Champaign, OH: Local Thoughts For A Local Holiday
Happy Saturday morning, local market customers!!
Your market manager is about to head down to her moonlighting position of Santa Land merry maker, but before I head out, I wanted to share a holiday write up by our own Charlene…
She summed up exactly how we feel at this little local market of love. The love of local can totally extend into the gift giving season!! In fact, I hear more and more people say that they are keeping it local, this year. When keeping it local, make sure to look at our market. You can shop for everyone on your list, right here, right now…
Think about it as you read…
And, the gift giving can extend to gift certificates to our little market, for gifts that can last throughout…
Also…during this busy, hustle and bustle month of fun, don’t forget that you still need your veggies for staying healthy…Don’t forget to remember that both End Of The Road Farms AND CRSI/Strive are our go-to year round veggie people!!
Ok…I leave you know in a haze of coffee, Christmas tunes, and good cheer as I rush off to Santa Land…
Oh, and just FYI, today’s Santa will be someone very familiar to us all…can we give our very own Paul Wadsmith a HUGE thank you?? Come downtown, today, to catch him in action!!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
And now…words from Charlene…

And from Darlene: I would like to thank everyone who purchase a pumpkin pie. We appreciate your support of the farmers’ market in Tracy City. We made and sold a lot of pies and hope that you enjoyed them. Again, with deep gratitude, we thank you.
Everyone also enjoyed Fox Farm’s pulled pork and special barbecue sauce with Dogwood Farm’s sandwich rounds. -————————————————————————————————————————————————————
