Miami County Locally Grown: I blame the potato bugs
Market would’ve been open on time if I hadn’t gotten distracted when I got home. We’d spent a good portion of the evening last night in the garden picking, squishing, and generally attempting to obliterate our potato bug population.
I thought, when I pulled up the drive and passed our garden tonight, oh it’s so lovely out and it’ll be so nice to see clean, bug-free plants – I’ll just stop for a minute to look. And of course a minute turned into thirty as I kept finding new hatchlings from all the eggs we apparently missed last night, and it was so light out I didn’t dream 9 o’clock had snuck up on me so quickly!!
But better late than never, we’re back for another delicious week of local food, warm weather, and all the little joys of life.
I hope you enjoy something that satisfies you this week!! We sure will, with a quality-family-time-potato-bug collecting contest while we dream of homemade french fries, potato pancakes, real hash browns, and pierogis! Mmmm!
Plus fresh tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers are on the way?! Yum!!

Market News
Happy Tuesday! Summer is really getting started here at Big Canoe Harvest. So many delicious summer veggies are beginning, from squash to cucumbers to volleyball sized cabbages!
The Big Canoe POA reached out to us this week. They believe our service offers great benefit to the community (and we agree), but they are officially requesting that we no longer leave food unattended, even in a cooler. To be honest, we agree with the POA – we are always very concerned with the quality of our products when there is no one there to receive it.
So, this leaves you with a couple of options when it comes to delivery:
1. Be there! This is our favorite option, because we love to meet you when we make the deliveries.
2. Leave your door unlocked, with a cooler inside. We understand privacy, and we will respect your space by only going in far enough to leave the delivery. Eddy and I are the only ones making deliveries, so there’s no need to worry about random strangers.
3. Make arrangements to leave your order with a neighbor. Make sure your neighbor knows to expect us between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM on Saturdays. We are still streamlining our delivery service, so we cannot really give specific times.
When you make your order, if you plan on being there, great! If you need to give us special directions or tell us where to take your order, please tell us in the comments. In light of these changes, if we make your delivery and you are not home, we will no longer be able to leave your order unattended. If we have to make a second trip to your house, the delivery fee will be $5 instead of $2.
If anyone has another 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.
This week we are excited to welcome two new vendors to Big Canoe Harvest.
The first is Southern Grass Meat. Some of you may remember them from the Potts Mountain Farmers Market. We here at Big Canoe Harvest aren’t set up for meat deliveries yet (but we’re working on it), and so Southern Grass Meat’s vegetables will be what’s available through our market. We got the opportunity to tour their farm this week, and boy are we impressed with their set up! This week they have some of the most ENORMOUS cabbages we’ve ever seen, and their onions are so sweet and delicious we’ll be ordering them for ourselves.
Our second new vendor is Jen’s Elderberry Syrup. They are a small family business born from a passion for natural wellness and quality food for their family. Jen was an ICU nurse for 10 years before becoming a mama to her two adorable boys, so she’s deeply invested in safely creating and handling their elderberry syrup. We are big fans of elderberries and their health benefits at Big Canoe Harvest, so we are really excited to bring their products to Big Canoe.
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!

A FEW REMINDERS
ORDERING:

If anyone has questions about a product, they can email the grower or email the market.
PICK-UP:
Think of it as something like a drive-thru. On Saturday mornings from 9-11am, customers will pick up their online orders at the market location at Planter’s Park at City Hall. There will be a table set up, so all you need to do is pull up and someone will hand your order through your car window. It’s as simple as that!
PLEASE PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THESE PICK-UP DIRECTIONS.
You will ENTER on E Main Street between Newsom’s and City Hall and EXIT on E Market Street in front of Franklin Street Apartments.
ONSITE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
Regular onsite market days are Thursdays from 4-6 and Saturdays from 8-12.

Champaign, OH: Shambala
Everyone is helpful, everyone is kind
On the road to Shambala…
(Three Dog Night)
Hoping that you find out market, just this way…helpful, kind, and well, musically fun…
I am off, this week, and heading to the airport, today, to pick up my lovely daughter, and spend a few days before she goes to Columbus for all things engagement pictures, asking her attendants to be in the wedding, and finally getting to celebrate with all of them, since she got engaged, the week before the pandemic hit.
I will miss you all, terribly, and I will miss baking for you! But, you will be able to order, again, when the market reopens on Thursday eve!
I’m going to help get everything set up in the greenhouse, and then turn things over to your other market manager, my dad, and our other helper who usually helps to get your plants all rounded up!
Please be patient, and kind, as you always are. My dad will be bringing your boxes to your cars. I will give you the breakdown of your time slots, and PLEASE REMEMBER…you will need to come up 68, to Powell Ave, and make a right on 54 to the farm!!!
The market will be closing, this evening, at 8pm…
Ok….I love you all to the moon and back!!
How does your light shine, in the halls of Shambala…
Turn this song up…you are guaranteed a good mood!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
