Just A Little More Time!

Just a note that I am leaving the market open until 11pm! The site has had maintenance issues, all day, so I want to give everyone a last chance to order!

Thanks for your patience!

Cherry Baby

I’ve been trying for a long, long time…
Just to capture you inside a rhyme…
How to keep you here inside with me…
Till they say that I can be set free…
Oh, don’t you know…
I’m never gonna ever let you go…
Cause you’re so sweet…
I’ve got to have you Cherry…
Mmmmm, Cherry baby…
(Cherry Baby-Starz)

Well, last week we had to say goodbye to Steven of The Berry Patch, and his amazing strawberries…

But, don’t be sad, no need to cry, because tonight, live and in person, in the lobby of the YMCA, at order pick up, we have the return of our favorite little duo…The Herrs of Herr Family Farm!!

And, by the song lyrics, today, you just KNOW I am going to tell you that they will have their fresh sweet cherries!!

They will be selling off of their own table, so bring extra cash with you!! The cherries are so good!! They sold like crazy at Tuesday’s Mechanicsburg Rustic Roadside Farmers’ Market, and now, for a limited, exclusive event, they will make an appearance at our little local market of love…

Even if you didn’t place an order, make sure to stop and get your sweet cherries, baby!

Also…I am off to dance and play, tonight, so your other manager, Mark, will be running the show!!

Much love!!

Peace, Love, Grooviness…

Tuesday Thoughts!

Your market manager has had a crazy busy weekend, and now week. One of those weeks that leaves you wondering if it’s Tuesday or already Friday!

One of those weeks where I need to be here, when I need to be there. I need to finish this, before I finish that. I need to pass GO another fifty times.

Yes…..it’s officially that crazy time of summer.

So, to calm myself, I am pouring wine, putting on some music, lighting candles, making dinner, and leisurely placing my weekly market order!

Doesn’t that sound perfect? A bit of time to and you whole, again.

And, as I am passing on this zen attitude, don’t forget it’s Father’s Day!! Make sure to order farm fresh foods for serving on dad’s special day, or pick gifts of food love from our market!

Everyone….deep breath, exhale, soft music, and mellow thoughts….of this little local market of love.

Give love, feel love, be love….

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

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…
