It's Late!!

Hello, good morning, so sorry!!

I apologize for the lack of posting, over the weekend, and my late market reminder, today, but I had my little family in from Florida, and well, if you follow this weblog, my little grandson, Lennon, is just everything to me, so I spent all the weekend, soaking up his cuteness!!

So, like you, I am scrambling to get my order in, as well!!

AND…JC Growers added two varieties of radishes, the asparagus is going to be short lived, and there is just SO MUCH GOODNESS ON THIS MARKET!!

Ok…see you on the flip side!! Get those orders in!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Summer Breeze

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind…
(Seals & Croft)

I know that it is not yet summer, but today, when I was outside, harvesting the small batch Lettuce Be Groovy orders, there was such a nice breeze, no humidity, and a beautiful golden haze to the early part of the day. I had this song running through my head, the rest of the day.

Thank you, once again, for another lovely market of orders!! I love the love that you give to this little local market!

Once again, Thursday evening is here, and that means the market will reopen for your weekly orders!!

Also, I bought a bunch of JC Grower’s radishes, and wow!!!! The best!!! Grab some while they are in season!!

Same for the asparagus…we never know how the weather will determine it’s already short seasonal life span, so don’t miss out on Harrigan’s Harvest Asparagus!!

Hippie and the Farmer have put the Lettuce Be Groovy Lettuce on vacation mode, while it regenerates!! As soon as the plants are mature enough, again, I will add it back!! Remember, this is an experiment in small batch lettuce, and quite fun and interesting!!

Ok, do your thing…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Rainy Days and Tuesdays...

always get me down…lol

Wrong day for the song implant, but you get my drift…

Also, I hope that everyone had a lovely weekend, and a pleasant Monday!

Today is Tuesday, and this is your reminder that the market will close for weekly orders at 8am!!

Don’t miss out on all of this local loveliness!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Into The Mystic

Then magnificently we will float
Into the mystic…
(Van Morrison)

Thank you, so very much, to all of you, for tonight’s smooth market pick up, the loveliness of your smiles, and excitement in your chats!!

It really felt like floating…

And, for more good, local, seasonal news, the market welcomes the first round of radishes from our wonder girls of JCGrowers!!!!! Make sure to get those while they have them!! They have the best!!!

Asparagus is still going strong!!! Get it before it’s going, going, gone!!! You can also pick this up in the retail shop, on site, at Oakview Farm Meats! Remember, the shop, and this market are the only places you will get Harrigan’s Harvest Asparagus, this year!!

Also, Lettuce Be Groovy lettuce from Hippie and the Farmer!! Small batches from small harvests!! Cut for your orders, right before market pick up!!

And, these seasonal delights are only some of the amazing local loveliness on the market!!

I am reopening, this season!! Get your orders in before you get busy with your weekend Mother’s Day plans!!

Thank you, so very much, for your continued support of the market!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Thursday Market Pick Up!

Good morning, lovely customers of the market!!

There are a lot of you, today, and many returning for the spring/summer season after being gone for the winter!

Just a few updates/reminders…

The new market pick up times are 3pm-5:30pm, today!

If you need a Friday pick up, please alert me, if you are not already a Friday pick up! Those times for pick up are from 10am-12pm!

If you need a Saturday pick up, again, please alert me, and the pick up times on that day are 10am-4pm!

ALSO…I spent last week, clearing out old/expired credit card information!! If you think your card may be expired, and want to add a new one, you can call me, or just let me know at pick up! It does take a bit of time to do it at pick up, but totally, no worries!!

Your other options are cash, in a ziplock bag with your name on it, a check made out to Oakview Farm Meats, or you can pay with a card, even if you don’t want to keep in on file. Keeping a card on file just allows you to breeze through at pick up, get your order, and go on your way!! It’s all totally up to you!!

If you are a new customer, you will just pull into the drive, at the farm, and drive to the greenhouse door. We will be getting your order packed up, and will then bring it to your car! It’s just so easy!

Tonight, we have the added seasonal delights like asparagus, and lettuce…it may take just a tad more time to grab those items and get into your order.

We also see the return of my father, helping, tonight, after he was away at the beach. As always, I thank you for chatting with him, and making an 84 year old’s day…he loves the market!!

We love your support of the market, and we thank you, kindly!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Tuesday Alarm Clock!

Hey, Hey…it’s that time of the week!! The reminder time that you have until 8am, this morning, to get your weekly orders in!!!

The market is going crazy!! Don’t miss out on all the amazing products!!

Need a song implant while you order?

How about Strawberry Alarm Clock (see where I am going? Alarm clock, waking up, ordering?)

Incense and peppermints, the color of time…(I woke up with this song rambling around in my head, so why not turn it up while you get your orders together?)

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Lettuce Be Groovy!

Finally!! Lettuce via Hippie and the Farmer!!

We will be offering limited quantities, weekly, of assorted salad bowl lettuces, sold in small batches, from weekly small harvests! Each bag will give you enough freshly cut lettuce for one large salad, or two side salads! Keeping it small, keeping it fresh, keeping it harvested, the day of pick up!

It’s now on the market, but remember, it’s limited in quantities available!!

Long Monday

Radio’s on
Windows rolled up
And my mind’s rolled down
The headlights flashin’
Like silver moons
Rollin’ on the ground…
(John Prine)

Easing into this Monday with a mellow tune, and groovy attitude…

The day is a bit overcast, a bit slow to the start, and a perfect chance to get your weekly orders in!! So much, I mean SO MUCH on this little local market, to offer!!

And, did you know that this month is the anniversary of the opening of this market? 13 years!!!! What?? I know, believe me, it is so hard to think back to the very early days, but here we are, the little market that could!!!

We continue to thrive, we continue to add new talent, new vendors, and we continue to add new customers!! We also have such a high retention rate for our very loyal, weekly customers, who support this market, each and every week!!

Each week, I say a Thank You, for the continued love that you all give this market!!

Now…go order!!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Asparagus Has Arrived!

Yay!! The season has started, and here we are with Harrigan’s Harvest Asparagus!!!!

You know it goes fast, and the season is short!!

Also, this market, and inside the retail shop, of Oakview Farm Meats, home of this market, will be the only places to get Beth’s asparagus!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Hey, Hey!

It was ANOTHER great market, and truly, we thank you, over and over for always being so supportive of this long running, all local market!!!

Pick up is now over for the evening, and I am reopening for your weekly ordering pleasure!!

Also, it looks like the asparagus from Harrigan’s Harvest should be back on the market, very soon!!! I will make sure to alert the masses!!

Have a lovely evening, as I pour a glass of wine, and toast this amazing weather!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
