Saturday Announcement-Old Souls Farm

Good morning, lovely little market customers! Before I run out the door to create and cater an event, today, I wanted to come here with a bit of sad news…

This will be the last week that you will be able to order Old Souls products…pause for crying, because that is what I did when the broke the news to me, right after the holiday break…

Old Souls is shifting gears, going in a different direction with their lettuce, and pulling out of the market, and their other retail outlets like Whole Foods, Dorothy Lane Market, and others down in the south part of the state. They will also cease growing of all lettuces except for their Spring Mix, but their growning, and their focus is only going to be for one client up in the Cleaveland area.

I have reached out to them, and am waiting on an answer, soon, to see if the market can purchase set amounts, each week, with one of the market managers, running out to pick it up, just so we can still have a bit of their product. Fingers crossed.

And, my bright side has to remember that before them, the market had to operate on seasonal lettuce growers, but they have just been such a cool partnership, for six year…and, we will miss them.

So, order up!! Get your greens, your lettuce, your basil…and lets send them off with a whole lot of local love…and tears…lol

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

A New Week!

And, yet, we still need to close out the old week!

The 59th Street Bridge Song

…lookin’ for fun, and feelin’ groovy…
(Simon & Garfunkel)

Happy Thursday evening, lovely little local market customers!!

If you ordered, this past week, and picked up, tonight, thank you for braving those crazy winds and rain!! Once again, just brutal weather!! But, it was fun to see everyone, have a quick chat, and get you on the road to your destinations!

Such a groovy feeling, each week. Greeting you all before you head home, or out, or wherever life takes you. I just love being a part of your day.

You know what else is groovy? Did you notice that I picked a tune, this evening, using the word bridge? Well, plus, I LOVE this song…but, anyway, groovy, bridge…I’m leading up to announcing a brand new collab for the market, with a new vendor, and new product.

This market is long standing in our little community, has built an excellent reputation, and boast a huge, steady, loyal customer base. Groovy!

You know that I am constantly keen to new ideas, new vendors, and even branching out, when needed, to bridge another local community to our little local market, if I feel strongly about the product, vendor, their practices, and if we have a void to fill in the market. A Groovy Bridge!

So, in a new collab with a new community, I reached out to a former customer, who lived in our area for a short time, during the pandemic. Your managers got to know her, her background, and even caught an old documentary about her…she just really stuck with me, even after she moved down to the Athens area. She knew local, and she knew and appreciated what this little market is all about.

So, right before Christmas, I took a chance and reached out to her to see if she was still down in the Athens/Pomeroy area, and she is!! And, she is still with the connection I was trying to connect with. She paired me up with another girl, within their farm/company, and they were SUPER excited to become part of our market!! SUPER GROOVY BRIDGE!

This market needs cheese. Good cheese. Cheese that I trust the farm, the practices, and while they are a bit away from us, we set up a great shipping gig with them. And, if you know the Athens area, you know they are just the coolest when it comes to local, food, and helping to fuel others with the same interests and visions.

So…in this long blog, I am announcing my excitement at adding, Snowville Creamery to the market for their white cheddar cheese, and their white cheddar cheese crisps!! (I am still trying to decide how to get their yogurt on the market) but for now…CHEESE!! And, it is soooo good!!!

Also, Snowville will be doing a write up for you, soon, but just so you know…all of their cheeses are made with only the A2 milk from their cows. That means, it is easier on your digestive system!!

And, your other market manager will also have their cheese and cheese crisps in the retail shop, so you can stop in to purchase if you forget to order from the market!

SO…see, it’s groovy, and it’s bridging local with another local!!! With amazing products!! You can also go to their website to read all about them!!

Local helping local…it’s a groovy thing…

Just give me a bit to get their products listed on the market page, and then begin your ordering!!!

XOXO,
Pam
