you wish to help with the late fall harvest? It is a way to stock up with out spending money. Have a good night. Daniel
Champaign, OH: Love and Comfort
So, tonight is just a cold rainy mess out there. I worked the afternoon in my shop, needed to work a bit later in my shop to start sprucing up for my upcoming ribbon cutting/open house, and then headed home.
It is one of those windy, dreary, rain filled nights. I was cold and in need of wine, and nourishment when I walked in the door.
I poured the wine, and then I got busy with the nourishment of dinner. I started making a Cosmic Wild Rice/Potato soup. Full of veggies from this market. Full of Cosmic love. And, it will be on tap, the rest of the week, at The Depot Coffeehouse. If you are not a vegetarian/vegan, like I am, you can easily add a variety of meat or seafood…Cosmic bread that I baked, this morning, will go with the soup.
We have it all, right here at the market. Well, except for the wine. Just think of how easy, affordable and nutrient filled your dinner could be if you shop with us!!
The market will close at 10pm, this evening!! Give us your orders of love and comfort. Let us make your week easy…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Quote for the Day
I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to be overwhelmed by the details of life this week. I was reminded by a friend of the wonderful book, Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. My thoughts led me to a quote that is apropos for the ALFN membership:
“There’s nothing equal to wearing clothes and eating food. Outside this there are neither Buddhas nor Patriarchs.” Zenrin Kushû (The Way of Zen 152, 224)
This makes me laugh. I guess the way of Enlightenment can be found at a table. May your eating and foraging be mindful and tranquil. Here’s to our common need.
Zenfully,
Kyle Holton

Champaign, OH: Our House
I’ll light the fire…
You put the flowers in the vase that you bought today…
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you…
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me…
(Crosby Stills Nash – Our House)
Same song title of last Weblog, very different genre…and one of my favorite songs of all times. It reminds me of the fall season, of comfort, of love, and I love knowing that Graham Nash wrote this for Joni Mitchell back in the day…
But, back to the fall season, and this song. Just imagine the cozy fire, the fall flowers in a vase, music playing, and the fall breakfasts, lunches, dinners being prepared in the kitchen…
Our little market of love can help with the foods, coffees, teas, spices, jams, syrups, meats, breads, eggs, honey, dairy, flour, vegetables, greens, seafood, cheeses to help in all of your fall needs for all of the fall goodness coming out of your kitchen…
Take some time, today, to grab a warm drink, make a list, and instead of heading out to a big box store, give our little local market a try…we have it all, and it’s all done, right here, where you live…
The market will close, tonight, at 10pm…get those orders in…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
