To Our Caring, Supportive Community (+ This Week's Meat, Dairy & Veggies)

We appreciate your kindness, patience, and flexibility while you've adjusted to our farm store hours, our strict pandemic procedures, and sometimes even having to wait in lines. In doing so, you have once again proven to be a warm, supportive, and caring community, politely thinking of others while we do our best to keep each other healthy.

We've experienced many of the same challenges that larger businesses have at the farm and at our store, even though we're small and local. We're constantly hard at work finding new and unique ways to provide products we've always carried, and your encouragement and support has kept us positive and making plans for the new year while we continue to grow our small business and farm partnerships. Thank you, all!
