Cosmic Weekly Trivia

It’s that time, again!! Time for your weekly chance to win a free Cosmic product, of your choice!!!

All leading up to our 10th year anniversary of the market!! I love all of your excitement, each and every week, and all of your answers!!

This week, we are still visiting the years that I used to travel to various farmers’ markets, in my yellow VW bug, selling my breads, and bringing the Cosmic fun, each and every time.

I gave you the Cosmic Classic Five, a week or so ago. Within that group, there was one of the bread varieties that was always a summer sell out at each market!! It was the one that customers waited in line to grab, and I couldn’t bake enough of it in the summer months.

Which Cosmic bread was the farmers’ market darling, no matter where I set up?

Remember…you must be an ordering customer for the week, to win!!

Astral Weeks

Astral Weeks…Van Morrison…the whole album…perfect for this rainy, windy Sunday. Pull it up, listen to it all. It’s such a hauntingly, soulful album. One of my all time favorites.

So, the market is groovin’ along, you all are ordering your Easter goods as you are also ordering your weekly goods.

It’s been a beautiful weekend to think about the incoming spring, the new growing season, and all of the seasonal products that will begin to drift back into the market.

Also, there are new woodworking offerings from Homecomer Traditions, along with new offerings from CrisMiss Farms!!

This market just continues to sail into the mystic, connecting, each and every week with you, our lovely customers.

I will update you, as the weeks come, with returning vendors, and their offerings.

I hope you have a relaxing, good vibes day…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

When You Buy From A Small Business...

An Actual Person Does A Little Happy Dance…

One of the things that I love most about managing this online market, is my relationship with each vendor. Our market is approaching it’s 10th year in existence, and if you think about each week, for 10 years, that is a lot of time to spend with vendors who become family.

We boast such an amazing array of vendors, products, personalities, and all with a willingness to go that extra mile, not only for me, but for all of the market customer base.

I have never worked with so many people who all have such positive, upbeat souls….all helping to push this market, each and every week!

When you are shopping, look back at last year, and how so many of you started to become more and more aware of your food source, your health concerns, your fears of where your food that was actually coming from, and then your love of knowing where our growers are growing/producing.

Your health was a concern. The local community was your concern. You began to learn what I have been screaming about, on my soapbox, for years….you learned the difference between buying locally grown vs. buying food that was available in local stores.

You learned that buying local doesn’t always mean that it is being grown locally.

Our vendors love this market, they love the customers, and they love, each week, watching the orders flood in for their products. They are not concerned about getting rich, or having HUGE sales, each and every week. I mean, yes…when everyone has a great selling week, we all cheer, but you know what concerns our vendors? You. The actual customer. The people. If they make only one sale that week, they are still doing that happy dance.

This market has always been about customer first, vendor happiness, and the best locally grown and produced products.

We have the next expansion plan in the works to help kick off our tenth year that happens in May, and I am so excited to watch it come to life!!

The market is open for ordering, we are ready to do happy dances, and we are ready to make you, the customer, even more happy with what we provide!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

And, Then, The Winds...

My, oh my…what a windy, rainy, cold market!!

Thank you to all who came out to grab your orders! Thank you for the patience when lines got a little jammed up! Thank you for your chit chat, laughs, and just general friendship.

It’s not always a sunshine, daydream weather kind of market pick up, so I love that I can count on all of your loveliness, as the wind and rain knocks me all over the place!

I have poured a large glass of wine, and ready to call it a day, but first will open up the market to your ordering needs!!

Thank you for always supporting this market…we thank you, kindly…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Looks Like Rain

The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain…
(Grateful Dead)

Well, lovely customers…it’s going to be a downpour of a wet afternoon, today, for pick up! I will be running in and out, quickly, with your orders, trying to keep us all dry and on the way!!

Pick up is from 4pm-6pm. If you need a

If you are new, this week, your payment options are phoning me, this morning, with card payment, or writing a check for your order, made out to Oakview Farm Meats, OR exact cash in a ziplock bag, with your name on it!

And, with the rain, today, let’s also put all checks into ziplock bags!! When I am getting your payments, I don’t want the checks to get all wet, as well!

We had one trivia winner, this week, and that was Sarah McHenry! Her song guess was…Sugar Magnolia for the one song theme of my daughter’s long ago nursery!!

There were many other guesses, but none correct for the second song, which was…Scarlet Begonia!!

Ok, lovelies…if you ordered, this week, I will see you all at pick up!!

Stay dry…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
