Happy Thursday evening, little local market of love customers!! Can you believe it’s Thursday, and time to open the market up for the week, again? And now, with the passing of the Memorial Day weekend AND the ending of my weekend away at the annual Jubilee music festival, it’s time to get down to the business of the upcoming summer season!!
YES!!! Summer Of Love…Let The Good Times Roll!! It’s the time of year that is my favorite!! The days grow sunny, bright, hot, long. The old familiar feeling begins to creep in that was part of my youth. The carefree, throw caution to the wind, see what each day brings kind of mood!!
My music festival was most fun!! It let me relax, regroup, rejuv, and get my dancing vibe on. I feel like a new person, again, ready to take on the months of physical market season, festivals, events, and this never ending love for the little local market of love.
This market is amazing, easy to use, cost effective, packed with local goodness, and ready to help you with all of your needs!
We are also very seasonal…so, if you want to order live herbs and plants, you need to do so, pronto!! Same with seasonal asparagus, green onions, and all of the other seasonal items that will be coming our way!! Get them, savor them, and enjoy them while we can!!
It’s also the official time for grilling season!! Look at our local meat selections to make your dinners easy, grilled to perfection, and making your life easy! What about fish? A great grilling idea for those hot and hazy evenings.
We have it all to get you through the week!! Herbs, vegetables, meats, cheeses, dairy, breads, baked goods, syrups, jams and jellies, eggs…so much to get your summer groove on!!
Look to us for your Summer Of Love goodness!! We are here for you…we want to make your summer as pleasant, stress free, and packed with local goodness as we can!!
And, to make it even more fun?? I am bringing back the fun of the Market Love CD Playlist…everyone LOVED that, last summer season. Get ready…a set list of songs and lyrics that I use, on a cd, randomly picked for a customer, each week!!
We really do offer it all!! And, we do it with so much fun!!
The market is now open, you may place your orders, and we look forward to your smiling, happy faces, each Thursday!!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
