🦟 "I love mosquitos," said no one ever. In fact, most of the time we hear, "I'm a mosquito magnet. They never bother my husband, but always come after me!" And vice verse. Here's a few facts on why mosquitos are attracted to some more than others:

🙋type O blood types
🙋‍♀️ higher body temperatures
🙋‍♂️exhaling more carbon dioxide
🙋‍♀️ drinking beer
🙋eating sweet or potassium-rich food

🦟 So, that means if you're outdoors, talking a lot while drinking beer and eating something sweet like melons, the little buggers are gonna be heading your way! Fair warning to all you talkers... 😉

🦟 What's the solution? You could use a commercial insect repellent, but if you're not into dousing yourself w chemicals, give our all-natural Shoobug! a try. Made with various essential oils that mosquitoes (and also other bugs) hate. Yes, it's true, you'll have to spray yourself down probably every hour or two, but it's worth it to not put your nervous system at risk. Great for kids, safe around animals, smells better than commercial sprays.... and it really works!

🦟 Stop by Gan's Mall & Auction House and grab a bottle.

It’s def tick season around here. The little buggers are everywhere it seems. Did you know? Ticks are actually arachnids 🕷️ and closely related to spiders and scorpions. 🦂 It’s true, they can carry diseases, but the good news is, only adult ticks can tranmit them, and only if they are attached for 24-48 hours. So be sure to check yourself and your children regularly and catch them before they bloat.

Our all-natural Ticked Off! Spray will not keep them away 100%, but it can and does lessen the amount you get. Spray down your ankles, calves and clothing, especially if you’re going to be in shaded, tall-grassy areas. Ticks don’t drop from above, but love to hitch a ride from the turf and then slowly crawl up to where they can attach to their host. Be aware they’re also attracted to light colored clothing.

If you’re needing some help with those darn ticks, stop by and grab a bottle from Gan's Mall & Auction House.

A lot of folks ask us about magnesium. This article on the various forms and types is very informative. It tells you exactly what type of magnesium does what and how well it’s absorbed. We sell magnesium chloride and it works wonders for muscles, but I also supplement with other forms as well and have noticed a great improvement in my sleep patterns and cognitive function. Thought this might be helpful to others.

Next to us at the Market this year is a new “bead box” where kids can make their own bracelet or necklace, and sit and flip through books or magazines. It’s been fun to watch them all having fun. Beautiful flower bouquets and fresh strawberries from Lors Farm are across from us, as well as yummy baked goodies from Meemaw's Kitchen. And the rest of our back row Market mates are Nomads Landing with Kombucha and Morning Star Cattle Company
with Wagyu beef, and back this year is Jade Arrow with wonderful organic herbal teas. Stop in! There’s sure to be something special for everyone. Frank Phillips and Keeler. 8a-noon.

Restock at Gan's Mall & Auction House today. Some new items are our all-natural bug spray. Terrific for keeping mosquitoes at bay. It’s one of our best selling items! Also, Natural Tick Spray. Gonna be honest, it won’t keep those nasty li’l buggers off 💯 but will help lessen the amount you get. Also new are 3d printed fidgets. No, they’re not naturally-made, but from a wellness point of view they’re very useful! Great for helping students or those with ADD to focus, and helpful for reducing cortisol as you ‘fidget’ with them.

Stop in and get your next great buy from Gan’s Mall. ♥️

I’m thinking about Mother’s Day this coming Sunday. 🤔 The perfect time to come to Bartlesville Farmers Market and pick up the perfect gift. Like flowers 💐 for instance from Webb Gardens or a number of other vendors. Maybe some sourdough cinnamon rolls from The Fermented Boule or bread 🍞 and jelly from Sand Creek Farm. Or Monkey Bread from Meemaw's Kitchen. Of course, several of our own items would make unique and fun gifts as well. Come see everyone this Sat, May 9th and have your mom, grandma and daughters’ in mind! 8-noon.
