Joker

Cause’ I’m a picker…
I’m a grinner…
I’m a lover…
And I’m a sinner…
Playin’ my music in the sun…
(Joker-Steve Miller Band)

I woke up, this morning, with summer days on my brain, humming this song, and looking forward to this season of open air markets, festivals, events, and of course soaking in the sun, the fun, and the summer evenings…

This song used to always signal summer fun, to me, when I was growing up. It was playing in my head, this morning, and it made me smile as I began to think about this little local market of love…

At this market, we like the ease, the love, the goodness of all that our local summers have to offer. We are cruisin’ into the produce with each passing week, there is a certain liveliness, lightness, loveliness that only the summer months bring to us, that no other season can duplicate.

Let our market add to your own lightness of the season. Do your shopping with us, ease up your time spent in the big box stores, feel good knowing that you can trust your food, and show your own local community some love but purchasing with us…

This little local market is no joke…we want to show you a real good time…

Today is Monday, and you have until tomorrow evening to get your orders placed…

Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Rivers and Roads

Been talking about the way things change…
Rivers and roads, rivers til I reach you…
(Rivers and Roads-The Head and the Heart)

Maybe one of the most beautiful songs, to me. In my head, it speaks to me about growing up, growing apart, growing back together, and all the stuff that happens to lead you back to the ones who knew you when, knew you best, knew you before you knew you.

Since my music festival weekend, with both an old friend, and a best friend who hasn’t known me as long, but feels like our friendship has spanned time, it has made me think about my past, my now, my future.

I like to say that I am nothing without my tribe, my people, my soul mates, my circle. And, it’s true. My life lessons, experiences, and journeys, have all been because of the people who have been with me, along the way.

Much like this little local market of love. We have watched it grow, we have helped it along, we have watched it mature, and we have loved it, each and every step.

Today, I was back at it, handing out orders for order pick up day. Customers were coming and going, and letting me know how much I had been missed, last week. Asked about my festival. Were excited to hear my tales.

It’s this kind of growing together that makes people strong, bonds grow, and it’s all of this, that makes up this wacky little market that we all love to support. A big blend of a family, of familiar friends, of a trusted market.

Rivers and roads…it’s the kind of stuff that gives us roots, let’s us fly, and then let’s us all land, once again, right where our circle, our tribe, our people are all waiting…

I am opening the market for another week! We welcome you, we encourage you to grow with us, and we love you for supporting us…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Uncle John's Band

It’s the same story that the crow told me
It’s the only one he knows…
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go…
Ain’t no time to hate… barely time to wait…
Oh oh-all I want to know is where does the time go…
(Uncle John’s Band-Grateful Dead)

Good morning, little local market of love customers!! It’s Tuesday, it’s the last day of May, AND, it’s the last day of the market for ordering, for this week!!

Your market manager is back after a very much needed long weekend, away, at a Grateful Deadesque music festival! It’s tradition, for me, to pack up, each Memorial Day weekend, hit the road, meet up with my best pals, set up camp, and just let the music guide us for 3 days. It always recharges my soul, it fills me with love and friendship, and it puts me back in touch with me.

After I return, I am always ready to greet my crazy paced life, once again, and show everyone the love!

Just like the lyric, I posted, the holiday weekends always throw us off, a bit. On the drive home, yesterday, my friend and I were going through our usual recap of the weekend, and I muttered, where does the time go?

So, with a song in my head, love in my heart, and a bit of a wild soul, I am dancing into this new week, and groovin’ into the market to place my own order. Won’t you come with me?

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Going Up The Country

I’m goin’ up the country, baby don’t you want to go?
I’m goin’ up the country, baby don’t you want to go?
I’m goin’ to some place where I’ve never been before…
(Going Up The Country-Canned Heat)

It’s that time of year…it’s music festival time, and you know how excited that makes your market manager! Time to cue up the 60s tunes, baby, because I blow out of town, this Thursday, for the beloved Jubilee Festival that I attend, each year!

I work hard, each and every day, and I work even harder, on this week, each year, JUST so I can hit the open road with my trusty gang of pals…destination, the gates of Maggie’s Farm…a weekend of Grateful Dead music, dancing, camping, forgetting everything, leaving it all behind.

It’s the weekend that revives me, reunites me with the people who love me, and rekindles my love of just being…just nothing, where my biggest decision is which stage I want to migrate to for which band. What cocktail I may want. What tapestry to hang in each spot of our tapestry lounge.

The gates of the Jubilee, and Maggie’s Farm are like going home, going up the country. The long lane is a welcoming feeling. The festival greeters welcome you to a weekend world of hippies, love, and brotherhood/sisterhood. It’s just groovy, man…

So, much like my beloved Maggie’s Farm experience, this market holds the same welcoming, love, and grooviness for us all.

I hope that I am able to bring that to our market as your manager. The love fest that I want out of life. The kindness, goodness, and local love.

This week, let this market help you go up country. Let it be your love fest. We have so much to love, right now!

We have seasonal goodness! Greens, lettuce, herbs, early garlic, STRAWBERRIES!!! We’ve got it all, arriving weekly!!!

And…you ain’t seen nothin’ yet…(to borrow another song implant).

So, let’s let our minds take us away, via this market. Create your own lovely getaway by placing your orders!

It’s the perfect release from reality…

Peace, Love, Grooviness…
