Champaign, OH: The Chicken Dance
As you all know, our market has been experiencing a shortage of eggs…
Here is some knowledge for all of us from Ruth Runyan of Oakview Farm Meats…
It’s that time of year! Shorter and cooler fall days signal it’s time for the hens to go on “vacation.”
The hens begin to “molt” meaning they will lose their feathers and grow new ones. While in this process, many will quit or slow down laying eggs, while all their energy goes to the regrowth of feathers and body rebuilding. All chickens molt, but at different rates at different times sooner or later. Egg producers try to plan so this doesn’t happen to all the hens in their flock at the same time.
The hens will be back “on the job” in a few weeks.
Deer Run Farm is still able to provide Oakview with a few dozen, but should be back in full force in a few weeks.
We did add an egg supplier, and hopefully, soon, we will be over run with eggs, again!!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Champaign, OH: Welcome To The Market!
We have a new egg vendor with us!! We can never have too many eggs, and we are a market with a heavy customer base of egg lovers!!
This summer, many of our egg vendors have been faced with a shortage in their egg supply…so, in order to make sure that our customers continue to get their eggs, we welcome…Rocky Ridge Homestead!
Rocky Ridge Homestead is a small, family operated, urban farm. We are currently offering non-certified organically produced eggs. We have a wide variety of happy free range chickens that produce nutrient dense, flavorful eggs. Our hens eat only certified organic feed to supplement their natural foraging. Our goal is to help provide a local source for nutritious, organically and sustainably produced food.
So, eggs, seasonal, about to end, produce, and all of the other amazing local products offered on this market!
Use this weekend to think about what you may need for the week, think about how easy it is to place a market order, and think about how good you will feel by keeping it all local!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Joyful Noise Acres Farm: JNA on-line market is open for ordering.
LOVIN’ the weather! It is just perfect for firing up the grill. Tonight we are grilling spare ribs and okra with sweet potatoes on the side. YUM.
We are blessed to have Georgia Farm to Table on our market. Glenn and Christy were thrown into the clean food delivery business rather unexpectantly but the concept and commitment has paid off. Their goal is to purchase local food from local farmers. They look for Certified Naturally Grown farms and also farms that do not use harsh sprays and chemicals. Each box features fruits and vegetables. Their boxes do keep with the seasonal aspect of growing and eating. Between groing seasons, choices can be limited so they will add produce from South Georgia or Florida to keep the boxes full. It is a good value and also a way to try something you might not otherwise purchase. Also, Christy is wonderful about making substitutions if there is something in the box you just don’t want.
Thank you for supporting your local growers.
Blessings,
Mary Beth
