Joyful Noise Acres Farm: The JNA farmers market is open for ordering.
Good morning.*
I hope you had a wonderful week and got some of this wonderful rain. The ground has been parched over here so I am grateful for all the rain we have gotten.
A few housekeeping notes, we are keeping a log of all the jars coming and going. There seems to be a lot of missing jars, if it is an oversight by the dairy, they pay for plastic but if it is on the customer side, the customer will be charged for plastic. Also, please make sure nothing goes into your jars but milk or water. Residue from teas or ferments will spoil the milk. Secondly, please be careful and drive slowly going in and out of the road. It is a narrow road and driveway. There are plenty of places to allow for two cars but it is unnerving if someone is speeding around a curve.
Off to the yummies, Good Shepherd Herbals continues her 20% off sale this week on teas. They have wonderful health benefits such as Wise Woman Tea for needed vitamins and minerals, Pregnancy tonic gives wonderful support to the reproductive system and Tranquility Tea is very relaxing for adults and children. They also make beautiful, skin nourishing soaps using the purest ingredients.
Harvest Meadows stills has cherry tomatoes, wonderful herbs just begging to be dried or made into a chimichurra sauce, one of my favorite ways to preserve them. They dropped of 2 bags of lettuce last week so look for greens to be on the market soon.
Amestoy Farm has been so busy growing some of the prettiest vegetables. His winter squash selection is varied and the pepper selection begs us to try a new variety just for the fun of it not to mention the flavor explosions. We can’t get enough of his potatoes. I chop them and fry them lightly in pork lard until golden brown. There are no leftovers.
We have cheese again thanks to Meadow Valley Farm. Remember, the final cost of the cheese is determined at pick up. We also have raw milk butter in the freezer.
Tonight is First Friday in Downtown Canton if you are looking for a family friendly event. Be sure to stop by Stout’s Growlers and say hi to Irene.
Blessings and thank you for supporting locally foods.

Cedar Grove Farm: Quality Control
Dear friends and neighbors,
We take quality control seriously at Cedar Grove Farm. When we found the last of our potatoes showing an unacceptable level of spots we decided to pull them out this week. So, no more potatoes and refunds for everyone who ordered them. Good news is we are digging up three different varieties of some fine looking sweet potatoes that will be available next week.
Regards, Jay
Champaign, OH: Good Vibrations!
I, I love the colorful clothes she wears..
And on the way this sunlight plays upon her hair…
I hear the sound of a gentle word…
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air…
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations..
(Beach Boys – Good Vibrations)
So, this market is ALL about the good vibrations!! The vendors, the customers, the sales, the YMCA…we all just vibe really well, and it totally shows!!
Yesterday, a friend of mine, who has been a friend of mine forever, Bill, posed a question to all of his music crazed friends, on Facebook. He asked, if we looked back in the history of rock and roll, what would we change on the face of that history. It has been so interesting reading the responses!
Anyway, the main vibe from that whole conversation was that we all have a music vibe, or a whatever vibe. There is something, in all of us, that stirs a passion, that makes us ecstatic, that opens us up and takes us on a new journey.
This song, Good Vibrations, just spoke to me, this evening, after closing the market. To some, The Beach Boys are all powdery, sugar sweet, Top 40. But, if you listen to very early Beach Boys, you find a different tone, like they had hoped to go down one path of music before they got packaged into the mainstream.
Good vibrations…we all have them, we all get them from whatever moves us, drives us, we all have different meanings, like in music tastes, but we all end up at the same point.
Good vibrations…the market, the season, the people…we all work on it, together, for the best vibes around!
This little local market gets it’s good vibrations, weekly. This week, as I open the market, I am excited to bring you a new vendor!!
Volk Fruit Farm!!!! Amazing and delicious fall apples!!!! They are a local fruit farm, they supply Dorothy Lane Market, and tonight, we welcome them to our market!!!
Apples, Autumn, Amazing market of all vendors, this little local market of love….Good Vibrations!
Have an amazing week, get to know our market, our vendors, and start your own good vibrations!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
