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

Love Is In The Air With Flourish!

The market is so excited to announce another Valantine’s Day collab with the girls from Flourish!!

Stay tuned as I will continue to remind, and to give you the details on ordering and the pick up day for these beauties!!

Thanks, girls of Flourish!!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and we have the perfect way to show your love this year! Our unique protea bouquets are sure to impress and stand out from traditional roses. Proteas symbolize strength and courage and are a perfect representation of the love you share with your special someone.

We are offering a special promotion on our protea bouquets for a limited time. Order now and receive a complimentary flourish filler to spice up your wrapped bouquet. Remember, we also have classic dozen roses ($50) available for those who prefer a more traditional option! And if you’re balling on a budget like we often are, the Pincushion 10 Pack is wrapped, ready to woo, and paired with fresh eucalyptus for $35.

Remember…keep this in your memory bank for when I post the ordering details…and, until then, place your weekly orders, this evening, before the market closes, for the week, tomorrow morning, at 8am!!

Go Green!

Well, we should always be going green, but this blog post is just to say go green with lettuces and microgreens, this week!!

Old Souls will be back with a delivery, this week, now that their delivery truck is back on the road!!

So…order your lettuces, basil, arugula!!

And…another great green idea from the market are the microgreens, now offered from our newest vendors….The Next Fresh Thing!!

Their microgreens come in neatly packaged containers, stay crisp, and amazing, and the taste is outstanding!! I love that they also give you the health benefits associated with each variety of microgreen on their listings.

I love to put them on salads, pasta dishes, meats, or, I also love to just leave in their container, and add nuts, berries, cheeses, and a bit of balsamic for a mini microgreen crunchy salad!

Go, eat your greens! Go green!

The market is open for orders until tomorrow morning, at 8am!!

XOXO,
Pam

Crazy Train

Hello, and welcome back to the little local online market!!

This evening was the first market pick up of the year, and I think crazy train sums it all up!!

We had high winds, sheets of rain, a washed out greenhouse that washed away customer names, making it a guessing game of sorts, no lettuce, and your manager who just blew in from vacation just in time to jump on the crazy train with the rest of you.

So….fingers crossed for a more relaxed pick up, next week!

I am opening the market, and hoping that you all have a lovely evening!

XOXO,
Pam

Tuesday Reminder

Did you get your orders in?

You still have 15 minutes!

XOXO,

Hello, how are you? Did you have a lovely holiday break? Did you miss us? Are you ready to start 2023 with a real good time?

Well, here we are!! Back, and ready to get another market year ready to rock and roll!! Nothing but good times, good food, good fun, good vibes!!

Our vendors are also back from their holiday breaks, and we will be adding a few more, as the weeks progress!

So, just to celebrate being back, I am opening the market up, this morning, instead of the evening to give you an extra chance at all of the goodness!

Quick FYI…I am jumping on a plane, Sunday, for FLA, to see the little grand babe for a few days, so my products are in vacation mode, but I will be back in action, for the following market!!

XOXO,
Pam
