Joyful Noise Acres Farm:  The market is open for ordering.


I know it is early but I will hit the ground running in the morning so thought I would get a head start with the market.

We have a new order of cheese to come in. I did order extra cheddar since that seems to sell out the quickest. We will have fresh butter Wednesday afternoon most likely but still have a few available until then.

We are blessed to have another source for our lamb. Cedar Rock Dairy provides us with grass fed and finished lamb. They have a lot of organ meat right now if anyone is interested. Lamb and beef hearts, kidneys, tongue, and oxtail. If you are interested in those, let me know. We hope to have a supply of bones delivered next week so ask for them when you come by on Wednesday.

Simply Oh! continues to supply us with her wonderful personal care items. From handmade soaps and shampoos to household cleaners, she keeps it clean and organic.

Good Shepherd Herbals will be delivering Elderberry Syrup in 2 weeks. Please go ahead and pre-order so that she will know how many more to bring. We are so grateful that she continues to supply the market although they have moved.

If you know of someone that would like to join our market as a grower or client, please refer them. We love to grow!

Blessings,
Mary Beth

Champaign, OH:  Since You Been Gone


Since you been gone, since you been gone…
I’m outta my head, can’t take it…
Could I be wrong? But since you been gone…
(Rainbow – Since You’ve Been Gone)

So, this song…you couldn’t have been kicking around in the late 70s without having blasted this song, singing at the top of your lungs, cruising around in super cool cars.

If you read my Weblogs, are friends with me on Social Media pages, are fans of my business page, you know I have bonds that run super deep to my growing up in the West End of my hometown, you know my bonds are still super close to my West End pals, and you know that we ran wild back in those days.

I remember parents leaving on vacation, leaving teens with food, beverages, money, and a car…while they were out of town. Okay, it was the 70s, we lived in a sheltered neighborhood, and, well, who cared…we were teens! Home alone! I’m sorry that we weren’t sorry for our parents leaving all of us…it was the best of times.

One of my best memories was of parents leaving, my best pals all assembling the obligatory house party, my guy pals hauling enormous speakers out on the roof of the house, tunes blaring, cars lining up, party in session. This song…this reminds me of one such afternoon.

Back then, we had no idea we were making these memories…we just liked to have fun. I have been reflecting, a lot, back to those years. The places, the times, the people…some of the best in my life. The West End will always have so much of my heart, my pals, so much of my soul. I believe in true friendships, I believe in history of friends, I believe that where you came from makes you the person you become in adulthood.

This is one of the reasons that I love our little local market of love. I feel strongly in the bonds, the customers, the products, and did I say…the customers??

Our customers…the weekly loyals, the monthly loyals, the every couple of months, the once a year customers…all of you…we love you, we want you ALL part of this market, and if we don’t see you for a while, we wonder about you, we care about you, we love you, and we start to get blue….

Because, Since You Been Gone…we just can’t take it!

The market is now open the week!! Make us happy…all of you…throw us an order…let us know you still think about us…we look forward to seeing all of you, next week, at order pick up!

And…why not…you won’t want to miss The Swisher Hill Herb Tasting, on that night!!

C’mon…since you’ve been gone…we’ve missed you!

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Suwanee Whole Life Co-op:  News: Group Buy and $10 Referral from NGE

Group Buy: Milk Carriers and Pour Caps

Due to many requests from new and regular members we are doing a group buy for Milk Carriers from Yesteryear Homewares and Mason Jar Pour Caps from reCap.

The milk carriers make it a lot easier to carry the glass milk jars and also ensures they don’t bump up against another and possibly crack.

“Don’t cry over spilled milk.” The person who coined this phrase obviously does not buy milk from the co-op! In an effort to make the milk from glass Mason jars a little easier to pour I have found an ingenious product- mason jar pour caps from reCap Mason Jars.

One would think that Mason jars have been around since 1858 that there would be plenty of products that would solve this problem but this is the only one I could find. It is made of BPA-free plastic and designed to coordinate with the charming vintage zinc caps.

Proudly made in the USA, spill-proof, top rack dishwasher safe and can be used on all wide mouth mason jars. “Shake, Pour, Store: – grains and cereals – maple syrup, honey, milk… – homemade dressing – household cleaners”.

We are able to get bulk pricing and the caps are only $5.50 each and milk carriers are $7.50. Price include shipping, taxes and fees. We have to reach certain minimums to get this pricing.

Refer a Friend and earn $10 from Nature’s Garden Express!

We’d love for you to help us spread the word about Nature’s Garden Express organic produce boxes! Each friend that signs up with Nature’s Garden Express and uses your code will receive $10 off their first box *of organic produce box. *For each person you refer that receives a box, they will add $10 credit to your NGE account.

It’s the ultimate win-win, and there’s no limit to how much credit you can earn.

Plus you will both get our co-op discount if they have their box delivered to our pick up location!
