Champaign, OH:  Cool Change

It’s kind of a special feeling
When you’re out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon, like a lover
Time for a cool change…
(Cool Change-Little River Band)

Cue the fall of 1979. Scene, the start of my sophomore year in high school. Homecoming dance. This song. So funny how the change in weather, change in the breeze, change of season, will bring about so many memories.

I thought the song title was appropriate for this time of the season we are now entering. The crisp mornings, the warm days, the amazing moonlight in the evenings with stars that shine like tiny diamonds, all over.

Since this summer, I have revisited my high school memories more than any other time. I have reconnected with my entire group of girls of 1982, and some of the guys that we deemed worthy of our presence…lol. My little impromptu class reunion, this past July, seemed to know that we were all searching for a missing piece, a missing soul, a need to revisit the people who helped to shape our young selves. Next Friday, the Girls of 1982 are planning an epic sleepover! A sleepover for the books!! Bringing nothing but scrapbooks, forgotten clothing from back then, a boat load of wine, and all in a posh hotel…we were the leaders of the pack, and we are so excited to begin this next journey in this new stage of life.

Very fitting for this time of the year. A renewal, a crisp love, a kiss back to a time of nothing but freedom, new ideas, and a dose of awesomeness!

This market is seeing a rebirth for the season. The area markets are closing for the season, some have closed, some are on the cusp of closing, and yet here we are, open all year, beckoning to you to remain full of love for your local vendors, locally produced items.

Another sign that the seasons are changing was this past Sunday. Our annual State of the Plate found us celebrating our county, steeped in agriculture, celebrating our growers, our producers. It was a perfect, cool, crisp, sunny autumn day. The scene was at Wren Farm in Mechanicsburg. The speakers were amazing!! You know them, locally, and through this market. The vendors brought their best game. The food was provided from local sources, prepared, in conjunction with local forces coming together, which would be your own Hippie and the Farmer duo, along with In Good Taste Catering. The vibe was electric. A day to remember, and to be thankful that our local fabric is alive, and vibrant! We revisited this local movement. We discussed the importance of agri-business, agri-tourism, agriculture…the backbone of our local fabric.

But above all the local, just revisit what you love. You have loved us for over five years…you continue to love us. Now, with the change of seasons, the change of weather, fall back, head over heels in love with us. Old friends never fade…they just grow more special with love, over time…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Heirloom Living Market Lawrenceville :  You still have time to order...Market closes at 8:00pm!

The Market closes at 8:00pm!

I cannot stress enough the need for us to meet minimum ordering amounts for delivery to be feasible for our Farmers as well as to keep the Market open! We are 3/4’s of the way to minimum! If you haven’t ordered, please click the link below and place your order now!

We appreciate your support of our LOCAL Farmers and of the Market!

Take me to the Crossfit Market.

…a few notes…

My Daily Bread has their yummy offerings on the Market this week. Dabrielle and her son Brandon have created a Gluten Free Pumpkin Roll! We will have samples available at Market pickup this week! Also be sure and check out the Organic Dog Treats! Going forward they will continue weekly offerings! (Barring any unforeseen circumstances and continued support by our Members!)

Our reduced selection of local veggies is due to Mother Nature’s lack of rain for crops to grow and flourish. It has been a difficult year for our Farmers and I ask your prayers them, (as well as for some much needed rain!)

Doug’s Garden has listed Sweet Potato Leaves. Doug called and said he had heard that they are a delicious GREEN! (and goodness knows, we need some greens) He tried several ways of fixing them and has assured me that they are VERY similar to Spinach! I will be trying some this week!

Fry Farm has items listed on the Market this week. Please check out Vicky and Steve’s offerings! Vicky listed a great deal on Sweet Potatoes!

It is time to think about Pre-Ordering Holiday Meats! Hams, Turkeys, Turkey Breasts are all available from the Hutchins Family of Heritage Farm! These options will NOT be available for long and are only available as Pre-Orders! Don’t miss this great opportunity!

For those of you who order MILK — Sam makes a 375 mile round trip to ensure that we have fresh milk. Our milk orders are down drastically from last year and this is becoming a burden to Sam. Financially it is not sustainable. In lieu losing this wonderful product and resource permanently, we are discussing going to an every other week delivery. Cows do not stop giving milk because our orders are down – consistency in ordering is important! I will keep you informed as news becomes available!
