Searcy, AR: Sweet Corn
At Saturday’s Farmers Market, sweet corn will be available from Albion Natural Foods. Also a few farmers have ripe tomatoes available while supplies last.
Joyful Noise Acres Farm: The JNA Farm Market is open for ordering.
I opened the front door to let the cat in and just had to stand there and stop; inhale, close my eyes, inhale again then open my eyes to all that is around me. How beautiful to stop and take in what what has been given to us to enjoy. Stop today and enjoy – this life is fleeting but oh, so full of wonder.
We have another week of wonderful foods to choose from. Get out the recipe books and get creative or pull out the standards, either way, you will have a wonderful meal.
Nancy at Harvest Meadows is bringing in her beautiful lettuce blends. The Gourmet blend has added flowers and herbs. It is a piece of edible art and the fresh flavors just burst on your palate. This blend just needs a light dressing and it is ready for the table. Her salad blends are washed and ready to eat from the bag and they last for several weeks without wilting if you leave a bag in the back of the refrigerator and forget it is there.
The Cucumber Mango Salad from Farm Fresh Foods was outstanding last week. Everything Amy makes is fresh, flavor filled, and so good for you. She makes it easy to ‘eat your vegetables’. I am trying combinations I would never make like Carrot Hummus, so sweet and fresh, no crackers needed, spoon please. She grows many of the vegetables and herbs she uses. How awesome if that?
Diabetic Friendly Baking will be on vacation next week. She will have very limited offerings that will be posted later Saturday.
Fourth of July is this Friday, are you ready to fire up the grill? Beer can chicken, ribs, burgers, steaks? The freezer is loaded with pasture raised meats that will suit any recipe.
Joyful Noise Acres Farm will be processing chickens again this week. We are taking them to the USDA processor and coming home with cuts, lots of cuts. We will have boneless, skinless breast meat, thighs, leg quarters, drumsticks, bone in breasts and fresh whole birds. These will not get here until late Wednesday. Because many of you are waiting for cuts, you may pick up your orders on Thursday to get the fresh chicken also. Just make a note when closing out your order that you want to pick up on Thursday. PIck up hours will be 10-12 or 3-5. If I am not outside, ring the doorbell when you get here.
We are blessed with amazing growers and artisans producing the freshest, most nutrient dense foods we can find locally. Thank you for supporting them. Farming is hard work, making a living from the dirt is a passion. You, the consumer, reap the benefit of the harvest.
Blessings,
Mary Beth

Champaign, OH: Whatever Gets You...
Whatever gets you through the night
It’s alright, alright
It’s your money or your life
It’s alright, alright…
(John Lennon – Whatever Get’s You Through)
I am late, late, late for a very important….market opening!! I am so very sorry but when I left the market, I had a long, much needed, regrouping/venting conversation with a good friend/amazing vendor, and there are just times, where you just put a friend, in front of all things.
We have been friends for a long while, I respect her, she respects me, we have built our businesses almost side by side but by different means, different directions.
In the early days, we were just trying to make it all work, trying to find our places in this little local world. We shared tears, we shared laughter, we shared countless, countless bottles of wine. We planned, we dreamed, we worked with each other, and we helped each other. Those days were long, the hours tremendous, the joy, well, not always. Not like it is today. We were just building the love of our customers. One tiny, little customer base at a time. We have come so far, worked so hard, said hello to so many dreams, and have so many more tricks up our sleeves.
So, tonight, it just meant a lot, to have a long conversation, to revisit, to just relive those long days/nights where we all just helped each other get through it all.
Loyalty…I posted a simple quote of this word, this morning, on my personal Facebook page. Loyalty in friendship and in business. I had no idea it would speak to so many friends. But, it did. A small word, a simple thought, but an entire world in it’s meaning.
Just like an old, treasured friendship that we are all loyal to, I feel this loyalty spilling into our little local market. The friendships of customers and vendors, the loyalty in the bonds we are building, and the solid foundation that comes from so many of these building blocks.
Tonight, I open the market and I am smiling at the loyalty that you all show us and the loyalty that we feel towards you, the customers.
We are so happy to be whatever gets you through your week, your day, or your night…we appreciate each of you!!
Just a quick note!!! This week is the market right before the July 4th holiday!! Think about all that you will need for grilling, entertaining, serving desserts, fruits, veggies…whatever your holiday needs may be, I feel that we have it all for you!!
As always…we thank you for keeping it all local and for showing us that loyal local love.
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
