Old99Farm Market:  Cider Day Sat Oct 13


We’re going ahead with the annual cider day for family and friends of Old99.

You can rsvp here, or by reply to this email.

we’re going to have good weather it looks promising. I plan to have the cider wagon set up in the yard. Additional ‘hands-on’ activities will be putting straw up in the barn loft, making biochar and rendering lard. I will also do my usual climate dialogue wit the latest news and developments.
In that regard I send you this link. I could send almost any link bu this one is fresh interviews with breaking science, deftly crafted by canadian Alex Smith from BC on his RadioEcoshock program. I hope you can listen and/or read the blog notes

Champaign, OH:  Coming Clean


Also…when the market opens, tonight, we see the return of Laura Miller of ELM Tree Essentials…her soaps and oils are market favorites!!

Here is a word from Laura:

Hello! We got really low on stock due to some big orders hitting at once! We went on vacation mode for a few weeks and hit the soap making hard! We are pleased to tell you that the first few batches of soap will be ready for this week’s market! Sweet Orange Clove, Tea Tree Lavender, and Pink Grapefruit are available now, and more of our scents will be added each week—including our Holiday ones—so be on the lookout!!! FYI, this will likely be our last batch of Pink Grapefruit, so if it’s your favorite get it while you can!!!

Champaign, OH:  Werewolves Of London


I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic’s…
(One of my favorite lines from a song…and, perfect to add to our October Market Playlist…who will be the lucky winner of the cd?-Warren Zevon)

A HUGE thank you to all of you who placed orders, this week!! You are bringing such love, fun, and excitement back to the market, on your end, and I hope that we are bringing it back to you!!

Tonight, we have many customers, and much product. Your market managers will be onsite, handing out your orders, but we need to groove out of there, by 5:15ish, as we are kicking off a three day catering event, and tonight is night numero uno!! So, if you are at the Y, after we leave, your orders will be grouped together…look on the shelves, the fridge, and the freezer…but, we hope we get to see all of you before we leave!!

As always…thank you for being so amazing!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Champaign, OH:  It's Magic


It’s magic you know
Never believe it’s not so
It’s magic you know
Never believe it’s not so…
(It’s Magic-Pilot)

Keeping with the magical theme to our October/Halloween play list…we have this gem from 1975. If you were a pre-teen in the 70s, and you lived by AM radio, this song was it!

And, maybe it’s magic, maybe this market was just due for a huge comeback, maybe it’s these sparkling weblogs that I am back to writing, maybe it’s the amazing vendors of the market, but whatever this magical spark is, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

This market has bounced back by crazy numbers, and we are forever in awe of our loyal, magical, and, returning customers from so long ago!!

Here’s to putting the magic in you day!

And…the market closes for the week, in a half hour, at 8am…

Go work your magic!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
