Champaign, OH: Feelin' Groovy
Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy
Hello lamppost, what’cha knowing
I’ve come to watch your flowers growin’
Ain’t you got no rhymes for me?
Doo-ait-n-doo-doo, feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy
I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I’m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life, I love you, all is groovy…
(59th Street Bridge Song-Simon and Garfunkel)
Song implant: Weekly customer Kathleen
I’ve used this song, before, many times, and when Kathleen gave me her song choice, I just smiled…
I feel like no other song makes me happy, trippy, or skippy, as this song.
And, this is how I feel about this week’s market! Another great market, a whole lot of customers, more new customers, and returning customers from over the years.
Tomorrow, pick up is between 4pm-6pm, with no time slots assigned!
If you are a new customer, you may call me, today, with card payment information, if you would like to be paid ahead, and then we can load you up, as you come through the car line!
OR…you can have a check made out to Oakview Farm Meats, or exact change, in a ziplock bag, with your name on the bag!
I do have to insert a note of seriousness…if you ordered, you are responsible for pick up that order. When the market closes, reports are done, checks are written to vendors, and we expect the money to be coming in with order pick up. If you don’t pick up, and ignore your payment responsibility, it costs the market money because we cannot recoup the loss that has been incurred. Last week was another incident of this. I am always about the peace and love, man, but I am also a hard nosed business gal, and need to put a stop to this nonsense.
So…consider this my very heartfelt love note. It doesn’t happen, often, but it has been happening, too much, for me to still be smiling about it.
Now…let’s see your smiling faces, and hear your song selections, and load you up with all of your amazing local products!
Life, I love you…all is groovy…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Market News
There’s a lot of scary news this week about contaminated onions in the national supply chain, and consumers have been advised to toss out onions, even if they come from an allegedly safe source. The good news in this situation is that our veggies all come from well outside the national supply chain – everything listed on our market is grown here in North Georgia by the very farms who are selling you their products. We do have onions on our market this week, and we can assure you they are safe, local, and very, very delicious. As you shop, know that we take your safety as our highest priority, from our handling of the food every step of the way to wearing masks when we deliver to you.
Please remember as you order that per the POA’s instructions, we cannot leave your food unattended. If you need us to deliver to your neighbor or slip your order inside your house, please be sure to tell us in the comments so we can make sure your order gets to you safely!
If you have other suggestion about how we can continue to make deliveries without being able to leave products unattended, we’d love to hear them. We’re still developing the best ways to get your orders to you, and we welcome any of your ideas.
As always, if you enjoy being a member of Big Canoe Harvest, tell your friends! The more the market grows, the more additional vendors and products we’ll be able to include. As always, your feedback help shapes the market. Let us know what you think about the Big Canoe Harvest products.
Have a wonderful week, and we’ll see you Saturday!

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
Caldwell County, KY, Farmers Market: Week #15 CCFM Online Ordering
The online market is now open for orders.
Statesboro Market2Go: Order Before Midnight!
Remember to place your Market2Go order before midnight for pickup on Thursday.
We have some announcements here at Market2Go this week!
First off, please join us in welcoming the newest vendor Sonni Branch Creations, who has some lovely hand-made wreaths with locally sourced components!
Next up, Anthony’s Roots has fresh jujubes, which are similar to sweet apples. They are high in vitamin C and can have many health boosting properties. Jujubes can be enjoyed as they are or can also be used to make tea.
And finally both Ma’s Country Pantry and Ogeechee Peaches have scuppernongs and muscadines grapes available this week. These native grapes do have seeds to contend with, but they’re definitely worth it! They are high in micronutrients and antioxidants with potential health benefits.
If you’re looking for something to do with scuppernongs and muscadines besides jam, then consider trying out Muscadine Salsa or Chicken with Muscadine or Scuppernong Grapes
Thank you for supporting your local farmers and vendors!
Grumpy Goat: Better Late than Never
The weeks are flying by so fast I am losing track of the days. So I apologize for the delay in opening up the ordering.
We continue to have an amazing edamame harvest this year. Think about getting a couple extra pounds and preserving them for a delicious winter meal. They are very easy to blanch and freeze and will cook up great on a cold winter night.
Green beans, tomatoes, and peppers are continuing to produce and a small number of the leafy greens are back on the market. (Remember if something is listed as sold out you can leave us a comment when ordering and we might be able to fulfill it still. We always try to have a bit of padding on our amounts listed!)
We will also be listing some nice sized, freshly harvested onions – Yellow or Red.
Thanks for all your continued support of us and our small, local, organic produce operation!
