This Saturday we will have along a small assortment of our heirloom, certified organic beans. Due to spring and fall weather conditions beyond our control, our bean harvest was very poor this year. We will not be selling any heirlooms in bulk quantities and the price is a little higher than normal.  Thanks for understanding. We will also have corn meal and grits/polenta along to market. And we will have wool socks, wool mittens and wool hats available—great for gift-giving or just to keep you warm!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all,
We’ll have a full selection of 100% grass fed beef this Saturday. We sell by halves and quarters year round.
Saturday’s preorder special: 10% off any beef we have in stock. Thank you to our customers who regularly preorder. It helps take the guesswork out of how much of what to bring along!
We’ll have a nice selection of honey, and maybe a few eggs. I gathered one duck egg again yesterday. I believe this is the latest in the year that the ducks have kept laying.
We plan to take the Saturday after Christmas off from market to spend time with our kids.
We wish you all the blessings of the season,
