ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Reminder!


It’s another fantastic week in local food, and Arkansas is overflowing with deliciousness! Make sure to get your order in before The Market closes tomorrow morning at 7:30.

After you’ve ordered one of everything our awesome farmers have to offer, check out another way to show your support. One of our favorite farms, Tammy Sue’s Critters, is looking to expand their herd and they need your help to do it. If you can temporarily spare $5 to help them reach their goal, you’ll be ensuring access to all those great soaps, lotions, lip balms, and body butters for years to come. Check out their Kiva Zip page to find out more.

A Note About Monday Pickup:

Opinions differ when it comes to refrigerating certain types of produce, namely tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic. Whether or not these items are put in the fridge upon delivery is up to the farmer, but it’s up to us to make that call when packing Monday orders. Since the kitchen hovers around 80°F, plastic bags trap even the tiniest bit of moisture and create a perfect incubator for mold. With that in mind, we feel refrigeration is the better option. However, if you prefer some things be left out, just leave a comment on your order and we’re happy to oblige!

Champaign, OH:  All Day and All Of The Night


All day and all of the night…
All day and all of the night time…
All day and all of the night…
(All Day & All Of The Night-The Kinks)

So, you know what’s really jazzy about this little local market of love? You guessed it by the song lyrics of the day….we are open, all day, AND all of the night!!

Instead of a market that is only open for 3 hours, one day a week, we are open, for you, all the time. Except for a 24 hour span of time. I know that the big super stores brag about the same thing but with those stores, you end up with mass produced, lack luster, sub par, shipped in from where the heck? places!

With us, you know our faces, you know our products, you know our stories…so, in the comfort of whatever you are doing, wherever you are in, all day, and all of the night, you’ve really got us. (As you can see, The Kinks, are my baking tunes of choice, this morning, with the implant of song lyrics:) Just for you. And, we do it because we love building our market with you, the most important part of this market!

I can’t tell you how many nights, I wake up with something on my mind, or a new Cosmic idea, or just the fact that I now can exist on little sleep, big mugs of coffee, and some loud tunes…but, what is fun to see, is that there are other insomniacs out there who are ordering all night at our market. I always have my phone, right with me, as I sleep. On the nights I am awake or up late baking into the early morning hours, I hear email alerts of orders coming through. I love knowing that so many people are ordering when the time fits their schedule.

So, remember…not only are we the little LOCAL market of love but we are there for you…all day and all of the night:) We will always leave the light on for you.

Today is Tuesday…the market will close at 10pm, tonight! Get those orders in before we close!! More produce is in, our weekly amazing products are all listed, we have yet another new vendor ready to hit the market, soon!! The fun just never ends!!

Get your groove on…no matter if it’s all day or all of the night…

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

North Country Creamery’s highlighted items include farmers cheese with fresh dill from Rehoboth Homestead, which they describe as “fresh, squeaky cheese curd pressed into wheels then cut into wedges…it melts like mozzarella!” Another summertime favorite is “herbed cheeseville: a cross between cream cheese and sour cream with fresh chives and scallions.
