Champaign, OH:  Friday Trivia Night

Happy Friday evening on this cold, cold night!!

I wanted to tell you that the February menu for both Cosmic Charlie and Hippie and the Farmer is now up, live, and ready for ordering!

New soups, pizzas, and frozen dinners!

Also…it’s time for a bit of Cosmic trivia for more chances to win a Cosmic product of your choice!!

Way back in time, when I used to bake for restaurants, I used to bake for two local coffeehouses, and they used my breads for their pressed panini sandwiches!

There can be two winners, again, and please, one answer per person!! I’m looking for both of the coffeehouse names!!

Ok…stay warm, and I am off to rest up for a weekend of making Hippie and the Farmer food for a small dinner party of clients!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

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: Northeast Georgia Locally Grown will continue to help bring the best selection of local and chemical-free foods to you and your family as long as our volunteers feel comfortable and safe. Thanks for recognizing we can all do our part in operating in the safest way possible for upcoming markets. We are and will continue to operate under CDC and local guidelines to the best of our ability and knowledge. 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!

Old99Farm Market:  Food Forest: designing your garden. Tomorrow

Households starting to think about lifestyle changes due to climate disruption often start with a garden. What better place than in your front yard. That’s a great idea and I agree wholeheartedly.
So if the shoe fits, try it on!
Saturday morning (tomorrow) my colleagues and I at Community Permaculture Lab are putting on a ‘charette’ conversation about converting a front yard to a food garden and natural habitat.
Join the zoom call at 10am and listen, ask questions, make suggestions. No charge.

Edible Forest Garden Design Charette Feb 6, 10am to noon

Presentations of two urban site designs by CPL members on Tweedsmuir Ave and Ogilvie Ave in Dundas. All welcome. Home food production is one of the easiest ways to start thinking about retrofitting your lifestyle for the post-carbon future. And it’s fun and feels so good to ‘eat fresh from the garden’.

A ‘charette’ is a way of open-sourcing ideas about a given subject, often used by architects and designers. We invite people curious about permaculture’s way of creating sustainable futures for all sorts of households.

You could even join our design teams on these two sites learning how to do permaculture design for edible landscapes, so-called Forest Gardens. We hope the sites will show what CPL is doing, and contributing to Action 13, the new climate group in Dundas/Flamborough. Come on the call with us, listen, ask questions, make suggestions.

We think the future can be a better place focused on more fun but less stuff, more effort but less energy. Life as we know it hangs in the balance. We can imagine a way forward. Can you?

Permaculture is a worldview, a movement and a skill set for living well, within the Earth’s means. Care for the Earth, Care for people and Sharing earth’s fertility fairly is the core. Principles that capture the essence of healthy ecosystem function guide our designs.

We can learn to recognize the symbiotic ways Nature creates abundance and balance. We can study, plan and prepare the built space, the biological elements and the behavioural changes that will yield benefits for humans and creatures alike.

In our gardens and yards we can learn to cooperate with Nature and heal the damage that is climate disruption.

Community Permaculture Lab

We’re based in Westdale/Dundas and are willing to come to your neighbourhood to discuss getting a Lab started near you!

Our stated intent is to build resilience in our communities, in order to live well under the influence of climate disruption, through growing connections, knowledge and practice of permaculture. This small group of local citizens started in 2017 to learn about permaculture and in the process, create an example of social change for ecological renewal.

Champaign, OH:  Hazy Shade Of Winter

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There’s a patch of snow on the ground…
(Simon & Garfunkel)
(However, I am listening to The Bangles version, from the movie, Less Than Zero)

So…what a crazy market pick up!! That snow, sleet, ice, wind…all at once!! I am hoping that all customers got home, safe and sound!!

I am opening up the market with a few reminders…

Next week’s market pick up will be right before Valentine’s Day, so, if you need sweets for your sweet, you know that we offer them!!

If you need flowers for your sweetheart, a Galentine’s gift, or just a gift to yourself, because you are so amazing, we have a limited amount of the lovely Hawaii florals!!

AND…your market manager is tired, cold, and ready to settle in with a glass of wine…so, I will have the new Cosmic soups, breads, and Hippie and the Farmer frozen dinners all up, tomorrow!!

Thanks again for all of that came out in this weather!! You make the market what it is!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
