Take me to the Market.

Joyful Noise Acres Farm:  The on-line market is open for ordering.

Good Morning and Happy Friday.
Isn’t it nice to be able to shop from the comfort of your home? I hope you enjoy the offerings this week.
Four Mile Farm is taking 8 lambs to the processor so there will be more lamb offerings on the market, Cedar Rock Dairy currently has ground lamb, organ meats and loin chops available as well as leg of lamb. If you don’t see it listed on the market, e-mail me and we can hopefully, get what you are looking for.
As another holiday approaches, we have a lovely selection of gift ideas from gift certificates to gift boxes to cookie bouquets. Give the gift of clean living to someone you love. (Secret, you don’t have to wait for a holiday)
If you have not tried the Zesty Italian Sausage from Joyful Noise Acres Farm, give it a try. It made a great soup:
1 lb. browned Italian sausage
1 large can diced tomatoes
3 cloves, minced garlic
2 cups cooked garbanzo beans
8 stems and leaves Swiss Chard, chopped
Pepper to taste.
Once the sausage is browned, sauté in the garlic to release the flavor. Add remaining ingredients and let simmer about 15 minutes. Easy and delicious. Add other vegetables as desired.
A new shipment of butter arrived Wednesday. We have unsalted and salted and it is the best yet. Don’t forget to pick up a tub on Wednesday.
Blessings,
Mary Beth

Champaign, OH:  Lost In My Mind

Momma once told me…
You’re already home where you feel love…
I am lost in my mind…
I get lost in my mind…
(The Head And The Heart – Lost In My Mind)

Do you feel the love? Do you feel like our little local market of love is like being home, going home, feeling at home?

I learned, a very long time ago, that home is wherever you feel the love. Family, friends, a place, a time…If it brings love to your heart, well, then you ARE home.

I get to see so much, on so many levels, at this market. I see my own work, I see the work of my hard working assistants, Mark and Charlene. The hard work of each vendor, in this market. The love and the care that they each put into their work, their products, their customer base. The dedicated hours that the YMCA gives us. And, the work of you, our customers, of this little local market of love. Without you, where would the love be?

Each week, I watch as friendships happen, as trust between vendors and customers, builds. As trust in this market continues to go, full steam ahead. I get to chat at the market, greet vendors and customers, share tidbits of conversation, answer questions, and hopefully bring a bit of sunshine and song to everyone I happen to come into contact with, each week.

Thank you, to each customer, vendor, assistant manager, YMCA staff, for making this market feel like home, each week.

Each of you is very important….I thank you, I love you, and I love that together, we build this little market that has become our home…

The song that I used, tonight, is so very beautiful…seek it out, listen to it…fill your heart…

The market is now open for the week. It was nice to see old customers, this week. It was nice to welcome new customers. It was amazing to share the love…

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
