Joyful Noise Acres Farm: The on-line market is open for ordering.
Good morning sunshine! By all reports it is shaping up to be a beautiful weekend. After the Fermented vegetable class on Saturday, I hope to play in the dirt a little in anticipation of spring planting.
Our March class will be Fermented Beverages, we will be learning about milk and water kefir, kombucha, yogurt and Piima making. These are wonderful beverages to include in your daily diet to restore healthy flora to the gut. If you are eating processed foods, and who isn’t to some degree, you need to consume the probiotics fermented foods provide.
Our wonderful farmers and artisans are bringing you the highest quality foods around so have fun shopping, try something new and see you Wednesday.
Blessings,
Mary Beth

Republican Valley Produce: The market is OPEN
Seed orders are coming in and with the expected upswing in temperatures, it sounds and feels like spring will be on its way very soon. We will be planting carrots this weekend and starting tomato seeds inside. I am hopeful for a good growing season.
We are looking at trying a few new crops this year and continuing many of the old favorites.
Some new crops will include:
-Lunchbox peppers
-Parsnips (maybe this will be the year!)
-Celeriac root (new to me)
-Rutabegas ( 3rd year will be a charm)
-Increasing our onion plantings
-Some new melon varieties
-A few new tomato varieties
Just a few things you may see in the months to come.
Orders are due by Saturday at 10pm. Deliveries will be Tuesday.
Thanks,
Jay

Champaign, OH: Sing A Song
When you feel down and out…
Sing a song, it’ll make your day yeah yeah…
Here’s a time to shout…
Sing a song, it’ll make a way…
Sometimes it’s hard to care…
Sing a song, it’ll make your day…
A smile so hard to bear…
Sing a song, it’ll make a way…
(Sing A Song- Earth, Wind, and Fire)
Ok, my lovely local market of love customers…it was another amazing market, tonight, you all make me smile, you make me happy, and you make me laugh!
I’m not gonna lie…this has been a week to beat all weeks. A mixture of a whole lot of emotions, mishaps, excitement, and stress…all rolled into one. You all know that I am about to open a new shop, downtown, so that is taking up my time with planning, working, dreaming….and then, on top of that, it’s just been a very weird week.
So, today, as I cruised into the market, I felt everything else just dissolve. I love being with my people, love getting organized with my two very valuable assistants, love catching up with the customers…it just all rocked my night, made me happy, and well, it made me want to just sing a song!
Thanks to all of you…vendors, customers, assistants, YMCA…you are the best!
Now, get your own song to sing…groove your orders as only you can do, and show us some love!
The market is now open…rock it!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Group Buy: Pastured Butter
I am happy to welcome Ginny and Jimmy Franks of Southern Swiss Dairy to our family of local farmers! We will be getting our pastured butter from them going forward. I’ve had their butter and it is delicious! Can’t wait until we can get spring and summer butter – it’s a beautiful shade of dark yellow due to the abundance of green grass on the pasture.
Southern Swiss Dairy is a family operated and owned dairy located in Waynesboro, GA. They raise Brown Swiss cows on pasture. Their milk is low vat pasteurized and not homogenized. They use 40% butterfat cream to make their butters. We plan to have a group buy for their butter every 2 months to start off and potentially more frequently. Also we hope to add pints, quarts and gallons of cream once we see how everything goes.
So you may recall that we used to get our butter from another creamery. I decided to switch creameries because the farm we used to work with decided to outsource their butter. I could not verify that the dairies they get cream are from pasture raised cows, conventionally raised or even what they are fed. I will never have a product on the market that I would not 100% feel comfortable giving to my own family and this prompted the switch. I am very confident that you will not be disappointed. The price is even almost the same.
The largest size Southern Swiss sells their butter is 1lb (hand packed in wax paper). Unsalted and Salted (sea salt) will be listed. Since they are a smaller dairy we are limited on how many pounds are available. Don’t forget to order early!!
