Champaign, OH:  The Snow Globe


Because of the snow filled morning, school closings, and many delays, I am keeping the market open until 8:30, to get your last minute orders in!!

Pass the time, while you wait for the morning to start, by getting your order together!!

And, let’s hope, this is the last that we see of this snow globe effect…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Miami County Locally Grown:  We have local MILK!! :-)


It’s true, folks! Morning Milk Creamery, of Brookville, joins the market tonight with four varieties of their Whole Milk, in four sizes!!

Matthew and Mary Bayer, with their four children, have a lovely 400 acre farm, and have been milking since 2000. As a little boy Matthew fell in love with milking when he worked for a neighbor, and always wanted to start a dairy himself. What better way to enjoy working as a family together on the farm!

Last year, after touring other successful dairies that were bottling their own milk, the Bayer’s started their own creamery and became USDA inspected – a rigorous process that ensures quality and care!

I watched them working with their 12 year old son, and appreciated the efficiency and concern they had for their operation. Ready with answers and smiles, they were a delight to speak with and learn from.

Currently milking 65 Holsteins, they sell to 8 different stores in Ohio and Indiana. It’s impressive they’re a closed operation, raising the feed for their animals, including Non-GMO corn, silage, hay, and pasture for most of the year, as the weather allows.

This is good, whole creamline milk – with no cream removed, and NOT homogenized, so be sure to shake well!

What I probably love most about their milk? Since Tuesday is their bottling day, they’ll milk in the morning, bottle your orders, and deliver their products to our market all in the same day – less than 12 hours from the cow to your family?! How can you get more local or fresh than that?!

It was cute when they “warned” me before I tried the strawberry shake-up that it did have seeds in it, since they made it with real strawberries! I would’ve thought that was a perk :-)

The 8oz shake-ups are simply darling, and perfect for packing lunches or a quick single-serving, although the pints, a full 16oz, are only $.25 more!! Wow!!

And of course they also offer half gallons and gallons – and all four sizes of four varieties… Pure Whole White, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Orange Cream. And a shelf life of 17 days!

You’ll also get to meet this sweet little family when they set up at our Spring Farmer’s Market on Tue April 24th with all of your favorite vendors!

So many new additions to our ever-growing market – our little local community just keeps growing and embracing new families… I love it!

Fresh Harvest, LLC:  Fresh Harvest SPRING EQUINOX UPDATE!




Market News

Hello!

We are celebrating the first day of Spring today by sending you a short letter just updating you on our delivery schedule!

Sorry to be so quiet on our end, but this extra wet spring weather has had us on our toes. Vegetables have been a bit low as we transition form one season to another. For those two reasons, we will be taking the rest of March off.

We hope to be back at deliveries with a regular schedule in April.

We know it is disappointing to have to visit the vegetable aisle of a grocery store, but please know we will be back soon!

We are looking forward to a great season ahead, and are so thankful to you all to supporting us!

Thanks you and we will see you soon!
John and Tally
