Champaign, OH:  Correction!

Some of the printed customer letters, and a Weblog from Swisher Hill Herbs, mistakenly listed a wrong date for our market…

The market will have order pick up, this Thursday evening. We will then be closed for the two weeks of the holiday. I will reopen the market for ordering, on December 31, 2015!

Thank you!

Champaign, OH:  New Vendor Spotlight!! Ella Bella!

We discovered a while back that our youngest Elizabeth– just 1 1/2 at the time– had a gluten intolerance. This was not a new disease for me; my mother is also gluten intolerant, and has been for 20 years. Since I had some history, I had a pretty good idea of what foods were available on the market in Dayton Ohio. I searched for new stores, tried new things. I found that dinners and snacks would not be a problem –eat whole foods. Foods from the vegetable and meat departments are not processed, so there is no way to have gluten introduced. My problem was with desserts. Everything I tried was disgusting, expensive and didn’t taste like the real thing.

I started experimenting with gluten free all purpose flour mixtures in February 2011. I wanted my daughter to be able to eat what the other kids were eating. And if those other kids came to our house, I wanted them to eat my daughter’s food, and not spit it out because it tasted icky. I knew what I wanted, how was I to get there? I started with 4 different AP flour mixes and made chocolate chip cookies. Thankfully, I have very hungry and not shy co-workers and friends. I had them rate the cookies based on color, texture, and taste. I got honest and constructive feedback. I went back to the test-kitchen and made more tweaks, added more of this, and less of that. Again I took them to my tasters. This happened several times, until I had a winner!

I knew I had come up with a good idea. I wanted to sell my baked goods to others who were gluten intolerant and also to celiacs. I worked with a friend (Chris Vallo) to make a great logo. My husband started marketing to the local restaurants and stores. Ella Bella was in business. We are still a small business but are growing every month.

My philosophy of providing my family with the best possible food also extends to Ella Bella. I mix my own gluten free all purpose flour with all natural and organic flours. I make my own vanilla, using non-grained based vodka. I buy organic butter, local organic eggs. In short, I use only high-quality ingredients to make high-quality baked goods.

Champaign, OH:  2000 Miles

He’s gone two thousand miles…
It’s very far…
The snow is falling down…
Gets colder day by day…
I miss you…

I can hear people singing…
It must be Christmas time…
I hear people singing…
It must be Christmas time…
(Pretenders – 2000 Miles-Written by Chrissie Hynde)

This song will always and forever be my favorite Christmas song. I was a HUGE Pretenders fan, am still always blown away by Chrissie’s voice, and each year in college, followed by my years as a flight attendant, would find me falling into shops, clubs, airports, to be reconnected with this song, and just wanting to get home for the holidays.

This little market of love is just like that…going home for the holidays. Let us be your song, your light, your feeling of home…

To add to the excitement of the season, your market managers are adding more and more new, amazing vendors!

You have already met a few of the new vendors over the past couple of weeks, and everyone seems to be enjoying their new products that they have introduced!

We love adding new stars to the local line up and connecting them to the Champaign Locally Grown family!

We now bring to you Mad Sweet Heat, EllaBella Flours/Mixes, and are looking forward to products from Robin’s Nest Granola!

Mad Sweet Heat is an amazing unique product out of Springfield. It is a sweet jalapeno pepper with just enough kick that we are sure it will be a new favorite among the locally grown customers! Make sure to go to the Growers part of the market and read all about them, their product, and their production! They are offered in retail shops, all over, and we are excited that they are now a vendor at our market!

I had the pleasure of being able to meet and chat with Mandy from EllaBella flours and mixes! She brings us amazing gluten free flours, and mixes for cookies and brownies! We have a gluten free following, and we are happy to be able to offer them, EllaBella!

Robin’s Nest Granola is also a product out of Springfield. We were able to sample her products at The Clark County Food Summit. When she goes live with her products, she will be offering two unique flavors!

A reminder that this is the last market of 2015!!! We will be closed for the weeks of Christmas AND New Year’s. The next market will reopen on December 31, 2015, to ring in another year for this little local market of love!!!

Make sure to stock up on the products that you need, want, love!! We have all of your old favorites, we have the brand new in Mad Sweet Heat, and EllaBella, and we have our newest meat producers with Women That Farm!!

Make it a local holiday. Place your orders, now, for a holiday filled with products from your little local market of love!!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
And THANK YOU for always being such great customers AND vendors!!
