Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Dec 11


OMG, it’s thursday midnight and I haven’t put out the weekly reminder! I checked the orders report and thank you to the faithful, no prompting needed! Even one first-time customer.

The freezers are full, lots of meat selections, root cellar stocked, and the greenhouse is still producing. Lots of eggs, no more shortages.

Come on out, I’ll check the web for orders at noon Friday for harvesting greens. Meats eggs, roots, no order needed.

We’ll be open Friday 23rd.

Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami

Champaign, OH:  Moondance


Well it’s a marvelous night for a moondance…
With the stars up above in your eyes..
(Van Morrison-Moondance)

I was driving home, tonight, after having closed our little local market of love, a quick stop, and a quick chat with an old friend, and while my little VW was driving through the country roads, the moon was so beautiful, huge, glowing, and amazing!

I groove to the moon…so lovely, so peaceful, so available for glances, so mysterious in her appearances.

I love an amazing moon drenched night. It moves me, it grooves me, it mesmerizes me. Much like this little market.

Tonight, as each customer came to the market counter, I loved seeing and chatting with each one. Some, I missed out on because I was busy with other customers, but then your assistant manager would take on the other customers, making sure all was right in their world, and sending them on their way with their market orders. Kim, the amazing YMCA staff member, even made me, and your assistant manager, a pot of coffee when we begged!

The ebb and flow, the yin and the yang, the good and the bad…it all balances us. Life, the little moondances we all do, the little balances that take place to make sure we are all getting through each day, this thing we call life.

I would like to think of this market as the little moondance in each of our lives. The balance, the stability, the good, the one thing that can make life a whole lot easier.

It is now open, it will remain open for our first time, ever, during a holiday week/weeks!!

Go look at the moon, do your own little moondance, and then order…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
