New! Natural Deodorants
Southern Essentials has 2 new products on the market – Lemongrass/ Tea Tree/ Litsea Cubeba Deodorant and Anti Bacterial Blend Deodorant.
These natural deodorants are formulated to help you to stay feeling fresh without the use of any harmful chemicals. I’ve personally tested both and they really work!

- No Petroleum Products
- No Preservatives
- No Alcohol
- No Aluminum
- No Artificial Colors
- No Artificial Fragrances
- No Fillers
- No Dyes
- No Parabens
Here are a few tips that will help you adjust to using a natural deodorant versus an antiperspirant
- Apply deodorant to underarms then smooth with fingers to coat entire underarm
- During the day if you experience extra perspiration-wipe off with a tissue
- For an extra strength deodorant you can add an additional drop of essential oil of your choice
Ingredients for Lemongrass/ Tea Tree/ Litsea Cubeba Deodorant: ( Organic ) Extra Virgin Coconut Oil , Cocoa Butter , Beeswax , Fractionated Coconut Oil , Arrowroot Powder , Zinc Oxide , Avocado Oil , Diatomaceous Earth ( Food Grade ), Shea Butter , Shelf Stable Probiotic Blend , Lemongrass Essential Oil , Tea Tree Essential Oil , Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil

Recipe to Detoxify Your Armpits – The use of this recipe will help your body adjust to using natural deodorant
1 tbsp bentonite Clay
1 tbsp cider vinegar
Mix together and add a few drops of water if needed to produce a smooth consistency. Smooth under you arms and let stand for 5 – 10 minutes. Rinse underarms. If you experience irritation discontinue use. This is a natural cleanser and is great to use in the morning before you shower. This will give you an extra fresh feeling that will last most of the day.
Market News
Eggs Update- Sadly, Kevin from BeeBerry Farms had thin his flock and will no longer have enough eggs to offer the co-op. He only has enough for his family. It was becoming very hard to sustain his flock and wants to concentrate on other farm activities. Going forward he will only be providing organically grown berries – blueberries, strawberries and blackberries. Look for these on the market when they are in season.
Rocky Acres has increased the amount of eggs available. They also have new layers and are offering small and medium eggs in addition to their large eggs they offer weekly. Rocky Acres provides fresh brown eggs produced by pastured Golden Comet hens fed a supplemental feed made only from non gmo corn, sunflower seed, millet, and other grain products when available. No soybean meal. Hens are housed in an open air barn with outside access to grass.
Recycle NGE Boxes – Don’t forget to bring your boxes to pick up if you would like NGE to reuse/recycle your box. There’s a large gray plastic bin by the roll up door at the warehouse for you to deposit your box. Please make sure all your boxes are folded flat.
Wilderness Family Naturals Group Buy- Our group buy order has still not shipped. Since WFN is shipping from Minnesota they will not ship until temperatures are at least close to freezing. This is to ensure nothing cracks or is damaged before it gets to us. Once I receive the tracking information I will contact those who have ordered and give an update.

Champaign, OH: Crash Into Me
Sweet like candy to my soul…
Sweet you rock…
and sweet you roll…
(Dave Matthews Band-Crash Into Me)
Have you ever had one of those days where you were gliding along, all happy, cool, groovy…and then, out of nowhere in particular, totally ungroovy events happened? Yeah…well, that was my afternoon. But, instead of crashing down, I have decided to look at all of the positive things that I love, that bring me a sense of pride, and show me where the scene really is!
Our little local market of love, our local spirit, our dedication as a united front to present all that is honest, all that is local, all that is good, all that is what we have built…that is what grounds me. That is what makes me proud, happy, dedicated…it rocks and rolls my soul.
I urge you to think about local, think about this little local market of love, and show us some love. The support that we get, weekly, from customers, vendors, the YMCA, outside comments…it all means so much to us!!
Crash into us…either for the first time, the hundredth time, the weekly time….we totally love it!!
Give us your orders, and we will give you our local love! You have until 10pm…we want you to crash into us…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Mar 1st 2015
Apparently this blog has not been transmitted for the last two weeks. If you did get a post from me, pls send me a reply.
Here is what I sent out last week:
Specials this week: stewing hens: a dollar off per kg ($6/kg) and ground beef, a dollar off ($13.40), both pasture raised and finished.
Looks like we’re in for below normal temperatures for the rest of the month, about 15dC below in fact. While Alaska and the North face a heat wave. See a powerful interactive site put out by U Maine showing graphics on global climate changes. http://cci-reanalyzer.org
Furthermore, about 10 percent of the world’s food is produced by overpumping groundwater. In essence, we are using tomorrow’s water to meet today’s needs — a theft from the future likely to grow as droughts worsen and spread. [due to climate change, says National Geographic]
http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2015/02/17/climate-change-poses-existential-water-risks/
Is there too much ‘apocalyptic climate news’ and is it counterproductive? Joe Romm at the best-of-class website, ClimateProgress, has tackled that one several times. He says no, and shows why here: http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2015/02/22/3617410/oscars-doomsday-climate-messages/, “The two greatest myths about global warming communications are 1) constant repetition of doomsday messages has been a major, ongoing strategy and 2) that strategy doesn’t work and indeed is actually counterproductive.” In fact there is not nearly enough information getting out to the public (that would be us_) for informed policy action.
But here at Old 99 we try our best, and bring you a couple of snippets so you can talk the kids at breakfast (or to the parents, as the case may be ).
Cami and I got started on greenhouse planting this weekend, with three greens crops in the ground: lettuce, arugula and mesclun mix. Not that they’ll germinate any time soon, but when the soil does heat up to about 10dC, they’re be waiting!
We have many pork, beef and lamb cuts in the freezers, eggs, flour and root cellar crops. Plus the specials mentioned above.
