Ben is launching a coop called Sprout Urban Farms (sproutcooplr.com) that wants to work with members to source sustainable products, including milk. If you’d like to learn more, and potentially become a member-owner, please contact benjamin@sproutlr.co
The next interest meeting is Tuesday, July 18th at 6pm in Little Rock.

Champaign, OH:  Someone Told Me…


….there’s a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair…
(Going To California-Led Zeppelin)

And, what a perfect song to announce a new vendor, this week!

We have a wildflower producer, who has also been a long term market customer, and, a fellow West End girl from my growing up!

Actually, this market now boasts three girls from the West End of my growing up…the hemp girl, the wildflower girl, and, yours truly, the bread girl!

Welcome to Angie, who grows acres of her wildflowers, and brings us, Valley View Wildflowers!

The market reopens for the week, and, we look forward to your orders!

XOXO,

Hello—

Several market customers have been asking about peaches. A&A does not have enough to come to the square market right now, but they ARE selling online only for Thursday pickup this week. If you are craving peaches, online is the best way to get them. You may order until 6 am tomorrow (Wed) and we will combine all orders into one, and only charge your card once, after pickup.

And, hello to the ticking clock that is about to sound it’s alarm at 8am!!
