Champaign, OH: All You Need Is Love
All you need is love, all together now
All you need is love, everybody
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
(Beatles – All You Need Is Love)
Such a simple thought, requiring such simple actions…love really is all that is needed to make it all better, turn it all around, put a smile on someone’s face.
Kindness, a hug, a hand, a thoughtful word…it makes the day a bit brighter and people a bit happier.
I am all about showing the love, making everyone happy, working my magic…I love to see the smile on people’s faces, I love to know that perhaps I spread a bit of sunshine, in someone’s day, to make it just a bit better…
And, all the market needs is just a little more love in this last hour that we are open! It’s a strong market and we are staying open just so you can feel the weekly love!
We look forward to your orders, we look forward to sharing the market love fest!
You have an hour…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Wilderness Family Naturals Group Order
This weekend we will be taking orders for organic pantry items from Wilderness Family Naturals. These items include healthy oils, nuts, spices, cacao, grains, rice, coconut products, natural sweeteners and skin care products. We will also take orders for bulk Organic Raw, Soaked & Dried Mixed Nuts.
Case Pricing for Organic Raw, Soaked & Dried Mixed Nuts
In order to get a reduced price on the mixed nuts we need to order 25lbs as a group. Includes the following Raw, Certified Organic, Soaked and Dried Nuts: Pecans, Almonds, Walnuts, and Cashews.
These certified organic nuts have been soaked as Sally Fallon and the Weston A. Price Foundation suggests, and then dehydrated at low temperatures.
Wilderness Family Naturals does their best to procure the highest quality raw materials available. They then soak and dry these nuts and seeds under controlled conditions with commercial equipment in a USDA inspected kitchen. Every batch undergoes testing to insure consistent quality. These organic nuts and seeds are fresh, flavorful and delicious. Extra measures are taken, such as refrigeration and vapor barrier packaging to insure customers receive a premier product.
All prices on the website include discounted bulk pricing, taxes, fees and shipping.
THIS ORDER WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO PICK UP THIS TUESDAY
This is a pre-paid pre-order. Payment is expected by this Tuesday. I will send out an prior to pick up when it is available. Due to shipping it can take up to 2 weeks before you can pick up.

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Reminder!
Summer squash season is finally in full swing, and if you’re anything like me, you’re already wondering what to do with it all. Luckily, the internet is packed with recipes ranging from beautifully simple, to wonderfully exotic, to satisfyingly hearty. Whether you order classic yellow squash from Barnhill Orchard, Certified Organic zucchini from Green Acres Atkins, or adorable baby patty pan squash from Hardin Farms (welcome back, y’all!), the possibilities are endless.
Unfortunately, no matter how many ways there are to cook it, man cannot live on squash alone. So take advantage of this not-quite-blistering-hot weather and fire up the grill! Ratchford Farm has a new selection of bratwursts sure to please your pallet. In addition to the quintessential beef bratwurst and flavor packed jalapeño cheddar buffalo brats, you can now choose Italian, German, Polish, or chorizo brats. Try a new flavor each week, or order them all and host a taste at your next backyard barbecue.
While you’ve got the grill going anyway, consider tackling the tastiest side dish known to mankind: grilled corn on the cob! That’s right, Barnhill Orchard wins the blue ribbon for having fresh, ripe, peaches and cream corn on the cob earlier than anyone else. Brown thumbed as I am, I’m always surprised at the early and looong harvests this family farm can coax out of their land.
If you want dibs on all of this great fresh food, make sure to take another look at The Market and order before it closes tomorrow morning. Then, make plans to come see us at The Green Corner Store this Saturday. We’ll be there from 3-5pm, celebrating the newest edition of FRESH. We hope to see you there, but for anyone not able to join in the festivities, we’ll still have plenty of copies available at Food Club.

Fox Farm will be partnering with Dogwood Farm at TODAY’S Meet the Grower. Dogwood Farm will be providing the sandwich rounds for the pulled pork barbecue featured by Fox Farm who will be showcasing one way its pork can be prepared by offering pulled pork barbecue with a choice of homemade honey cranberry barbecue sauce or homemade Fox Farm barbecue sauce.
