Monroe Farmers Market:  Monroe online market is open!

Hi everyone!

I am writing this entry to let you know that Monroe will once again have an online market. In the past, there were 2 online markets running, which was confusing.
We are going to merge the 2 markets into 1 for Monroe and the surrounding areas.

Our ordering window opens on Saturdays at 12pm and will close on Tuesdays at 5pm. So our customers and neighbors could have a mid-week option and for those who cannot make it to the weekend markets, we will have our pick ups on Thursday evenings, 4pm-6pm in Downtown Monroe.

If you would like to check out the market, go to monroe.locallygrown.net. This market is different from the one that was used in the past. If you would like to place an order or receive weekly emails, you can sign up for your free account to get started.

Hope to see you at the market!

Hi Friends,

The page is open for accepting this week’s orders. Lynnita is making some Gingerbread Muffins for Wednesday and says she will make some Bundt Gingerbread when we get closer to Christmas, so you might want to try some for a sample.

Had a great time last week with our indoor market. Remember to pull around to the back and masks are required inside. Melody and Kenny will be here with their offerings too.

Blessings,
Bob and Lynnita

Champaign, OH:  Christmas Wrapping

Bah! Humbug!
Now that’s too strong
‘Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year’s been a busy blur
Don’t think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just ‘cause it’s ’tis the season
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from last year
Ski shop encounter most interesting
Had his number but never the time
Most of ’81 passed along those lines
So deck those halls
Trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year…
(The Waitresses)

Well, here we are, again, the Christmas songs of my favorite playlists, all bringing back memories, making me smile, making me laugh, and making the Christmas cheer even more fun…

Happy Sunday, lovely local market customers!! I hope you are enjoying your weekend, and I hope you are loving these mild temperatures with the lovely sunshine!

Yesterday, I was invited to set up my vintage frocks and frills, in Yellow Springs, at one of their Holiday Pop Ups, inside Art+Craft. It was SO fun, and it felt so good to dust off the third business that has always been a part of my bag of tricks!! It closed up, at the onset of the 2020 pandemic, so it was nice to take all of my holiday glitz and glam out for a day of selling, and fun.

Yellow Springs was, as usual, alive with the Christmas spirit. People were flooding the sidewalks and streets. Shops were all hustle and bustle, the restaurants full, and the anticipation of their tree lighting was in the air.

It made me look back to my college days, early 80s, racing home after my last final…sleep deprived, food deprived, brain drain. I remember how good it felt to pack, drive, and just blast tunes for the entire three hour drive home.

And, once home, I would quickly unpack, listen to my mother exclaim concerns over my appearance, grab food, visit my grandparents, and then race off to my Christmas job in retail! At the mall! I was a mall rat during Christmas and summer breaks, and it was THE BEST time!!

I worked at the original Casual Corner, and at that particular store, I was the youngest employee, at the time, and the women I worked with…well, they were the early fashionistas I wanted to be! Christmas excitement was everywhere, all of my friends were home from college, and many working the mall, as well.

And…this song. You could not enter a shop, back then, without this song playing. To me, it’s the greatest, motivating, Christmas song, ever.

It would play in the bars, after work, while meeting up with pals. It played while I was doing my own Christmas shopping, and it played on the Christmas loop of music, at Casual Corner. I LOVED it all.

Yesterday reminded me of that old frenzy of Christmas cheer. Which also reminded me of this market, and the holiday cheer that we offer, in all of our products, and in our general mood, when you pick up your December orders.

Go ahead…blast this song while ordering, today, and just try not to groove around, all day…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: LAST CHANCE
to put in your order for decorations from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. This year I will be selling at Wildwood Christmas Tree Farm in Woodbury, and I want to be sure to reserve enough decorations for all my local friends…….So here is how this will work: prepay the total cost now, and reserve a delivery date. Note: it will be easier for me to fill your order on a later date. I promise I will not run out of wreaths and kissing balls, but it’s hard to make as many as are wanted early in the season. They should last about a month if outside, and will be just as beautiful after Christmas as before. Delivery will begin the first Wednesday of December and continue till all orders are filled. Order and pay now, pick up and enjoy in December. Coming in a month or so: Christmas cacti and African violets, both with foil florist pot wrap.

JillianFaithArt: I sell original artwork and prints of original pieces. They will make wonderful gifts or can brighten anyone’s day.

Bead Wench: Handcrafted Bracelets & hand-knotted Malas made with a healing purpose using real gemstone beads, love, and reiki!

Five White Oaks: I am a 4th generation resident of Murfreesboro, Tennessee who has been baking for friends and family for years. I make cakes, cookies and pies using recipes handed down in my family for more than a century. You will find that my goodies look and taste like what you remember when your Grandmother baked years ago. I use real butter and sugar, fresh eggs and cream in my bakes just the way I was taught so many years ago. My secret ingredient is the same as my own Grandmother’s was – the love I put into it!

Periwinkle and Pine Co.: I make beautiful handmade wreaths, bouquets, and decor using high quality faux florals and greenery.

Singing Bee Honey: I am a third generation beekeeper with 15 beehives in Woodbury, Tennessee. The honey produced is 100% local, raw, unfiltered, and pure. I do everything from managing the hives to harvesting the honey and labeling the jars. My plan is to continue to expand my apiary each year to increase inventory as return and new customers increase. Right now it is all liquid honey, but I plan to add cut comb honey next year.
