Last Call for Summer Fruit ☀️
We are loving all of the fresh, locally-grown fruit available at the store right now! Full of vitamins and hydrating juices, fruit is just what our bodies need in this summer heat. Stock up on vine ripe concord grapes, watermelons, cucumber, heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil and more while they're here!
TRAVEL NOTE: There is still construction on highway 49 and driving through downtown Chesterton may prove more time efficient. Please check electronic maps in advance to avoid traffic!
Produce
This week’s fresh harvest includes a delicious variety of local, seasonal options! As always, if you can't make it in until Saturday, please put a pre-order in so that we can either reserve some of the harvest from earlier in the week or harvest again and have it waiting fresh for you.
