We're FINALLY open again :-)

I apologize for getting the Market open so late – I jinxed myself when I was so happy Anna, who turned 4 months old yesterday, was an angel for me all Market long today, because we got home and Little Miss Fussypants didn’t go to bed until just now!

And there’s just so much to tell you!!

First of all, a big WELCOME to our newest vendor – Marion of Green Fins in Piqua! Talk about fascinating… after taking extensive classes thru OSU and networking with other fish growers across Ohio, she has now built and begun her aquaponic operation, where she uses fish to supply the nutrients for her crops!! Year round growing opportunities, and the ability to (in the future) harvest delicious LOCAL fish for sale?! How exciting! We’re happy to have you join us, Marion!

We’ve got several awesome specials on Chicken – Michael Bair is running 3 different clearance sales with incredible savings… Organic Chicken Gizzards (only $1 for 1.25lbs!!), half priced Organic Whole Broilers, and $4 off Organic Cut up Broilers!!

Back by popular demand – King’s Poultry is offering 4 of their delicious 5" pot pies for $20!! Hearty, filling, and oh so good :-)

Plus 6635 StudeBaker has made available her incredible sourdough starter – what an awesome Freebie!! It’s so active and appetizing, you won’t be able to wait long to start baking – trust me!

And you don’t have much more time to enter our Gift Basket Giveaway!! Look under the MCLG category on the Market to select your favorite (or all 6) and we’ll soon find out who the big winners are!!

With a heavy heart...

I am heartbroken to have to share tragic news. So many of you have regularly inquired about Violet, the unforgettable little girl of one of our dearest friends and former vendors, after hearing her diagnosis with brain cancer last October.

You can visit the Facebook page @violetbensman where her parents have chronicled her journey with brain cancer, and where they’ve shared that on Sunday her brave and remarkable battle had come to an end.

From her incredible mother Katie: “Our girl has gone home. Our beautiful Violet passed away Sunday afternoon – the Day of Consecration of Children to Saint Philomena. She was granted a peaceful death at home surrounded by her loving family. We are heartbroken, and yet thankful she will never suffer again – she is finally running and dancing and singing her heart out again. Please continue to pray for strength and peace for her 2 little sisters, parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends who love her dearly – and forgive the weather today – the Earth is mourning the loss of a beautiful soul.”

Enter to win our Gift Baskets!!

Remember to check out our 6 Gift Baskets in the MCLG category, that we’re giving away next month!

Full of a wide variety of Market products, the drawing for these Baskets has been a fun way to thank customers each year for eating local and supporting their area family farmers and producers.

This year we took the two themes, Breakfast and Grilling, that have been most popular in the past, and created 2 baskets for each theme! Plus a Homemaker’s and English Tea basket :-)

Just place a Market order on our website by September 15th, and select which Baskets in the MCLG category you’d prefer (or feel free to enter for all 6, although once your name is drawn for one basket, you’re ineligible to win the others, so we’re sure of 6 winners! We want to spread the winnings and Market goodness out!)

Good luck, Happy Sunday to everyone, and THANK YOU for your continued support :-)
