Independence,VA:  Market is OPEN for August 7th pickup!

Good evening,

The Market is open and ready for you to order! Remember, you can place as many orders as you like during the week and sign up for one pickup time on Fridays. We include a packing slip on your box with everything you order each week. Please check to make sure you have all of your order before pulling off, occasionally items do get left out by accident.

This is the last week for our first monthly raffle! If you spend $30 or more dollars in any week with us, we’ll put a raffle ticket in your box with your order.  We’ll draw a lucky winner each month. The raffle will begin with your orders for delivery July 10 and go through August 7th.  August 7th happens to fall at the end of National Farmers Market week, so this 1st prize will be extra special!  Second and third place drawings will also be rewarded as a thank you for participating. You can also purchase tickets for $5 each if you click on the “Support the Market” tab and add “Monthly Drawing” to your cart on the Online Market.

Thanks again and happy shopping!

Champaign, OH:  Mandolin Wind

When the rain came I thought you’d leave
‘Cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
Through the darkest nights I’ve ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn’t change a thing
Then I know I love ya…
(Rod Stewart)

So much love for this song, for this album, for the pure pleasure of just sitting and letting the groove take over.

Aww, and the rain line, well, it was definitely a rain soaked market, this evening, but you all just smiled, and chatted, and spoke of appreciation of the market, of the little market sisterhood/brotherhood, and hoping that we would keep on keeping on.

No worries…this market is deep in my soul. Just like the music that I hold dear, this is my passion, and you, my lovelies, are so very important…all of you.

I’ve been on a Rod Stewart kick, lately. A Faces kick, lately, and I have flipped through my old collection of Rod Stewart albums. Like going home, again, and to borrow the title from this particular album, Every Picture Tells A Story…no words have ever been truer.

When I think of home in my soul, comfort in my heart, a feeling of peace and gratitude, this is my music. Spinning this vinyl, back in the day, is now spinning the vinyl in the here and now.

When I think of this market, and all of your sweet words, sweet messages, kindness, it’s like revisiting an old song, a long ago time, where it was just people helping people, and sharing the love.

I hope that this market brings to you the same peace, comfort, and soul happiness, as does an old song, an old feeling.

Tonight, I first would like to thank all of you for tossing out your song suggestions! They will all appear in my weblogs, this week. Thank you for your smiling faces, and your warmth. Thank you for giving me the gift of music via cds for me to listen to. And, thank you for sharing your Thursday early evenings with the market, and myself…

As I open the market, I want to let you all know that our friends at Freshwater Farms have been able to regroup, and get their production all caught up, and are able to now list all of your favorite products! We welcome them back…

And, as fellow producers, I would be lying if I didn’t say that in one way or another, we have been hit hard, since March. But, the struggles of us all, have landed here, and I am hopeful that I have been able to continue to steer the ship, while we all tried to keep calm waters.

Also, I am off of vacation mode, and am ready to bake for you! I spent the week planning for an event, tomorrow, and then I am all yours, again…

No mandolin wind couldn’t change a thing…

Go play some old school Rod Stewart…and, get your orders in while you groove the groove…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Springdale, AR:  Need Okra?

We’ve got okra, but it goes very fast some weeks. If you want to be sure and get your okra (and other veggies), place your order online and pick it up on Saturday morning! It’s a great way to not miss out on your favorites.

New this week: Ms. B’s Gourmet Thumbprint Cookies!

Statesboro Market2Go:  Market2Go Pickup!

Market2Go pickup in Statesboro is now at the Statesboro Convention and Visitors Bureau (SCVB) at 222 South Main Street. All pickups are on Thursday. Pickup times have recently changed for Statesboro and Sylvania, so please read carefully.

STATESBORO – THURSDAY Drive Through at SCVB starts at 3:30.

• Last names A – F 3:30 pm — 4:30 pm
• Last names G – N 4:30 pm — 5:30 pm
• Last names O – Z 5:30 pm — 6:30 pm

SYLVANIA – THURSDAY Pickup at Victory Gardens General Store
All Sylvania customers 4:00 pm — 5:00 pm

Want to change your pickup time? The purpose of the time slots is to try to achieve an even flow so nobody has to wait too long. But we want this to be convenient for you: if you need to change your time slot or location, please text 912.481.2263, tell us the ORDER NAME and the TIME you would like to pick up. We will even assign you some “bonus time” if you need to come after 6:30. Just let us know so we can make sure your order is in the right place at the right time. Please do NOT come before 3:30 as this creates a traffic backup.

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 across the street from 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 2:30 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 3:30 and 6:30. Email or text us in advance so we can calculate your bonus dollars and the amount to be charged to your card.
