Champaign, OH: Tuesday Love Note
Just popping on to let you know that you have until 8pm, this evening, to get your orders in!
If you missed out on eggs, earlier in the week, both 4 Hens and a Rooster, and Oakview added more eggs!
The market is going to crazy, and for that we thank you from the bottom of our vendors’ hearts!
I just got in for the day, and am headed to place my own order!!
XOXO,

Wedge Oak Farm: Happy Thanksgiving Market! Order til Friday 9AM
We have been working hard around the farm this month to have all the goods available for y’all this weekend!
If you have pre-ordered a turkey, we will have them ready to pick up at Richland Park on Saturday 11/21 from 9 – noon or you can pick up on the farm from noon – 2PM.
If you decided against a turkey, we still have plenty of beef and pork roasts, steaks, geese, and of course whole chickens to fill your Thanksgiving table. We also have lots of goodies to help you prepare your complete meal – including King Hickory Cornmeal, the very best lard, Italian sausage, Herb Apple sausage, chicken stock, and Applewood smoked bacon and bacon ends.
Don’t forget to add our bulk sausages to your order for your stuffing, dressing, or breakfast – Medium Breakfast, Hot Breakfast, Extra-Sage Sausage, Medium Poultry Breakfast, and Two Pigs.
And we also wanted to remind you all that we will not be at Richland Park on Saturday 11/28, so stock up for a relaxing post-Thanksgiving weekend. Please have your orders in by 9AM Friday, and we look forward to seeing all of you this weekend!
Have a great week!
Caldwell County, KY, Farmers Market: Week of November 16-20, 2020
Happy Tuesday, market customers! We hope this weekly email finds you happy and healthy.
Each week, we send out this email to remind you of the online market and the items available to purchase through that market.
Even though the summer months have passed and the onsite farmers market is finished for this year, we would still like to offer what seasonal products and crafts we can on our online market site.
We encourage everyone to check the online website each week to see what is available as new items may be added on a weekly basis.
Currently, there are a few fall vegetables being offered along with meats, baked goods, bath and beauty products, and holiday decorative items.
As mentioned last week, it’s not too early to be thinking about holiday shopping. Check out the various bath and beauty products that are available along with those holiday decorations mentioned above. They would make nice gifts for someone.
ORDERING
Orders can still be placed between Tuesday and Thursday. Our online market will open on Tuesday mornings and close on Thursday evenings.
PICKUP
Customers who place online orders will pick up their orders between 10-11AM at City Hall where the farmers market meets. The address for pick up is 206 E Market Street in Princeton.
If you have any questions about the online market, please feel free to email us at [email protected].
As always, whether you place an online order or you stopped by to see what was available at our onsite market this past season, we appreciate your continued support!
Thank you for being a valued customer!
Champaign, OH: Don't Stop
If you wake up and don’t want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You’ll see things in a different way.
(Fleetwood Mac-written by Christine McVie)
Today’s Song Implant comes to us from weekly customer Kathleen Smith!
What a great song choice! Originally written by Christine McVie to help her deal with her separation from from band member John McVie, and to encourage people to always move forward. Put the bad days behind. A great pep song, no matter where you are in life.
Also, I want to remind all of you that the market closes, this evening, at 8pm, for the week’s orders!
AND…this is the last market before our Thanksgiving week’s break, next week!!
Have the grooviest of Tuesdays, and I will see you all, this evening, as I close out the market! Don’t miss out!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Old99Farm Market: input for Week of Nov 15
Christmas is fast approaching, are you looking for a unique gift idea? I was just asked by the parent of a young family customer if I could do a gift certificate for meats, produce, etc. I said sure, of course! So we’ve created a treasure chest of beef and pork. We’ll send out an electronic gift card and make it all fancy. If interested, send an email to [email protected].
Give the gift or organic deliciousness this season.
…Customer Testimony…
“The kale I bought last week is still fresh and crispy. It tastes so good. Nothing like the stuff from the grocery store. I’m so glad we found your farm!”
This is a testimony from a customer who called me while they were on lunch break to tell me they really enjoyed their salad.
If that isn’t positive testimony I don’t know what is.
Have you tried our green frilly kale? Its on SPECIAL this week for 50% OFF!
We also have turnips (tops on), red kale, collard greens, health kick salad blend, Swiss chard, choi sum, carrots, baby carrots, beets, three types of squash, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, tropeana onions, black currants and of course our pasture raised beef, pork, chicken, rabbits and eggs.
We want to remind you that if you have any questions, comments or concerns we love to hear from you!
WINTER MARKET HOURS – 4PM to 6PM Thursday and Friday.
Special arrangement for pickup can be made for Saturdays by contacting Nick at 519-755-0577.

Champaign, OH: Market Reminders From Sunshine Central
Good morning, market lovelies!!
It’s a beautiful sunshine day now that those crazy winds have subsided!
And, with the sunshine streaming in, I wanted to also bring you some sunshine reminders to start the week!
This week’s market is going crazy with orders, and we are also continuing to add new customers! So, I thought this would be a great time to revisit the workings of the market!
We close, tomorrow evening, at 8pm, for the week’s orders. Pick up for the orders is Thursday evening, 4pm-6pm, at the site of Oakview Farm Meats, St. Rt.54, Urbana. We generally shut down the greenhouse where the market takes place, promptly, at 6pm. At that point, I like to get my father on the road, back home…you know, the smiling volunteer from the greenhouse. And, I like to make a fast retreat, home, at that point, for my evening block of time to regroup. AKA a large glass of wine.
If you are a Friday pick up, already on the books, we know we will see you between 10am-12pm, Fridays. If you find that your schedule needs you to pick up on a Friday, please let me know, ahead of time, so I can add you to the Friday list.
We require everyone to stay in your cars, and we bring the orders to you! Payment is either taken care of, contactless, with a credit or debit card. This means you will need to call me with your number, the first time, and then you are added into the market POS system, and you no longer need to phone. Your card will automatically be charged for your order.
If you are paying in cash, please have the exact amount, in a ziplock bag, with your name! Check payments can be made out to Oakview Farm Meats.
If you are our Clem & Thyme customer base, your delivery to Yellow Springs will be on Friday afternoon, to their farm/office, with a small delivery fee added.
After the Thanksgiving break, we will talk more about the delivery system, especially when the weather gets bad, for those of you who do not want to be on the roads.
I hope I have explained things to the new customers, and it’s always good to revisit for everyone!
It’s Monday, and the market is ready to take your orders…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
