Take me to the Market.
Joyful Noise Acres Farm: The on lie market is open for ordering.
Good morning,
We are glad to have Georgia Farm to Table back on the market this week. The Savoy cabbage alone has me ordering a box plus extra cabbage. That is one of my favorite cabbages for stir frying and it makes a very tasty slaw.
The Lollie and Pop shop makes the most amazing vanilla using organic vanilla beans and bourbon. The beans soak for 6 months before being bottled. This is some of the best vanilla I have had and adds a wonderful depth of flavor to anything you are preparing. A splash in a cup of hot chocolate is a lovely treat.
The hens have been increasing their laying so we will have plenty of eggs this week. Thankfully Living Free Farm and Rocky Acres Farm have stepped up to help us meet egg demand so you should find plenty of eggs for your needs this week.
Blessings to all and see you Wednesday.

Carolina Foothills, SC: Market Will Be Open Today at 4
Hello all,
I hope Turkey Day found you all well. For those wondering, it was confirmed Parvo and I am thrilled to report that Panda recovered 100%.
Again, heaven knows I don’t wish this on anyone but should you find yourself in the same boat and don’t agree with pumping an already seriously I’ll dog with chemicals, my friend stumbled accross a solution completely herbal that worked like a charm. True, she lost 3 dogs but we believe there were other issues involved.
1 past before she rerealized what was happening and the other 2 she wormed first. The others who ONLY got the solution All recovered.
Anyway, back to business…..
Come in, look around and buy, buy, buy. We have another holiday right around the corner so stock up now. It looks like the cold weather has finally found us and it will be getting chilly next week….. I don’t know about you but hot chocolate sounds wonderful.
Have a safe and happy weekend.
Susan.

Champaign, OH: Stand Back
Stand back, stand back…(Stand Back-Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac)
Happy Thursday, and welcome back to another amazing week of a market opening!! It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, Thanksgiving came and went, and then your lovely little market of love was front and center, last night, as Cosmic Charlie and Oakview Farm Meats debuted their very popular slider sandwiches as part of the food service at the annual Monument Square District Holiday Gala! But, not only did we enter into a new ring, we took the market with us!! We promoted, we had product, we had local vendors with us both as guests, as local celeb bartenders, as servers. Charlene put together an amazing gift basket of Locally Grown products! We sparkled, we dazzled, and we made great strides in putting this market up on a new level.
It was exciting to combine both of my worlds…the downtown Monument Square District and this market!! It was the perfect night, with the perfect food, with the perfect combination of local. We were out, in full force, and I couldn’t have been more proud.
Stand Back…we have only just taken our next steps!!!
It is Thursday, I open the market for you, and I look forward to seeing each of you, next week, at order pickup!!
Stand Back…let’s rock this week!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Group Order : Grass Fed Cheese
Group Order for Grass-fed Cheese This Weekend
This weekend we will be taking orders for grass-fed cheese from Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese and Jason Wiebe Dairy.
Low Temp Pasteurized and Raw Milk Cheeses will be available.
I’ve asked the cheese makers to put “(Raw Milk Cheese)” in the title if it is raw cheese aged 60 days according to FDA regulation. All other cheeses are low temp pasteurized.
Raw milk cheese that is listed on the market is safe for human consumption and is aged at least 60 days per FDA regulation.
Prices and available sizes will be on the market website tomorrow for ordering. The pricing will include shipping and taxes/fees.
The cheese will NOT be available for pick up this Tuesday. Please allow at least 2 weeks. I will email you when it is available for pick up.
- Cows Raised without synthetic hormones
- Cows are grass-fed and raised on pasture
- Old World, Handmade Cheese making Techniques
- Cheeses made with non-homogenized low temp pasteurized or raw milk and aged at least 60 days to comply with the USDA regulations for raw milk cheese production
- Vegetable-based rennet, to make it more acceptable to vegetarians
- Cheeses that are not considered raw are pasteurized at the lowest legal temperature for 15 seconds
See Kenny’s and Jason’s website for more detailed information about their process: http://www.kennysfarmhousecheese.com/

Benefits of Grass-Fed Cheese
- One of the few foods that contains a perfect balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats, a ratio ideal for your health
- Very high in CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) In fact, it contains five times more CLA than dairy from grain-fed cows! CLA, which are most abundant in grass-fed products, are among the most potent cancer fighters in all foods.
- Considerably higher in beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E than cheese and other dairy from grain-fed sources
- High in the healthy calcium and protein your body needs
- Free from growth hormones and antibiotics
Upcoming Group Buys
Below is a list of upcoming co-op group buys to help with planning and budgeting. All dates are subject to change.
