Champaign, OH:  A Snowy Homecoming


Happy Sunday, lovely little local market customers!!

Well, your long lost market manager is finally home, having left sunshine and 80 degrees, and returning to this snow globe type of weather. I was gone for a month, and totally missed the whole autumn season, but the snow makes a pretty landscape.

I’m sitting here with coffee, and ready to place my market order for the week! Have you placed your orders?

Also…PLEASE NOTE!!!

This market is the last before the Thanksgiving week break that we take!!!

That means it’s time to thank about all that you will need to get ready for the holiday!!! Again, there will be no market ordering or pick up, Thanksgiving week.

Also…PLEASE NOTE!!!

Although I am back in town, and will be helping at this week’s market, I am unable to bake for the market. I am totally jammed up with appointments, after having been gone for so long, leaving me no time to bake.

BUT…if you want your usual Cosmic Charlie dinner rolls, breakfast rolls, or any of my bread products, please contact me, via email, place your holiday order, and I can have everything baked, and ready for pick up, at the shop, Wednesday before Thanksgiving!! Please do not hesitate to place a holiday baking order!!

Ok…I think I covered all things market!!

Sending all the Sunday vibes…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

See all products

Market stays open from Fridays 9 p.m. until at least 9 p.m. Mondays!

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This online farmers market allows you to buy directly from multiple farms committed to chemical-free and local produce all year long! CHEMICAL-FREE means produce and pastures grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides. LOCAL means within 80 miles from the market pickup locations (usually much much closer). Do you know someone who grows chemical-free food in the area? Get them in touch with us. Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!

PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30 p.m.

If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION right after you order then your order is NOT complete. Log back in and your order might still be there waiting for you to check out! If you have any trouble or questions at all, we are here to help; simply reply to this email.

COVID19: Thanks for recognizing we can all do our part in operating in the safest way possible. Be on the lookout for the order reminder email with any changes to pickup or ways you can help minimize risk for our volunteers and each other. Thanks for your support!*
