Fresh Harvest, LLC:  Fresh Harvest for March 29th

Market News

Hello!

We are pleased to report the recent freeze didn’t do any real damage to the field crops planted or the strawberry flowers. That is the good thing about it being a wet spring and therefore a little late with the planting – there wasn’t too much out there that needed to be protected from the cold.

It is Easter week, so this is the time to stock up on items for your Easter festivities! There are lots of great beets and fresh spring greens up, as well as the traditional meats from Bear Creek Farm and Wedge Oak.

The Bloomy Rind Cheese shop has some new items up this week! For a great gift for a not-so-little companion, check out their “Cheese-ster Basket”!! Who wouldn’t want to wake up Easter morning to a great selection of artesian cheese, in a cute box all ready to dive into? And if you’re going to someone else’s house for the day, what a great hostess gift it would make!

And don’t forget the flowers to brighten your day! There are still some ranunculus flowers available. This will be the last week to sign up for the Pre-Paid Bouquets, so if you love flowers please treat yourself for a bounty of summer beauty at a discounted price!

As always, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you Wednesday, April 1st!

John and Tallahassee

Champaign, OH:  White Rabbit

Remember what the dormouse said…
Feed your head, feed your head…
(Jefferson Airplane – White Rabbit)

Yes, white rabbit, Easter is next week, this little local market of love, feed your head…see the theme?

This is the market week where you need to begin thinking about all of your Easter plans, your menu, your needs to make those plans and menu action all happen.

You may spend a traditional Easter, you may have your own traditions, you may celebrate the holiday, like I do, with my side of the family, in the West End, on the evening of Good Friday, with a very untraditional Easter menu. But, did you expect anything else from your hippie market manager?

So, today is Sunday, it’s sunny and happy and on the way to being such a warm week! Start thinking ahead to next weekend. Make a list, sit down, and order it all from our market! You know that the big stores will be crazy and crowded. Why not let us do all of the work, greet you with our usual smiles and wit and charm, hand you your orders of local goodness, and send you on your way…happy and stress free…and local!!

We have it all!!! Go down the market list, order, and we will see you on Thursday!!!

Let us help you feed your head…

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
