Champaign, OH: Opening Night!
Well, just opening of the market, tonight…but still, always a big event of the week!! I get so excited, each Thursday, after we close out the market pick up, and then I write your opening market Weblog…the excitement never leaves!!
Anyway, this is serving as a heads up about the market, tonight…
We bring you a new vendor but he has vended for me and the Mechanicsburg Farmers and Artisans market for years!! He won’t be around for long and this is why I want you to be aware…
He is Brad Gregg, he comes from Gregg Farms and he brings you his AMAZING sweet corn!!!! He sells out of his truckloads, each Tuesday night, up in the ’burg, and he took me up on my offer to have his corn, here, for sale!!
You don’t want to miss this because sweet corn season goes by so quickly!!!
Thanks so much for always supporting our hardworking farmers, growers, producers, here in our little local market of love…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
Champaign, OH: Star Status!!
Good morning!! I am sending this morning Weblog to make a very special announcement and to give huge snaps to our lovely farm family of End Of The Road Farms!! It is now their time to SHINE!!
If you have met them or gone on their farm tour, you know what a unique, special, hard working, family of love that they have going on out in Fletcher.
You know that their products are superior on our market!! I, as a baker, now exclusively use only their spelt flour for some of my specialty breads.
Last night, when I came in from a day in the Cosmic shop, I sat down to check my emails while enjoying a glass of wine. I received the most lovely updates from Lee and Jennifer from End Of The Road…here is what they sent me and I got teary eyed for them!!
Let’s all give them the snaps and applause that they deserve…
Congratulations! Your farm is now featured on the Certified Naturally Grown home page.

New Field Farm's Online Market: Purple potatoes, onions and more
Greetings,
The site seems to be having a problem sending this email so I’m trying a third time. My apologies if you’re getting this multiple times.
We’re adding a number of veggies this week; Purple Majesty potatoes, Ailsa Craig onions, Tropea onions, Juliet tomatoes, and green beans.
Blueberries are still plentiful, but slowing down. This will probably be the last week we offer them online, though u-pick may continue next week.
The second planting of cucumbers has begun to bear fruit so we should have those again.
Squash is in a slowdown, but we’ll hope to provide.
The eggplant didn’t size up enough to offer this
week.
The first planting of golden beets is about over, but we’ll see what we can find for those who want some.
I estimated the number of cherry tomatoes so if they’re sold out and you want some you can ask in the comment section and we’ll provide if we can.
The price for tomatoes is now $3.50/lb.
I think that’s it. I hope you’re enjoying the harvest and thank you for your orders.
