It's Wednesday!!

Do you know where your market orders are?

It’s early, it’s another day of cold, and we know that we are all coming off of the food haze of Thanksgiving, the crazy Black Friday shopping, the Shop Small Saturday frenzy, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday…plus, we have been battling cold, wind, rain, ice, snow…we’ve been doing it all, out there!

How about if we make this last hour in the market…What About Wednesday?

No big box shopping holiday, so why not make it the crazy hour of Wednesday ordering?

I’m off to get my orders in…will you be joining me?

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Easing In On A Sunday...

Have you recovered from the holiday loveliness? Did you have a blissful day, followed by a whirlwind weekend, after a whirlwind week of prepping for all things, Thanksgiving?

I hope that you are able to take today, and have a bit of downtime, just to regroup, before your week comes storming in, tomorrow.

If you find time to sit and reflect on what you may need for the week, and how we can help take the stress out of your week, while putting our own local love into your life, get your orders in for the week…

We are here to make you life a bit easier, while fueling you with the our local brand of grooviness…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Hello!!

From your friends at your little local market of love, to you…we hope that you had a very amazing Thanksgiving holiday!!

We are now, back open, live and in action!! You may begin ordering, pronto, for next Thursday’s pick up!!

I don’t want to wake you, too abruptly, from your turkey happiness, or interrupt you from your Black Friday shopping, but, we are here, ready to help you with your local grooviness!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

A Heartfelt Thank You!!

Good evening…and, also, a dose of love to all customers for being so patient with market pick up, this evening, and for understanding the weather dilemma, and some of the products being delivered/not delivered, due to the messiness of the day!!

And, thank you to all vendors who either were able to make it all happen, or who were honest about how tricky the weather was making their journey!!

Update:

Old Souls Farm: the driver made it, and we were so glad!! He told us about his delivery day to Columbus and Marysville…of the road conditions, the downed power lines on the roads, and his thankfulness to be done for the day!! We totally understood!! And, FYI…your lettuces are in the fridge, and we marked each customers names on them!! Grab them, at any time!!

Kennedy Farms…very iced in, out in the country!! They will be making their delivery at or before noon, tomorrow!! A huge thank you to them, and if they were part of your order, you can grab it at the YMCA, tomorrow!! Look for your name on their products!!

Madison Ling…she will have her cookie dough balls in the fridge!! They were able to get to the Y at 8pm, this evening!!

Once again…thank you for showing so much understanding, tonight. It’s not easy being the manager, and trying to navigate the logistics on a weather day.

And…we will be closed until we reopen, on Thanksgiving night!! And, a reminder…we know that some of you want to grab your orders earlier than the 4:30 start time. While it’s generally ok, somedays may not work because the vendors have until 4:15 to get their things to us. If all products are there, it’s totally cool when you are there at 4pm. But, when we still have vendors coming in, at their appointed time, all products may not yet be there, and that can create frustration on the customer end. We want everyone to be happy!!

Finally…I would like to wish you all a very lovely Thanksgiving holiday. I have much to be thankful for, and I have many thoughts of love going out to everyone. I am getting ready to contribute to a big catering effort, being shipped out to a group of Paradise, CA residents, who have lost everything. I wish I was catering in food, but will be donating money to see that the catering efforts have a bit of my heart in them. Hoping that everyone involved are able to give these displaced residents, a tiny bit of love as they try to make sense of what their next steps are.

In this upcoming season, maybe we could all share a bit of love, wherever we go…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Kennedy Farms Announcement

So, I hope you will not get irritated with the emails, today, but this is the best way to get news to the masses…

I just got a text from Kennedy Farms, and they are out in the country, totally iced in. They will not be making their market delivery until tomorrow!!

I want customers who have their items purchased to be aware, in case you want to adjust your pick up day!!

Today's Market

Customers and vendors!!

Such an icy wake up call, this morning!!

I wrestled, all morning, with the market pick up, for this evening, and just got off the phone with Paul, at the Y.

The market will remain, on schedule, this evening. If, as a customer, you feel that the conditions are not what you want to be out in, this evening, that is totally fine! If we do not see you by 6pm, your orders will be grouped together, and you can pick them up tomorrow, or Saturday.

I don’t want anyone at risk, but decided to try to keep the pick up as normal as possible.

Vendors…if you are having issues with getting product to the market…please call or text me!! I will evaluate what is missing, and I will work with the customer, for a tomorrow pick up time, if needed!!

So sorry…but I want things normal, safe, and flexible, if need be!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Last Call!

Good morning…this is your morning wake up call, your last call, reminding you that you have until 8am, this morning, to get your orders in!

Let us help make your lead in to Thanksgiving, an easy one…

We know you have a choice in where you shop, and we love when you choose your little local market of love…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Sweet Dreams...

…and, don’t forget your orders, before 8am, tomorrow morning…the market is going crazy, and we don’t want you to miss out!!

Remember, there will be no market, next week, with the Thanksgiving holiday!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Ruby Tuesday

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you smile with every new day…
(Ruby Tuesday-The Rolling Stones)

One of my first Stones albums, purchased in a stack of albums, along with a stamped copy of the Beatles White album, all purchased at one of my favorite underground record shops that was located on Court St. in Athens, Ohio, way back in the day.

Anyway…I woke up, thought about it being Tuesday, immediately started singing this song, remembered that the market is only open, today, until tomorrow at 8am, and there you have it…

Go on, Ruby Tuesday…get your orders in…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon

I go out to work on Monday morning
Tuesday I go off to honeymoon
I’ll be back again before it’s time for sunny-down,
I’ll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon
Bicycling on every Wednesday evening
Thursday I go waltzing to the zoo
I come from London Town, I’m just an ordinary guy
Fridays I go painting in the Louvre
I’m bound to be proposing on a Saturday night (there he goes again)
I’ll be lazing on a Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon…
(Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon-Queen)

And, if you are coasting into this sunshine filled, yet cold Sunday morning, afternoon, evening, why not take the time to place your orders for you little local market of love?

Remember…this will be your last market, before the Thanksgiving holiday week!

We want you to be fully stocked with all things from our market!!

I just placed my market order for radishes and turnips to roast for Thanksgiving day, a jam to serve as one of my appetizers, on that day, an order of chorizo to mix up another appetizer…at my Thanksgiving celebration, any and all are welcome to the table. We have had years of all family, years of out of town friends added to the mix, but whatever the case, there is always an abundance of food, beginning with appetizers and Bloody Marys! I set up a wine bar, a spritzer bar, a coffee area, appetizers, a dessert area, and then, of course, beautifully set tables using china passed down by my grandmother, and the food…the food is always assigned, one dish, to each guest, but I am always the appetizer/turkey/Cosmic stuffing/vegetable/garlic potatoes girl…

What are you doing for the holiday? Can we help get you ready?

Let’s do this Thanksgiving, together, all on this lazing Sunday afternoon!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
