Champaign, OH:  When You Buy From A Small Business...

An Actual Person Does A Little Happy Dance…

One of the things that I love most about managing this online market, is my relationship with each vendor. Our market is approaching it’s 10th year in existence, and if you think about each week, for 10 years, that is a lot of time to spend with vendors who become family.

We boast such an amazing array of vendors, products, personalities, and all with a willingness to go that extra mile, not only for me, but for all of the market customer base.

I have never worked with so many people who all have such positive, upbeat souls….all helping to push this market, each and every week!

When you are shopping, look back at last year, and how so many of you started to become more and more aware of your food source, your health concerns, your fears of where your food that was actually coming from, and then your love of knowing where our growers are growing/producing.

Your health was a concern. The local community was your concern. You began to learn what I have been screaming about, on my soapbox, for years….you learned the difference between buying locally grown vs. buying food that was available in local stores.

You learned that buying local doesn’t always mean that it is being grown locally.

Our vendors love this market, they love the customers, and they love, each week, watching the orders flood in for their products. They are not concerned about getting rich, or having HUGE sales, each and every week. I mean, yes…when everyone has a great selling week, we all cheer, but you know what concerns our vendors? You. The actual customer. The people. If they make only one sale that week, they are still doing that happy dance.

This market has always been about customer first, vendor happiness, and the best locally grown and produced products.

We have the next expansion plan in the works to help kick off our tenth year that happens in May, and I am so excited to watch it come to life!!

The market is open for ordering, we are ready to do happy dances, and we are ready to make you, the customer, even more happy with what we provide!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Champaign, OH:  And, Then, The Winds...

My, oh my…what a windy, rainy, cold market!!

Thank you to all who came out to grab your orders! Thank you for the patience when lines got a little jammed up! Thank you for your chit chat, laughs, and just general friendship.

It’s not always a sunshine, daydream weather kind of market pick up, so I love that I can count on all of your loveliness, as the wind and rain knocks me all over the place!

I have poured a large glass of wine, and ready to call it a day, but first will open up the market to your ordering needs!!

Thank you for always supporting this market…we thank you, kindly…

XOXO,

Miami County Locally Grown:  Are you surviving Monsoon Season?

Ah, Spring – the glorious time of year that makes Mud the name of the game on the farm…

When you wonder where your preschooler ventured off to, only to find her boots stuck fast in the Mud up to her knees, singing to herself and waiting for someone to hear her (thank Heaven it wasn’t my nervous one who would have been a wreck!)…

When your husband calls and tells you not to come home because you’d need a canoe to get up the driveway…

When you look at the spaces where your garden should be and find it inconceivable anything could possibly grow there in the near future…

When your second grader says, “I’m heading out to make sure the sheep haven’t floated away” and he comes back in to show you his arms grew 6 inches (since yesterday, seemingly) and do I care if he comes in wet because his raincoat doesn’t fit?…

When your two year old stands forlornly staring at the rain beating the window, repeating, “Water. Eewwwwyy” ad nauseum.

I’m fresh out of words and positivity, folks. It’s all floated away ;-)

But wait! Could that be the sun?? It’s the makings of a beautiful day!

Miami County Locally Grown:  Greens Fins Returns to the Market!

How appropriate that our Aquaponic vendor, Green Fins, returns to the Market as I look out over our new lake with the creek breaking its banks!

You’ll find her chard, romaine, kale, and pak choi again available, chemical free and fertilized only from her hard-working little fish!

Stay safe and warm with all the rain and the wind – how wonderful Ohio keeps us on our toes!

And makes me even more glad for both new calves and piglets being born to keep us happily busy and distracted, and especially for our most recent discovery of new bunches of early spring flowers growing in unexpected spots – that’s I think one of my favorite charms of living on an old farmstead – annually discovering blooming beauties in the most random places!

Hope your rainy day is full of a bit of surprising beauty as well!

Champaign, OH:  Looks Like Rain

The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain…
(Grateful Dead)

Well, lovely customers…it’s going to be a downpour of a wet afternoon, today, for pick up! I will be running in and out, quickly, with your orders, trying to keep us all dry and on the way!!

Pick up is from 4pm-6pm. If you need a

If you are new, this week, your payment options are phoning me, this morning, with card payment, or writing a check for your order, made out to Oakview Farm Meats, OR exact cash in a ziplock bag, with your name on it!

And, with the rain, today, let’s also put all checks into ziplock bags!! When I am getting your payments, I don’t want the checks to get all wet, as well!

We had one trivia winner, this week, and that was Sarah McHenry! Her song guess was…Sugar Magnolia for the one song theme of my daughter’s long ago nursery!!

There were many other guesses, but none correct for the second song, which was…Scarlet Begonia!!

Ok, lovelies…if you ordered, this week, I will see you all at pick up!!

Stay dry…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
