Hi, there…Hello…Good Evening…

And, with this new week, we welcome, Davidson Family Growers with their amazing varieties of lettuce!!

I just wanted point out that Kevin provides heads of lettuce! In bags! So, you are getting fresh, crisp, unprocessed lettuce. He has many varieties, and he also offers several mixed heads, that come three heads to a bag!

For you lettuce lovers, you may want to up your quantity, since it will be different than the processed lettuces in the plastic containers, you are used to!

I’m so excited to welcome Kevin back to the market family!!

Champaign, OH:  Hello, Old Friend...


As I am strolling down the garden path
I saw a flower glowing in the dark
It looked so pretty and it was unique
I had to bend down just to have a peek

Hello old friend…
(Eric Clapton)

So, here we are, Monday evening, the eve before your weekly orders are all due, in the morning, at 8am.

Hello, there…hello, to all of you. Hello, to so many, many returning customers that seem to be returning after a year or more hiatus. Hello, to the weekly loyals.

And…hello to a new vendor who is starting this week! Brown Paper Bakery, LLC. A mother/son baking team that applied to the market, was on the market waiting list, and then we had to say goodbye to McClain’s Munchies, and Brown Paper Bakery was the next one on the waiting list! Give them a look…I hear amazing things about their English Toffee!!

Also, it’s Hello, Again, to another vendor, who will start on Thursday, when I reopen the market. He is new to a great many of you, but he’s one of the OGs that used to be part of the market, way back in the older market times. And, he came up through the ranks with many of your other favorite vendors.

BUT…the most exciting part of his return is….drumroll….he brings his lettuces back to us!!!!

Yes, on Thursday, we say hello to Kevin, of Davidson Family Growers!!! His lettuces are always fresh, full of taste, his farm is in New Carlisle, he is well known in the Clark County markets and restaurants for his lettuces, and I was so happy that he called me, this morning, to let me know that he could return to this market!!

So, on Thursday, get ready for lettuce, again!!!

But, for now…get your weekly orders in!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
