CLG: Opening Bell: Peppers, Squash, Meat, Tomatoes...
Good afternoon,
Be careful if you have to be out in the heat. Stay hydrated and take breaks. I’m really looking forward to some cooler fall temps, and rain. If the gardens don’t burn up, they will continue to produce til frost. Oh, frost, that sounds good right about now!
Check out all the Featured Products as well. Use the SEARCH field on the main Market page to quickly find the items you want.
Come early for the best selection from the EXTRAS table.
The market is now +OPEN +for orders. Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!
Have a great week!

Champaign, OH: Wonderwall
And after all…
You’re my wonderwall…(Wonderwall-Oasis)
I have a love of early 90s music, and I have had it on overload, all week. I had a huge love and crush on the Oasis bad boys. I played this cassette over and over and over. Who knew that this song would come to mean so much to me and my life. Or come to describe this market in my mind.
Some, or most of my weeks are crazy. This week seemed even more crazy and busy than normal. Amazing amounts of baking, obligations on all boards I am on, tasks that needed my attention, all mixed in with making sure that all markets, venues, events, and my shop were taken care of.
The kind of week that made me both kick it hard with excitement but at the same time let sheer exhaustion set in. When I hit that wall, I just sort of stop and sink…and it’s just at that point that I think all of the people and friends who are near and dear to me feel that I need them to swoop in, give me a sign of love, and swoop back out. They sense that I need to reconnect or just be given a moment of out, just to recharge.
I got random texts that made me smile, random running into old pals that offered hugs, an amazing gift from a lovely Bread Head, a long afternoon on a lovely front porch with one of my most treasured friends in this world while we had wine and discussion on all things. When I feel at my most overloaded moments, I need these wonderwall moments.
This little market of local love is our local wonderwall for you. You are busy, your are tired, you get overwhelmed, and it would be easy for you to just do the easy way out, load up on fast foods, processed foods, snack foods, just to keep you going.
BUT…guess what?? You could just as easily and a whole lot healthier,and easier on your wallet, sit down, recharge, enjoy a quiet little space of time, and shop our market. Make it your get away time from reality. Make it your recharge time with your market friends. Make it your wonderwall.
We all need those moments of help. Those moments where you turn, and that person or wonderwall is waiting to help. Use us, depend on us, let us help you build your local wonderwall.
It’s Sunday, I am taking the day off, I will see you all when I check the market, tonight.
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Farm to Table Recipes
Sausage, Pepper & Mushroom Pizza
From EatingWell: September/October 2010
This sausage, pepper and mushroom pizza is just a little more work than calling for delivery (but not by much), but there’s no tipping required when you make it yourself. Plus you get it fresh from your oven, and with whole-wheat dough and a generous amount of vegetables on top it’s far better for you. Add in season vegetables from the farmers market for more flavor!
Makes: 6 servings
Active Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
INGREDIENTS1 pound prepared pizza dough, preferably whole-wheat (The Bread Lady)
6 ounces Italian turkey sausage, about 2 large links, casings removed
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup water
1 cup prepared marinara or pizza sauce
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, preferably “fancy”
Position oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Roll out or stretch dough on a lightly floured surface to about the size of the baking sheet. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake until puffed and lightly crisped on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, crumble sausage into a medium nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat, breaking up with a spatula or spoon, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Place bell pepper, mushrooms and water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on High until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Spread sauce evenly over the crust. Top with the sausage, pepper and mushrooms and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until the crust is crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
Naples,FL: Market will close tonight
Please take a moment to get your orders in by deadline.
We are selling out of milk daily so if orders aren’t in by Sat I cannot be sure you will get your milk
Sunday and Monday are days for retailers
and farm customers to place orders and pick up milk.
By following the schedule it assures everyone of the freshest possible milk.
Thanks in advance for your help.
We also need to address no shows for milk pick up.
When Dana delivers she has to leave by 10:00. She stops her work schedule to backtrack from south Naples and deliver your milk and then go back to South Naples and Marco to finish her stores on time to be at a timed drop in Ft. Myers before coming home.
Mike and Dana start their day at 3:00 Am
so it is a long day for them and if they get behind they will encounter afternoon traffic which can add an hour since we live so far away.
If there is a problem with pick up please contact them. We know things come up and are unavoidable but with communication we may be able to find a solution.
Dana’s cell is 863- She delivers the 1st and 3rd week
Mike’s cell is 941-809-2658 (he doesn’t text)he delivers 2nd and 4th week
Farm is 863-491-5724 (no text)
These numbers are also on website.
Thank you for helping with this too.
