Champaign, OH: Feelin' Groovy
Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy…
(Simon&Garfunkel-59th Street Bridge Song)
Why not take it easy on this beautiful Saturday morning, and look at all of the products on our market, and then place your orders!!
Each week, we add more and more produce, vendors, and products…check us out!!
This past Thursday was extra fun at market pick up, because we actually had a micro market within our market, in the lobby of the YMCA.
It was fun to have vendors connect with customers, who usually do not get that opportunity to do this!!
Go ahead…get groovy, and give us a try…
XOXO,

Miami County Locally Grown: What does it mean to offer FRESH produce?
Two comments this week sure surprised me…
I had someone ask me if the market sold FRESH produce… and I would argue, unless you were picking it from your own backyard, you’re not going to find FRESHER produce than what we harvest for you THE DAY you pick-up your order!
Then, while giving a presentation to a small group of women, the observation was made how tasteless grocery store tomatoes were compared to heirloom tomatoes they were eating for the first time.
They were astounded when I remarked how far those grocery store tomatoes had to travel, and how early they must be picked to handle mechanized harvesting, hundreds if not thousands of miles in transit, weeks of sitting waiting to be purchased…
It’s a wonder such produce could have any taste at all!
Talking to those women made me appreciate our growers and customers that much more -
here was a group of women, from my age to my mother’s, who had never considered how far their food had to travel, or what it meant to be truly FRESH.
We’re ready to custom-harvest and bake just for you! But only til Sunday at 8pm :-)

PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30pm!
Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This online farmers market allows you to buy directly from multiple farms committed to chemical-free and local produce all year long! CHEMICAL-FREE means produce and pastures grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides. LOCAL means within 80 miles from the market pickup locations (usually much much closer). Do you know someone who grows chemical-free food in the area? Get them in touch with us. Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!

Champaign, OH: I Wasn't Born To Follow
I will want to dive beneath the white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic
And mention all the things I’ll lose
That really have no value in the end she will surely know
I wasn’t born to follow…
(The Byrds…I Wasn’t Born To Follow)
I love this song, and, tonight, finds me with loads of old tunes, a glass of wine, listening to more storms blowing in, and thanking my lucky stars that I wasn’t born to follow. Anything. Anywhere.
I know it’s no big surprise that I do things on my own terms, pave my own way, go the extra mile, all on my own. If something is the main stream, I will go less main stream. If the crowd is all doing it, chances are, I groove one my own.
Much like this little market…it’s always just grooved on it’s own. Basked in it’s own little success story, paved it’s own way, and usually stayed away from the mainstream.
We love our market, we love our vendors, and we love that you allow us, each week, to bring you all that we have to offer.
Like our market, our customers tend to not follow…they come back, because they are free flowing thinkers, always giving us the opportunity to take them in all different directions…
We are opening, once again, for the week!! Take a bit of a detour from your usual path, and be the one that doesn’t follow the masses. Follow a new groove, and give us a try…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
