McColloms Market:  January Market Open


Hi All:

I apologize if this is a duplication but I want to make sure you get it. I didn’t get my usual copy so I’m sending it again.

I have opened the Market for January. Pick up will be at my house at 112 Shepard Ave. next Friday, January 20th starting at 4:30 pm.

I also want to acknowledge the passing of Nancy Moriarty whose baked goods have been a mainstay of this Market for years. She had a wonderful heart and cared deeply for our community, her family, including her beloved cats, and about providing high quality baked goods for her customers. And yes, she was a character.

I miss her greatly and suspect that many of you do as well.

Until next Friday. Take care in the meantime.

Thanks.

Melinda

Champaign, OH:  Crazy Train


Hello, and welcome back to the little local online market!!

This evening was the first market pick up of the year, and I think crazy train sums it all up!!

We had high winds, sheets of rain, a washed out greenhouse that washed away customer names, making it a guessing game of sorts, no lettuce, and your manager who just blew in from vacation just in time to jump on the crazy train with the rest of you.

So….fingers crossed for a more relaxed pick up, next week!

I am opening the market, and hoping that you all have a lovely evening!

XOXO,
Pam

Connie's Cornucopia:  We have Buffalo & Lamb


We have added Carrell Farms, Inc. – Monroe, GA – David & Shalley Carrell. They will be providing our family and friends with honest, nutrient dense food. They are not afraid to venture outside of the commodity structure of agriculture to produce a product free of antibiotics, drugs, and GMO’s. Their unique meats are raised right; living a species appropriate lifestyle, eating a species appropriate diet, and harvested humanely. They have water buffalo, alpaca, and lamb are 100% grassfed and finished. Carrell Farms grazes its animals on a forage chain of warm and cool season grasses, legumes, and forbs.

We are starting out with a few items but in 2-3 weeks we should have the rest of their items in stock. I do plan on getting with them and post some videos or information educating us on how best to cook their meats.

Thanks
Connie
