Champaign, OH:  Wake Up!


It’s your Wednesday calling…

So, once again we watch a blissful holiday weekend just float on by. I hope you were able to spend it exactly the way you wanted or needed.

And, if you are like me, you are now one day behind, thinking it’s a Tuesday on a Wednesday.

I know you were busy, and not thinking about ordering, or this market, but the good news is that you still have until 8am, this morning, to groove it all together.

We understand that holidays and holiday weekends take a toll on our thought process. That is why we want you to know that we are here, and we can help ease you into the weekend. Which is coming up, already, again…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Miami County Locally Grown:  Use Local Sweeteners for Canning!


Whether you turn to honey, maple syrup, or sorghum, don’t ruin the fruit you’re canning with unhealthy white sugar!!

Making a simple syrup is truly easy, and oh so delicious – peaches in honey syrup, apples in maple syrup, pears in sorghum syrup – we’ve tried several different combos, with tasty results!

Best part? You can cut the amount of sweetener called for in most recipes by at least half – sometimes using only 1/4 or 1/8th of the sugar called for! Quarts of peaches I use for cobblers mid-winter only took 1 cup of sweetener for 8 cups of water – not only did I save money and support our local producers, but the sweeteners enhanced the flavor of the fruit, instead of masking it.

These sugar substitutes are healthy, local, and so versatile you’ll be like me, wondering why you ever bothered to use sugar in the past!

Be sure to check out our new and sale products this week, as well as returning seasonal favorites!

More CHEESES – Cheddar and Gruyere!

More PRODUCE – Beets, Leeks, Salad mixes, and Fennel!

More BAKED GOODS – Pumpkin Muffins, Apple Honey Muffins, Sugar Cookies and Snickerdoodles!
