Champaign, OH:  Happy 2015!

We are back! Did you miss us? Are you ready to kick off another new year with us? Did you have a lovely holiday?

I hope that you all experienced peace and love and joy! I hope that your hearts and souls were alive in holiday cheer!

And now we are in the first day of the brand new year. Do you make resolutions? Do you make a plan?

I never make resolutions but I do pick a theme to carry me through each year. A mantra. Something that speaks to just me…I also am never about wiping the slate clean for the new year. My motto is to continue the momentum, continue the drive, continue the vision, continue the love and tears that go into life, goals, highs and lows.

2015…may it bring each of you what you desire!

2015….may it continue our little local market of love!

Let’s get this party started…Let the good times roll!

It is Thursday and I bring to you the first market of 2015…let the ordering begin!

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

South Cumberland Farmer's Market:  Happy New Year! and CFM Annual Meeting

TO ALL OUR CFM GROWERS AND CUSTOMERS
We would like to thank you all for the wonderful year we’ve just closed. In addition to our returning folks, we welcomed new growers with a variety of special offerings as well as new customers who greatly appreciated the incredible wealth of goods offered at market. We held several events so customers could meet our growers and artisans face to face and sample their wares. Thanks to you all, these events were wildly successful, and we look forward to holding them again in 2015.

So, from Kir and Linda, your market co-managers, thank you again, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

MARKET NEWS

*_HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So hard to believe that 2014 is behind us and 2015 is about to begin!

This is always the time of year when people make resolutions or vow to get healthier, get fit or just want to make changes for the new year!

My hope that being healthy and knowing the benefits of eating nutrient dense foods is one of them! We love that we have the Market and can help provide that to you while supporting our local Growers that continue to believe in the chemical free, organic and natural from the earth approach to food.

Please share with friends and family about us so that we can give more people the opportunity to buy and eat healthy also! Local farmers need our support to keep doing all the hard work and great food they provide to GwinnettLocallyGrown!

I hope that this year will be the best year in health for you and your family!

*Again, Happy New Year!

Old99Farm Market:  OLd 99 Farm, Week of Dec 28 2014

The last post of 2014! And it’s still green outside. I saw a couple of blooms on the forsythia bush outside my window.

The offerings are still plentiful here at the farm, greens, eggs, meats, root vegetables and some homecooked delights from Camelia. Check the website for details.

I’m using the list to get the word out about The People’s Platform project of HAmilton Civic League.
http://www.peoplesplatform.ca/news/making-every-voice-count-a-town-hall/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/info&id=12&reset=1
Here is our first opportunity in 2015 for Hamiltonians to network with like-minded neighbours:

Norman Kearney of The People’s Platform is organizing a town hall meeting for Tuesday, January 20, 2015 from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall, 71 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON L8P 4Y5.

The meeting is titled “Making Every Voice Count” and its themes are direct democracy and social justice. Maria Antelo of the Hamilton Community Legal Clinic is the moderator. Norman wrote,

“I have already invited organizers of the participatory budgets in wards 1 and 2, and I will be presenting a review on The People’s Platform. I have also extended an invitation to community development workers who are involved with the neighbourhood hubs. I would like the event to emphasize the voices of residents, rather than staff and elected officials, since direct democracy is about fostering active participation of amateurs, whereas representative democracy emphasizes the roles of experts and professionals. . . . We very much want this event to have a spectacular and diverse attendance so that it sends a clear signal to City Hall: the people of Hamilton want and are ready for a say in planning and spending decisions. . .”

I can commend an excellent book to you, The Once and Future Great Lakes Country, about the ecohistory of our incredibly benign and fertile geography and what changes have occurred over millenia due to human and climatic influences. The auther is John L Riley, sr science advisor at Canadian Nature Conservancy and much more. He’s a heavy hitter in the conservation/sustainability movement.

Healthy eating
Ian and Camelia
