Russellville Community Market
Champaign, OH: School's Out
School’s out for summer
School’s out forever…(School’s Out For Summer, Alice Cooper)
Do you remember the absolute freedom you felt back on the last day of school? The last bell? Your escape to freedom?
In my high school, it was tradition, for the graduating class to have this song blasting on the PA system, as they made their exits, a week early, from the rest of us. We were all left, looking out the windows, watching as they fled, carefree, into their cars, to go off doing senior type things.
The rest of us felt the same sense of wildness and freedom, a week later, but just without the fanfare of ‘the song’. But, with the last bell, the last slam of the lockers, we were all off! Piled into cars, heading off to parks, parties, pools…it was summer and the livin’ was easy!
Remember that feeling of total excitement once the last day of school hit? Summer fun was right in front of all of us. Summer jobs, summer vacations, endless hours spent tanning, swimming, listening to summer tunes, bleaching out our hair, seeking out and making summer memories.
Well, it’s that time of year, again!! And, even though most of us are way out of school, I do still get that same summer freedom feeling. The feeling that summer adventure is just around the corner, waiting to happen!
Go out, enjoy your summer vacations, your summer adventures, your summer fun. Let us do the work of worrying about your local food needs! You can shop us from your phone, poolside, cabana side, vacationing…you go have the summer fun, we will make sure you are all taken care of, so you don’t have to miss a minute of it!!
Make it part of your summer ritual…click on us, place your order, forget about it all until Thursday evenings!!
School’s out for summer…go find your adventures!
Remember…it is Tuesday, we close the market at 8pm…get your orders in!!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT We are sorry but Strawberry Passion Farms contacted me today around 11AM to say that hail has damaged the remainder of his crops and the farm is closing for the season. That means if you ordered string beans, cucumbers, or radishes, they are not available this week. Sincere Regrets!
SEAFOOD FROM MADEIRA BEACH SEAFOOD is still available until Wednesday noon! The only item that had to be ordered early was the Red Grouper (by Tuesday 830AM). If you missed it, you can always order it next week, before Tuesday 830AM.

MARKET TUTORIAL
Don’t miss our helpful shopping hints now posted as a link at the top of every web page on St. Pete Locally Grown. Check it out and then share it with anyone who asks about us! Thanks so much to Volunteer Jeff Yentzer for his dedication to helping our Market succeed within the St. Petersburg Community.
SO MUCH TO SEE!
Customers do you know there are too many items to assign as featured on the online website marquis? Although you may shop directly from the marquis by selecting an item, you may be missing out on a variety of that produce that is listed elsewhere with maybe a better price! That’s why is it always better to scan the list of items in alpha order or, better yet, do a search for “kale” if you want to see all types from all Growers. it’s the best way to narrow down your choices and compare pricing, etc. quickly if you are concerned about missing out on limited items.
Equitable Veggie Pricing
What price can you put on FRESH? As you might imagine, it is difficult for us to compare our pricing with that of local retailers because our produces cannot be equitably compared. Our chemical-free, locally grown produce is usually harvested within 12 to 24 hours of delivery compared to (so much of it) that which is trucked in and stored before a customer can examine and purchase. What price can you assign to “truly fresh” and still keep it affordable? Even though we are chemical-free and not certified organic in all cases, our produce is fresher than most USDA produce sold by local retailers. Our pricing reflects our philosophy that healthy fresh chemical-free produce has to be affordable for the general population. Every day, we strive to meet this challenge.
Grower News
FAITHFUL FARMS
Faithful Farms is moving to the top of our major provider list and we are VERY excited for the coming summer. We’ve never had access to a large grower in the summer. Package that up with a new seafood supplier on Monday and a refresh of local pork mid-June and we’ve got a winning combination to get the summer started! This hydroponic farm in Terra Ceia is growing new crops that will be arriving as a big Blessing to us. Geraldson has said they will close probably this week or next. Strawberry Passion said they will only be open this next week and they are shutting down for the summer. We are thrilled to have FF on board!
STRAWBERRY PASSION FARMS
All orders from this Certified Organic Grower must be in by Wednesday @830AM or you will miss out. I have to place my order with them at that time. So order from them first (they have unlimited volume!) and shop for the rest at your leisure.
MADEIRA BEACH SEAFOOD
It’s what we’ve all been waiting for! The mother lode has arrived in the form of scallops, grouper, and a wide variety of shrimp. Visit their grower page for all the details. ORDERS FOR GROUPER MUST BE IN NO LATER THAN 830AM ON TUESDAY MORNING All of their other items will stay on the website until we close Wednesday noon!
NEW PRODUCTS THIS WEEK
