Tullahoma Locally Grown:  Kefir and cherry tomatoes


Hi guys,
I’ve added free kefir grains to anyone who has been interested in trying to make this delicious cultured milk product. Similar to yogurt but yogurt only has 2-5 stains of beneficial bacteria whereas kefir has 30 beneficial strains of bacteria and yeast which aggressively colonize the gut by destroying pathogens. Kefir is also incredibly easier to make than yogurt. Order your grains or give me an email if you have questions!

Also Wayne Diller has added cherry tomatoes, get them before the frost does!

See ya thursday

Champaign, OH:  Regroup, Recharge, Plan


Well, your market manager is bouncing back from a crazy, fast paced, bake-a-rama, kind of summer season!!

I spent the past two days out in my yard dealing with some much needed TLC to my plants, herbs, weeds…I sort of just closed my eyes to the whole ordeal, all summer, as I would speed out of my drive to venues, markets, festivals, and my shop.

Sunday morning, I put myself out of contact with most people. I let myself soak up the sun, listen to Grateful Dead tunes, pull weeds, pick up sticks, become one with myself and my tasks.

I am such a social person, such a high energy person, such an ON person, that when I begin craving the quiet, the peace, the sun, my inner thoughts, I know I have hit that Cosmic wall.

I think it is important for our souls to drop out, tune out, at times. I was very selective on who’s phone call or texts I took. I answered no emails. I had no friends over. I made no attempt to contact my friends. The recharge had taken over in order for me to regroup, and then yes, start the plan for this next part of Cosmic Charlie.

I have a year anniversary coming up in my Cosmic shop, I just celebrated 5 years at The Depot Coffeehouse, 3 years out at Mad River Market, 3 years at this little lovely market. I love looking back at old notes, old baking lists, old market lists. It lets me smile, it lets me laugh, it lets me see just how far you can go with never ending determination. But, you also need the little pockets of time to recharge, regroup, plan, so that you CAN continue to move forward.

Why not make that your goal, this week. Let us worry about getting all of our local needs out of the way. Go ahead. The market closes at 10pm, tonight. Order today, close the book on that, begin your recharge, regroup, plan. We will see you on Thursday, with orders ready to roll, when you are ready to come back to reality!

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Market News

Hello!

There is still time to place an order this week. There is a great selection of veggies – lettuces, greens of all kinds, tomatoes still! and other wonderful items. This time of year is as bountiful as any other, and has even more variety than the summer months do, so please take advantage of all there is to offer!

The Fall flowers are so beautiful and colorful right now – enjoy them while you can! In a few weeks we will have a frost, and the fresh, local flowers will be gone until spring! The marigolds are booming, as well as the colorful zinnias! Also festive broom corn for your autumn decorating!

Dozen Bakery has up their special Fall treat of cranberry pumpkin bread. Not too sweet and so delicious!

Once again, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee

Champaign, OH:  Dandelion


Dandelion don’t tell no lies…
Dandelion will make you wise…
Tell me if she laughs or cries…
Blow away dandelion, blow away.. dandelion
(Rolling Stones – Dandelion Lyrics)

It’s no secret…in my growing up, I lived for music from The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, The Doors, The Beatles…for one, they were amazing bands!! Second, they all sported the girls, the muses, the band aids, the groupies. Marianne, Anita, Pattie, Pamela, Donna…each band had the iconic girls! Free spirited, fun, well dressed, all part of the rock tapestry that made up the backdrop of those times.

I was/am a huge Stones fan. I have every single album ever put out by The Stones, down in my album collection. The music, the clothes, the girls, the life.

You may ask yourself, what is Cosmic Pam talking about? Where is she taking us, now? Dare we ask?

Love. Fabrics. Rich tapestry. Bands sticking together. Free. Talented. Going where no band had gone before.

And, yes…the same can be said of this little market of love. We share the love, our rich local fabric makes us strong, makes us proud, as we showcase the talents and hard work of our local producers and growers, each and every week. We go where no other local farmer’s market has gone. We are open all year, we offer the best of the best, we offer one stop shopping, we offer prices way below mass produced stores, we offer healthy, we offer nutrition, we are eclectic, we all offer a colorful story…and the market is headed up by yours truly…your brightly dressed, hippie clad, full of love girl that fronts the goodness.

Tonight is Monday…dust off some old tunes, give them a spin, let your mind drift, and sit and read through the colorful tapestry of our market. Order, relax, disengage, make the scene…we are here to take your orders, make it all happen, and greet you on Thursday, with a full bag of tricks for you to take home.

Let us sing to you…let us help you groove the week…

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
