Oh the joys of life

It’s the little things that truly make you happy… Every single customer picking up on time, simple Thank You’s and general Kindness, people who are as excited about a fridge as you are, empty appliances at the end of the night (because you didn’t forget to give Ron his eggs or Sue her pie), a husband who has dinner ready when you get home late, kids who warm your lap while they help you eat what was supposed to be your dinner… What a fantastic day! Thank you!

And I have delicious news to share! Mucci’s Sweet Treats brought back some seasonal favorites, including her Gourmet Mint Brownies and delicate Pizzelles, but only for a limited time!

And The Farmhouse Bakery added Brand New Goodies to the Market this week, including Cookies and Cream Pop Tarts, Amish Fry Pies, and Macaroons! Wow!

I can't believe we're finally Back!

Well this may be the latest I’ve ever gotten the Market opened back up for orders (technical difficulties and vacations don’t mix!), but I think it was worth the wait!

Last Tuesday morning, I got a call from one of our wonderful customers, Heather Rocco, and I have to tell you it makes me smile every week I see her name, because the item she orders every week? It’s ground beef – for her dog, because Heather is a vegetarian! Cracks me up.

Well, Heather called to tell me the unthinkable – she and her small, family-owned company, Challenger Aviation Products, wanted to donate the balance we needed for the new commercial refrigerator! She said she knows they’re a tiny company (6 employees!) but that giving back to the community was what it’s all about, and while she may work in Dayton, she lives in Troy, and loves the Market!

I told Heather in 12 years my husband had never seen me speechless, and yet she managed the impossible :-)

I’ve said this from the beginning, and it’s never been more true than this year – our vendors, customers and supporters couldn’t be more different from each other… We come from all over the map and political spectrum, and yet even if it’s the ONLY thing we have in common, we all eat – food is our unifier, and our commitment to both supporting local and quality food.

And when I get discouraged, wondering whether kindness and goodness still exist, I need never look further than my beautiful Market community (my husband told me I was forgiven for being sappy because I was so happy!)

So Yes! Eggs are back, from J and S Buehler Family Farm and Hidden Springs Farm!! As well as…

Cases of Chicken
Cream Pies – Banana, Chocolate, Coconut, Key Lime
Holiday Peppermint Rolls (think pumpkin rolls for Christmas!)
Meats sold as extras at pickup

And even Arugula and Carrots this week!!

New pies from Farmhouse Bakery!!

The Farmhouse Bakery has added FOUR new 9" pies to the Market!! Of course made from scratch with as many local ingredients as possible!

Blueberry

Cherry

Pecan

Mixed Berry – loaded with a mix of Raspberry, Strawberry, Blueberry and Blackberry!!

Check out all our Baked goods and Desserts – baked the day of Pickup?? Can’t get more fresh than that!!

We close tonight at 9pm – and will take a one week break over Thanksgiving!!

Fridge Update, Rosy Toes gone til 2021!

Here’s where we stand on replacing our refrigerator – Good, amazing, incredible news? We’ve raised over $1,500!

The sad news? We were waiting on hearing back from Hobart after Ed Bucher, with FUMC and the Food Pantry, had purchased new units for the Pantry and contacted them in our behalf to see if they’d be willing to also give us a deal! By the time the decision came back from Corporate, it did not go in our favor :-(

So we definitely are still gratefully, humbly accepting donations to raise the money to purchase at least a used commercial unit – we’re looking at $2,450 for a unit the size of our old one, and we’ll get there!

We’ll remain unable to offer you any eggs or refrigerated baked goods such as Carmen’s famous cream pies and pumpkin rolls, and we’ll have to limit our meat offerings as well – at the suggestion of Miami County Public Health, we were using the bottom of our fridge to store the cases and larger orders of meat from vendor drop-off to customer pickup!

This is the last week Rosy Toes Designs will be on the Market this year! Take a look at her Dryer Balls, whether whimsically adorable or practical, for gifts or a treat for yourself!

The Market will not reopen for orders this Tuesday Nov 24 after pickup – we’re closed for our scheduled one week break – so no Market pickup Tuesday Dec 1st!!

Thank you all for your continued kindness and support!

Get ready for Thanksgiving :-)

There’s still time to order your fresh (never frozen!), Non-GMO Turkey from King’s Poultry Farm!! Pickup for ALL turkey orders will be 5-6pm next Tuesday, Nov 24 at First Place :-)

Pumpkin Patch is offering their Light Amber Clover Honey in TWO new sizes!! Glass half pints, and adorable Honey Bears – just in time for Holiday gifts!!

And the Organic pastas from 6635 StudeBaker are Back on the Market this week!!

Happy Shopping – and thanks for your continued support of our Local farmers and artisans!! You give us all something to be Thankful for!!

Short and Sweet - we're Open!

Davidson Family Growers now has two Lettuce Mixes to offer – one with three Green varieties, and a gourmet Bistro Mix of Red and Green favorites!

A big thanks to Brette from the Grumpy Goat Experiment (love that name!) and Carmen of The Farmhouse Bakery for all their volunteered efficiency helping me get everything organized for our big Market week! What a way to come back from a Break!

And if you were lucky enough to get to sample one of Carmen’s buttery Brioche donuts tonight at Pickup, guess what? They’re on the Market!! Melt in your mouth Magic :-)

Organic Raspberries!!

It may be November but Chez Nous Farm in Piqua STILL has fresh red raspberries to harvest!! Organically raised! AMAZING!

We close tonight at 9 ;-)

Spinach, Squash, and The Farmhouse Bakery!

Everyone’s favorite Spinach is Back from Simple Living Farm in Piqua!

Plus more Acorn, Butternut, Spaghetti, and Winter Squash from Marrs Produce in Piqua!

Did you see all the new varieties of Bagels the Grumpy Goat Experiment is now offering? Blueberry, Tomato Asiago, Onion, Cranberry Walnut, Cinnamon Raisin – in addition to their old favorites such as Everything, Plain, and Sesame! Truly something for everyone!

And the Farmhouse Bakery is even back this week with the best pies around, gluten free goodies, and more!!

We’re Open till 9pm Saturday :-)

We're OPEN!

Delighted to be Back!!

Thanks to Karen and Jessica at Pop-up in Troy for offering us a temporary albeit ultra classy home! They were gracious enough to let us use their gorgeous space so we could get orders to the customers who had already shopped before we were informed we couldn’t use First Place for Market Pickup Oct 20th!!

We’re excited tonight to welcome Dutch Roost Farm back to the Market with her beloved Grandma Bensman’s Pie Pumpkins!!! I just cooked a few of these beauties down for pie, custard, butter, and bread – I have to tell you it is the sweetest, and orange-est pumpkin I have ever seen!! Yum and Wow!!

Thanks for your patience and support during our unexpected hiatus – I loved the extra time with my family, but I missed you, and I’ll hope to see you Tuesday!

Happy Election Night :-)
