New year, same farm-fresh produce! 😊

Start the new year with a fresh start! Shopping locally for produce, meats, and dairy leads to healthier eating that is high-quality and in tune with the seasons. 

Our selection varies throughout the year because our produce is grown naturally and harvested fresh from our small family farm or others in the area to be sold immediately in our shop. Our grass-fed animals are raised humanely in pasture without harmful additives. We like to say you'll taste the difference! Stop by our shop in Chesterton to try for yourself. We're about 2 minutes from I-80 and 8 minutes from I-94.
