Cape Locally Grown:  Local Food Time!

Greetings from your local food producers!

We’re excited for the opportunity to bring great local foods to your table this week!

We welcome Karen Null this week from Null Farms Produce in Marble Hill. She’s got some lovely winter squash and whole fruit jams available this week. Karen is also growing hydroponic lettuce in her greenhouse and will be having beautiful red and green lettuces available soon!

For your holiday baking, Mike Edmunds with First Fruits in Gordonville has his delicious black walnuts in the market! They make a great addition to cookies, cakes, brownies, and breads along with salads, squash dishes and more!

Jan and Jim have this to say about their new hats – Our highly anticipated package finally arrived at the farm from El Paso, Texas. Inside were hand crocheted, one-of-a-kind winter hats. Each hat had it’s own unique design and was made from our very own Three Sisters Farm yarn. Our yarn is all naturally colored and milled in Kansas by Shepherds Mill. But, what makes them truly special to us is that they were hand made by our son. Larry is an orchestra teacher and director. When he gets home from work he crochets for relaxation. Such a talented guy. (Of course we are a little biased.). Look for the hats here at The Market.

For those looking for delicious bulk local beef, Jennifer Culbertson at Maple Cottage Farm has half of a steer available (or 1/4 if desired). You can find out more info about her beef under the beef category in the market.

Check out our other growers: Double B and their grass-feed beef, Manoor Manor’s eggs (with muffins to come!), the best ice cream from Cape’s own Cream of the Crust, and Green’s Garden’s organic salad mix and sourdough baked goods (with flatbreads back on the menu!)

We thank you again for your support of our local growers. Demand is growing each week, so order quickly before things run out!

Champaign, OH:  Christmas Wrapping

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas…
Couldn’t miss this one this year…
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas…
Couldn’t miss this one this year…
(The Waitresses – Christmas Wrapping)

I know that we all celebrate the upcoming holiday in different ways, honoring different religions, and traditions…this song is one that is on my playlist and brings back the early 80s, for me…

I know it will be of no big surprise that my holiday playlist is of the eclectic kind. Full of fun, full of fun tunes. This always, always, takes me back to the early 80s, working as a mall rat at the local mall, loving all of the hustle and bustle of the crowds, the lights, all of my fellow mall rats, working out way through Christmas break in various retail shops.

We would work long holiday hours, close up the store fronts, and all race out to have a night of fun, only to return to the same store fronts, the next morning, to excited shoppers, canned Christmas music, Santa Clause, and gift wrapping. I loved those days!!!

Anyway…Christmas Wrapping, a play on words, all about the girl who was racing through the year, full of deadlines, crazy life, chasing the elusive boy, exhausted, and just trying to get it all accomplished in the holiday season.

Sound familiar?? We all do our own version of the Christmas Wrapping song…but one thing that should not be stressing us all out is the local food/gifts/shopping part.

You know we have it all…from baking supplies, to dinner supplies, to locally produced meat/chicken/fish, to baked goods, breads, spices, herbs, coffees, teas, garlic, honey, maple syrups, crafts for gifts, soaps and bath products, fresh produce, molasses, gift sets, gift certificates…it is totally all here…all for both daily use, AND, gift giving!

We can wrap it all up for you…just so you can go off to do your own version of Christmas Wrapping…cue…the music!

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

GFM :  BRRRRR !

Cold weather coming our way, yet again. Mother Nature sure is having fun fooling us this year. Is she a fickle female or what ?

In any case, our vendors are still on stand-by, awaiting your orders.

So pick out what you need this week, and order away.

We will see you Saturday for your pick up.

Naples,FL:  Recipe Share

*I have never made any of the fermented vegetables and was wondering if anyone would like to share their recipes.
I am looking for anything to share on our facebook page for healthy living.
Recipes do not have to contain raw milk products.
I would just like everyone to share some of their favorite recipes, maybe an exercise, a book, a movie etc.
Anything about healthy living
I will try and post a different one each day.
I would like to give credit to whoever it comes from by using their first name.
