Over The Hills and Far Away

Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold…
(Over The Hills and Far Away- Led Zeppelin)

One of my favorite places, at my house, is the top of my driveway. I have a huge hill to my driveway, and I love to spend time at the top of it. My favorite times are early morning, or late at night, gazing at the moon and stars.

When I am up on the hill, I can turn to one direction, and see nothing but trees and fields all spreading out, expanding to places beyond what I can see up on that hill.

I have used that hill to plan, to dream, to cry, to smile, to take in the beauty that is all around me. I love to see how far my gaze can reach. How much I can take in. The vastness of my gaze, coexists with the vastness of my dreams. Those that have come true, those that still have yet to totally awaken in my soul.

I was out on that hill, this morning, taking in the golden sunshine, noting how the shadows are already giving way to late summer shadows versus the early summer shadows. I used to have a friend who watched the seasonal shadows, and would gauge the days, the moments, the time on the shift in the shadows.

This morning, as I was gazing out, I was also thinking about what a hot, dry summer this has been. How the growing season was stunted, almost too slow to the start. How we are just now seeing a whole lot of any kind of love from gardens and fields. I have learned patience, I have learned hopefulness, I have learned excitement from the times of growth. When it’s right, when it’s time, and then the beauty presents, itself. Just like up on my hill, and me with my dreams…the time must always be right.

This little local market of love follows those same dreams, gazes, timing…we are a small little market, right now, until our producers are able to bring us enough, to fill orders. We sit, we are patient, and we believe that when the time is right, we will experience the excitement!

We do have a wide variety of products to take advantage of while we watch for produce. Please get to know our market, or fall in love with it, again…

We are your hill…the one that you build on…Give us a try…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Thank you for being the best little local market around!

Thank you, the vendors, the customers, the staff of the YMCA, for making our ribbon cutting so special!

The love that I felt from each of you, tonight, spoke volumes…

Just Peachy!!

For your market pleasure, we will have another visit from Herr Family Farms!!

They will be set up in the lobby with their most amazing crop of peaches!! They have been bringing them to the Mechanicsburg market, and I have been living on them…so good!!!

Their peaches are also featured, this month, with Hippie and the Farmer!!

Bring a bit of extra cash, tonight, AND, you don’t have to be a customer of orders, tonight. Anyone can rush in to grab up the sweetness!!

Show them some peachy kind of love…

Ribbons, Ribbons, Ribbons

Annie laid her head down in the roses…
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons
in her long brown hair…
I don’t know, it must have been the roses…
All I know is I could not leave her there…
(It Must Have Been The Roses-Grateful Dead)

Ribbons…they make the world go round, they are in the best song lyrics, they are the most colorful parts of a music festival. They flow, they are free, they are any color of the rainbow, they are happiness…

And, today, is a ribbon day for your two market managers!!

Myself, and Mark, are cutting the ribbon to our business, Hippie and the Farmer, with our local Champaign County Chamber!! If you find yourself with a bit of free time, between 4pm-6pm, this evening, come out to help us celebrate!!

The Hippie and the Farmer fully licensed, commercial kitchen is located out on St. Rt. 54 at Oakview Farm Meats! See our private Hippie and the Farmer kitchen, grab some Hippie and the Farmer food, mix and mingle, and join us in one of our gardens for our ribbon cutting!!

With that being said…we have a very special volunteer working our market!! He will be handing out vendor checks, and then handing out customer orders!! Be nice to Doug, help him out, if necessary, and don’t forget to be patient…we will be back, next week!!

Ribbons…they are everything!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Closing Time

Go, order, thank me, always…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Summertime Blues

Well, there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues…
(Summertime Blues-The Who)

Actually, we DO have a cure for the summertime blues, the summertime heat, the summertime haze of wanting to do next to nothing, especially hitting the crowded big box stores for food shopping.

We have all of the options that you need for a summer week of laziness…things for grilling, snacking, spicing up, items to add to your meal plans, the goods if you choose to fire up your own ovens for baking…we’ve got so much of what you need to get you through these hazy days of summer.

I would love to see all of you, once again!! During the summer months, this little market seems to take a bit of a snooze while everyone is out having fun, going on vacations, and generally just putting the real world on hold.

Come back to us…come love us…come tell us all about your summer fun!!

I am finally done with my main summer event, Art Affair On The Square, so now I am back to become your Weblog nightmare…just kidding!! But, I am back, fully recharged, all hands on deck, ready to rock and roll the rest of this summer.

The market is open until 10pm, this evening!!

We do have vendors are vacation, and we do have crops slowly coming, due to the this whole no rain in Mother Nature’s plan, this season.

But, we DO have so much, and we WOULD love to see you!!

And…if you shop the market, pick up your order, and want to come help me celebrate my other business venture that I am involved with, along with your other market manager, Mark, from Oakview Farm Meats, you can leave the YMCA and head out to our ribbon cutting/open house/after hours bash for our combined venture…Hippie and the Farmer!! Still Cosmic, still Oakview, and together, we make up, Hippie and the Farmer!!

4:30-6:30…

Thank you, as always, for being part of this little local market of love…we love you for loving us!!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
