Champaign, OH:  Happy Sparkling Wednesday!

Just taking a moment before my crazy day begins to thank each of you for not only shopping the market, this week, and showing it so much love…but, for allowing us to bring you all of the local goodness, each and every week.

This time, last year, we were cruising along. A nice market but still just a little tiny local market that saw steady weeks, and a handful of loyal customers.

You know the curveball that was thrown to all of us, and the chaos that would be brought on. But, one of my favorite lines is…Every great moment of change is brought on by chaos. And, while those may not be the exact words, the thought is very much what happened to this market.

The silver lining in 2020 has been to watch this market move, transition, and grow into the blooming success that it is.

Thank you, customers, vendors, and fellow market manager…each week, you all amaze me.

Tomorrow will be the last market pick up of the year before we all take a holiday break. It will reopen for order taking on NYE.

You may pick up your orders, tomorrow, between 4pm-6pm. You may arrange for a Friday pick up, 10am-12pm. If you are a Yellow Springs customer through Clem & Thyme, we will deliver your order, Friday, to their farm offices, after 1pm.

First time customers, this week…you may pay by card, by first calling me with your number that will then go into our files for future purchases. Or, you can pay by checks made out to Oakview Farm Meats, or exact cash, in a ziplock bag, with your name. Customers who are delivery, must have card on file.

That is it! I will see you at tomorrow’s pick up, and then I will see you after the holiday…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Want to change your pickup time? Pickup times are established and changed in response to weekly sales volume and available volunteer hours.

To change your slot or request early or late pickup, please text 912.481.2263 with your ORDER NAME and the TIME you want to pick up.

Remember! When you head out to your pickup location, be sure to take a mask, a placard with your order name(s), and appropriate containers for your food.

THE DRIVE-THROUGH PROCEDURE in Statesboro.

• Drive to the right (counter clockwise) all the way around the SCVB, keeping to the outer perimeter and maintaining a tight queue. A volunteer will check you in as you come around the far side of the building.
• Please display the name(s) for your order(s) on a windshield placard to assist in quick and safe check-in.
• Please wear a mask while communicating with market staff.
• Provide access to your vehicle and to the containers you want loaded (bags, boxes, bins or coolers); unlock the back door or the trunk, with containers inside.
• We recommend that you bring a cooler for transporting meat, dairy and perishable items. Ice cream melts, even in a short car trip, and our fresh non-homogenized milk is temperature sensitive.
• Wait in your car for the runner to come out with your order and load into your containers. Make sure your name placard is visible.
• If you did not prepay on line with a debit or credit card, please make a check for exact amount when your order is delivered. (You may pay cash in exact amount, but any “change” from cash received will be credited to your account. Use an envelope to label the cash payment with your order name.)

PICKUP for SYLVANIA CUSTOMERS.
Pickup is at the Victory Gardens General Store. Please remain in your car until volunteers bring your order, and wear a mask when interacting with volunteers. We recommend that you bring a cooler for transporting meat, dairy and perishable items.

HOME DELIVERY CUSTOMERS.
Orders will be delivered between 2:00 and 5:00 by Boro Takeout. You will receive a notice when your driver is on the way. We recommend you leave a cooler at the front door (or your designated delivery location) to facilitate no-contact delivery and to keep perishable food safe.

EBT CUSTOMERS.
Right now we can scan EBT/SNAP cards only at the Statesboro pickup location. So, if you have ordered online with the intent to pay with your EBT card, you’ll need to come to the Statesboro Drive Through at the Convention and Visitors Bureau between 4:00 and 6:00. Email or text us in advance so we can calculate your bonus dollars and the amount to be charged to your card.

Old99Farm Market:  Climate Awareness campaign Ward13 (Dundas/Flamborough)

Hello all,
The climate Crisis is in full bloom, in spite of being hidden in the noise of the covid pandemic.
I’m sending this to lists I have that include people living in Ward 13, Hamilton. I actually live on the boundary, ward 12 side of the road, but no matter. Ward 13 is Dundas but goes way out to Kirkwall and past to Concession 10 on north, and Hwy 6 on the east except for Waterdown.

There is an initiative started by two millennial aged residents to start some local response to the climate crisis. The co-founder Alex Wilson told me they are gauging interest in the climate issue, hoping to mobilize around specific issues, maybe even a ‘culture of engagement’ with the City’s climate plan.

The first session was on the weekend; two more happening via zoom on Wed 16th, one at 12 and one at 6pm Link to zoom call here: https://zoom.us/j/99196600647 Cell phone access 647-374-4685
A friend attended the first session and gives this report:

It was a very interesting discussion. 14 ppl attended including Community Permaculture Lab members, a few from Dundas Works, a lawyer involved in environmental issues, a few who are very involved with Dundas churches and community gardens.

It was a good coming together of people seeking some organization to channel and focus our energies on climate issues.

There are obvious pockets of good works happening in the community and a suggestion to inventory these activities for an overall community direction, given the lack of apparent action on the part of council.

Same link for all: https://zoom.us/j/99196600647

We first heard of it on December 12, I attach that message with attached poster. Due to short notice, you can email [email protected] to express interest to be on the mailing list. I invite you to share this event with others.

Subject: Kitchen Table Talks on Climate Change and the Environment.

Dundas Works facilitators Bob, Jim, Margot, Michelle and Tim continue to “meet” over the pandemic months to figure out a path forward. With other community leaders showing us how to properly conduct large group meetings online, we are also working toward this goal in the new year to continue our roundtables. One of those leaders is Alex Wilson, who is Constituency Assistant to MPP Sandy Shaw. Alex was instrumental in a recent Town Hall Sandy held on Bill 229. Alex is excited to host a Kitchen Table Talk on Climate Change and the Environment. There are three virtual sessions set up depending on your availability: - Saturday December 12th from 2-4 pm - Wednesday December 16th from 1-2 pm - Wednesday December 16th from 6-8 pm

Champaign, OH:  Christmas

It’s Christmas
Baby please come home
Yeah!

(Christmas) The snow’s coming down
(Christmas) I’m watching it fall
(Christmas) Lots of people around
(Christmas) Baby please come home
(Christmas) The church bells in town
(Christmas) They’re ringing their song
(Christmas) Oh the happiest town
(Christmas) Baby please come home

They’re singing “Deck The Halls”
But it’s not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

(Christmas) Pretty lights on the tree
(Christmas) I’m watching them shine
(Christmas) You should be here with me
(Christmas) Baby please come home

Oh!
Baby please come home
Baby please come home

They’re singing “Deck The Halls”
But it’s not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

(Christmas) If there was a way
(Christmas) I would hold back these tears
(Christmas) For this Christmas day
(Christmas) Baby please come home

Home
Baby please come home!
Baby please come home!
Baby please come home!
Oh!
Baby please come home!
Baby please come home!
(The U2 version)

Just another Christmas song off of my personal playlist to pass on to you, as you do the last of your ordering for the week! You have one hour to complete your orders until next month!

And, this song…it takes me way back to the late 80s when I was living in Los Angeles, cruising around to my haunts in Westwood Village, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and up in Laurel Canyon.

In this time frame, I wasn’t making the trek back for Christmas in those years because I was a flight attendant, based in Los Angeles, and holding down all of the LAX-JKF flights during holiday times. This song was playing in all of my little local favorite hang out places in California, making me both homesick, yet excited for my new holiday adventures with the friends, out there, who became my family in that segment of time.

Holiday spirit is everywhere, and the magic of the season starts within your heart…

So, I leave you until I close up the market at 8pm…this market is crazy, this week, and you are making the vendors so very grateful.

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
