My apologies for the confusion yesterday! Long story short — I was in a hurry and messed up! Not ONCE, but TWICE! I was relieved when Sarah told me everyone got to Market – in spite of my ‘mis-information’. I do humbly apologize for the mess!
Now that I got that off my mind, going forward ALL Market pickups will be at Crossfit PURE! Thank you to Chris and his staff for allowing us the space and the time!

Take me to the Market.
New Field Farm's Online Market: Harvest begins next week !
Greetings,
The first market will be next Friday, July 3.
You can place your orders beginning Tuesday, June 30 (the website will be updated and ready for ordering by that day.)
Orders should be in by Thursday, July 2 at 8:00. (the sooner the better)
Pick-up will be from 4:30 to 7:30 at the farm and from 5:00 to 8:00 in the lobby of the Union Mill. The entrance to the lobby is across from the back door of Nature’s Green Grocer.
We’ll have carrots, basil, swiss chard, scallions, curly and Italian parsley, arugula, and squash. And maybe shell peas, salad mix, lettuce, and beets, depending on growth rates in this spell of cooler weather. If an item is listed on the website next Tuesday then we’ll have it to offer. If not, then it’s not ready.
Please get in touch if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Tim

Champaign, OH: Love Will Keep Us Together
Just stop, ‘cause I really love you…
Stop, I’ll be thinking of you…
Look in my heart…
And let love keep us together, whatever…
(Captain And Tennille – Love Will Keep Us Together)
Yes…your daily dose of 70’s pop music! But, who didn’t know every word to this song as soon as it came on the bubblegum radio station? I was even in a middle school talent show, singing a duet to this AND the song, Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart! My group had super cool bell bottoms, some sort of hats that our mothers made us, and groovy platform shoes. Feathered bangs, and heavily glossed lips…we were on our way!
Anyway, I heard this song on a Pandora station, earlier, and while I was singing it, I immediately thought of this little local market of love.
Love definitely keeps us all together, all groovy, all strong, week after week. It’s a love fest of customers, vendors, volunteers, and the YMCA. It takes a whole lot of love to keep this market running on the level that you have grown to trust, and we have grown to love.
I am opening the market, tonight, once again, for the week! Thank you, to all, who order from us, stay with us, spread the news about us. We are only as strong as our loyal customer base. We love you…it will keep us together!
Just a quick note…this market is your market right before the July 4th holiday. What?? July?? The 4th?? The time just continues to race. But, we are open until Tuesday so that you can get your thoughts together, your plans in order, and do your grilling/baking/spicing it up/vegging out shopping with us!!
Let us take care of all the holiday weekend needs!! You know you love us, you know we bring the local goodness, and you know you want love to keep us together…
Go, order, take the stress out the week, enjoy the holiday…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
