Wishing you all a happy New Year!

This is just a reminder to get any orders in by Sunday night if you’d like to pick up on Tuesday the 2nd.

Matt has some pac Choi heads available over the next couple weeks so get some fresh organic greens to start out your healthy eating resolutions!

And we have lots of eggs (swing in anytime for those).

I promise this is the last email for a while! Just wanted to give those of you without social media, a heads up that we will have the store open for in person shopping tomorrow – Tuesday- 2-6:30 if anyone needs last minute gifts/ goodies. We will have honey, a little bit of soap, lip balm, honey roasted peanuts, bourbon spiced nuts, Matt’s watercolor notecards, the Christmas tree and barn wood snowmen, jam, and anything else I am forgetting to mention! Thanks for all the orders already placed – you are keeping us very busy!

Get your orders in before Sunday night if you would like to pick up on Tuesday the 19th. We will be closed the following week – no pick up on the 26th.

Of course you are always welcome to swing in for eggs anytime!

We only have a handful of maple syrup – maple leaf jars left for $12 each. This is the last of the syrup for the year. New syrup will hopefully be available starting in March – if winter ever comes! Message us if you want one set aside – otherwise I will be putting them on the table at Lake Rat Brewery for the Sip and Shop today 12-4. Better yet- come get your shopping done, see some other great vendors, and grab a meal and drink!

Also at the Sip and Shop today I will have some fresh baked sourdoughs. I’m still working on the recipe a bit using our homegrown flour but it made a fantastic breakfast slice.

I will also have some lightly spiced honey roasted peanuts for all you nut lovers! $4 for a 10 oz bag. Not to toot my own horn, but these are addicting , so don’t plan on sharing!

Hope to see you all today, but if not, have a fantastic holiday season!

Stop on out to the farm store today for, what might be the last of the tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants of the year. The store will only be open for one or two more Tuesdays, while supplies last, before we switch over to pre orders only!!! Where has the time gone.

First off the farm store will be open 2-6:30 today. We really need bags so if you want to clear your cabinets of any paper or plastic bags please feel free to drop them off.

Get edamame beans while you can – we only have one more row to harvest after today. We still have lots of peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, okra, etc.

Also we have a new kitty on the farm. She showed up this morning and seemed very excited to see people again. Our best guess is that someone dropped her in farm country and she’s been wandering for a while. She’s definitely skinny but is very friendly, albeit a little weary at first. So if you see this new orange gal walking around show her some love. We will be putting a kitty support jar in the store. If anyone is feeling extra generous we would much appreciate funds to put towards this gals vet bills. We hate to ask, but we are maxed out on vet bills for the year with two icu stays, two Ohio state vet trips, on top of all the normal vet visits and the additional kitty litter and the spaying of that mama cat earlier this year. We will be taking her for her shots and to get spayed and all funds donated will go towards that. If you can donate ,Thank you, and if you can’t just give her some lovin’!

Lastly , on Friday we will have watermelons and the first delicattas of the season. All bread on Friday will be brought to Handmade Harvest at Hausfeld Motors in Munster. Stop on down 2-7! Or Saturday 9-12.

Open all weekend!


Due to a wedding in the family , we will not be at the Sidney Farmers Market this weekend. That being said, we still have a plethora of veggies needing to find a home. So we will be open all weekend. Stop in and grab some fresh veggies. Also there will be no bread this weekend. Hours : Friday 2-6:30, Saturday 10-6, Sunday 10-3. We will try to swing in and replenish in between family activities.

We have our first edemame beans (while supplies last)!

Thanks everyone.
