Vacation Hold – Produce Boxes
Just a reminder if you are going to be away on vacation please make sure you put a “vacation hold” on your Nature’s Garden Express produce box if you are scheduled to receive one. You can simply do this online or give NGE a call and they can set it up for you. If you get an email from them on Friday with your box menu that means your box is NOT on hold and will be delivered Tuesday. As always you can delete your box order before their Monday morning deadline.
Grass Fed Ground Buffalo and Pastured Chicken Breasts
Carrell Farms and B&G Farms will list as soon as these items are back in stock! It will either be in time for this market or next week. Thanks for your patience! Both these items are big sellers at our market and they run out quickly!
My Daily Bread (repeat)
Due to some health issues they will probably be on the market in 2 weeks. I will send out a reminder. Please keep Dabrielle in your prayers!
Mountain Fresh Creamery (repeat)
We will no longer have Mountain Fresh Creamery on the market. The supplemental feed they give their cows contains GMOs. I am currently looking for a new dairy to provide us low temp pasteurized milk. I will keep you all updated. In the meantime, please consider Cedar Rock Dairy and Lil Tots Estate.

CSA Farmers Market: UNFORTUNATE STRAWBERRY HARVEST
We just got the news that there will not be enough strawberries for us this year.
While all looked well on the surface, when it came time to start picking they discovered that the fruit set was just not there – a situation not obvious until you start looking closely underneath the leaves of the plant – and so there would not be enough berries to go around this year. This includes all of Ware farms outside orders and includes his wholesale accounts, not just us.
As I told someone who wanted to order but wanted a guarantee that they would get berries, there is no such thing as an absolute guarantee when talking about farm harvests. There are just too many variables, and sooner or later reduced or non-existent crop harvest happens to all farmers, for one crop or another (last year many farms had no tomatoes, due to tomato blight.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
Champaign, OH: Suite Madam Blue
Suite Madame Blue, gaze in your looking glass…
You’re not a child anymore…
Suite Madame Blue, the future is all but past…
Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules…
You conquered the world and more…
(Suite Madam Blue-Styx)
So, I had a serious Styx addiction way, way back in the day. Freshman year in high school can pretty much be summed up, for me, by Styx. And, The Rolling Stones, and The Grateful Dead. But Styx…their music could transport. And, yes, like many girls, I was going to be Tommy Shaw’s girlfriend.
Anyway, recently, my mother gave me a few boxes that came from the attic of our West End house. One of them had ancient little drawings that my grandmother put into book form, and had her handwriting on each book depicting the year with my name. I almost cried just seeing her handwriting.
Another box had a bunch of cassettes and 8 track tapes. Some of the cassettes were mix tapes with years written on the covers. While going through the tapes, I found one with STYX written in marker. And, since you know my love of music, and my love of vintage, you just know that I have a cassette deck in one of my stereo systems. I popped this tape in, and let it play until it hit on this song.
I forgot how much love I had for this song. I started to remember the lyrics, and then the lyrics jumped out at me, reminding me of this little local market of love…
The beginning lyrics that I chose for this Weblog, spoke to me because we are no longer the child, no longer the young new kid. Our market has grown in the past four years, gained a presence that overcame the naysayers or the negative vibes that came with beginning something new. Something untried. Something unproven. We dressed our little market up, we marched it around, we sang it’s praises, we promoted, we conquered.
Suite Madame Blue gives way to our Suite Little Local Market of Love…we are a market of AMAZING proportions! So proud to be a part of the community. So proud to have such a local following.
Tonight, I open the market…I urge you to get to know us, revisit us, or continue to show us the love that you do on a weekly basis.
And, a quick note that I will be reminding you of in the next week…just as this market has grown, conquered, and held it’s own, we, your managers, have been watching, and adjusting when we feel it’s needed.
Beginning with Thursday’s pick up, we will now end pick up at 6pm instead of 6:30 pm*** This is really the first time that we have changed anything to the market, but after keeping records, we feel that the 6-6:30 time zone is no longer needed. So…make note…Customer Pick Up is from 4:30-6pm!!! Vendor Drop Off remains the same!!
Thank you for always supporting us, our little local market of love, and the community!!
Peace, Love, and Good Vibes…

CSA Farmers Market: Growing Season Update July 20, Recipe
- Limited quantities of flavorful tomatoes are soon to be harvested. More lettuce, peppers and cucumbers will be available soon.
- Our cut hay was rained on for a couple days. Fortunately we had a couple of dry days with a steady wind. Once raked, the hay dried out enough to put into round bales. Homegrown and all natural is best for our herds, and for us.
- Michigan weather provides a great growing environment for many species of herbs. Everything from dill to sage and mint grow well here. This is great news for the adventurous cooks and exotic eaters. We recommend that you try a new herb every so often. They provide flavor and a wide variety of complex nutrients, not otherwise found in a regular diet!
Farmer Logic: “With the winds and rains come weeds, humid days, and cool nights. Enjoy the soft soaked beds, get out and pull the weeds.”
Until Next Time
