Wow! Mina was the “Farmer of the Day” at the Lilburn Market yesterday and judging by the way the samples were flying off the table, it was a great success! From the Blueberry Cheesecake to the Oatmeal Crisp Cookies and the Dinner Rolls – well, everyone found something to like! No Gluten Inc. is Celiac friendly and their offerings are quite impressive and delicious!. Mina developed her mixes because she was diagnosed with a severe Gluten allergy. The Bakery is dedicated to Gluten Free Baking so there is no chance for any contamination from wheat. The staff is working hard to get pictures and descriptions listed on all offerings and that should be finished this week! I ordered the Carrot Cake this past week! OH MY GOODNESS! It is delicious! Sarah treated herself and Tyler to cookies, bread and a sweet bread! Be sure and check out their offerings!

Champaign, OH:  Peaceful Easy Feeling

‘Cause I get a peaceful easy feelin’
And I know you won’t let me down
‘Cause I’m already standing I’m already standing
Yes I’m already standing on the ground…
(Peaceful, Easy Feeling-The Eagles)

So, my life is crazy. Like, literally, every single minute of every single day, crazy. It’s a good crazy. It’s a self created crazy. It’s the product of running multiple business ventures, a shop, servicing restaurants with my breads, managing two farmers’ markets, serving on boards, and committees, and making time to hang with friends, making time for me, making time, making time, making time…and, as I run here, there, and everywhere, I make time.

I make time because it’s important to me, to fulfill all of my obligations, deadlines, and to touch base with the people around me, that love me.

I am a lucky, lucky girl. I have a huge support team, I have a most awesome girl gang, I have amazing Bread Heads who are my customers, I have an amazing business partner for my newest venture, Hippie and the Farmer, and I have a home base that seems to know when I need to crash. When I get to the point where I want to nap while driving, or when I want to cry in the middle of the say, or when I need the time for a deep conditioning hair appointment.

I can’t be me without my people. My tribe. My circle. I can’t be me without my trusted few.

Tonight, I was reaching crash and burn time. I wanted to sit in my car, and either laugh, cry, or yell. Nothing bad had happened, but I was at my limit of juggling, handling, smiling, listening…I love my life. I love all that I do. I love everyone who needs me, because, in turn, I need them. But there are times, and then there are times.

Something, in the split second of a mixed up evening, gave me a free evening. I walked into my house while the sun was still shining. I did a few mundane tasks that made me feel like I was on top of the world. I put on my oldest, most favorite Dead t-shirt, cutoffs, and sat on my back deck with a glass of wine. Okay. Two glasses.

I lit candles, made a lovely dinner, listened to music, talked to a few friends, and slowly found my way back to me. So strange how a boring evening of nothingness can be so good for your soul.

So, just like this little local market of love sometimes needs, I gave myself a little recharge. A little regroup. A little meet and greet with myself. Because, I feel that when we allow things to recharge, we get a new spark of energy. A new love of ourselves, of what’s around us.

This is how I am opening our lovely market, tonight. With a peaceful, easy feeling…let’s all just take that moment to regroove…go ahead. Take a breath, sing a song, smile your biggest smile…take a nap, go to bed, and sleep in late. Catch up with an old friend. Shut yourself off from everyone. That’s what is so great about how we each recharge. It’s all for us. Just like this market. We make the market what we want, to fit what we need.

Go ahead…place your orders, and create your own peaceful, easy feeling…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

The Wednesday Market:  Happy Sunday! It's Time to Order

Good morning.

The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. Wednesday. See the website for all of this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

Thank you to the customers who ordered from St. Simons Island Shrimp Specialist last week. Bear with us as we work to refine an ordering pattern and delivery schedule for our newest producer. Orders for Georgia shrimp will be taken every week, but the shrimp will be delivered ONCE per month, on the first Wednesday of the month. You will not be charged for your order until you pick up.

On another note, it is finally TOMATO SEASON! I am doing my happy dance because I know I’ll be making caprese salad very soon! So far, my sweet husband Joe has harvested two luscious tomatoes from our sturdy plant. Thank goodness our little plot survived the ferocious storm that struck Zebulon on June 17!

Concord Street Sweets will be back on the Market soon.

Thank you for your support of locally grown agriculture and for choosing to purchase locally! We’ll see you at the Market.

Thanks,

Beverly
