So we’re back to having bread available for Friday, Saturday and Tuesday! This weekend you can find Matt at the Sidney Farmers market 8-12 or swing on down to Pumpkinfest in New Bremen to see me 9-4.
Missing cream!
Hey everyone. This is a quick shout out to see if anyone accidentally grabbed a Bair Trax Dairy Cream out of the fridge yesterday. Let me know if you did so we can rectify the situation. All dairy products in the fridge are preordered through the Bair Trax Dairy herdshare. So we have a sad customer missing their already paid for cream. If interested in joining the herdshare let me know and I can get you info.
Also remember – no bread for Friday or Saturday pickup this week. You can order fro Tuesday. Thanks!

Just a quick shout ou to say there will be no bread for Friday or Saturday pick up again. Sorry for the inconvenience. Matt will still be at the market with veggies but I will be taking all our wool and yarn to Yellow Springs for the Wool Gathering. Come on down Saturday and Sunday at Young’s Dairy to get your fiber fix!!!!

Hey everyone! We have a busy next couple of weeks to let you know about. First off, this coming weekend we will be set up at Handmade Harvest in Minster. Come see us Friday afternoon or Saturday morning in the Hausfeld Motors parking lot. We will have our bread available Friday afternoon so stop on down. There will be lots of other great venders too. That being said, if you want bread please order for Friday or Tuesday pick up. There won’t be bread at the Sidney Farmers market, though Matt will be set up with veggies- sorry for the inconvenience.
The following weekend is The Wool Gathering in Yellow Springs (Sat 10-6, Sun10-5) We will have a booth filled with our homegrown yarn and fiber so come visit! There will be animals to see, ice cream to eat, and more yarn than you know what to do with. Bread will only be available for Tuesday pick up that week and Matt will still be set up at the Sidney Farmers Market with veggies!
And mark your calendars for the weekend after that – New Bremen Pumpkinfest! We will be set up in the Artisan Showcase tent on Saturday. Bread will be available at the Sidney Farmers Market that day as well!
I’m tired just thinking about this month! Hope we see you out there!

Ordering is open for the week! The only new item is the cabbage nuggets. You might be scratching your head as to what those are so I’ll help you out. Cabbage nuggets are the little cabbages that sprout after you cut the main head off. They are small but delicious. The listing is for 1 lb of nuggets which would probably be around 4.
Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!

Well, another Michigan Fiber Festival is in the books. We chatted up the Pygora breed to lots of festival goers, sold some yarn, and took a couple workshops. Our two boys, who travelled up there in luxury in the Prius, did great. Mr Bingo, the wether, came away with reserve grand champion wether (aka 2nd place), and our buckling Buckley won grand champion Junior buck! To reward Mr Bingo, he got his first haircut today. I’m not so sure he appreciated it. He will head to his new home this Saturday up in Neptune. Besides that we are trying to get a lot of natural dying done in preparation for the Wool zgathering coming up in Yellow Springs!
As far as garden news… the greens are still on the fritz. Okra is finally going crazy with eggplants right behind them. There’s nothing new this week (though I finally turned on the ordering for some of the peppers and the red cabbage which you might have noticed were in the store. Place your orders or just stop in and shop Tuesday and Friday 2-6:30 at the farm and Saturday 8-12 at the Sidney Farmers Market!

Just a quick belated message! I will be heading to Michigan Fiber Fest this weekend with a couple of our goats. Prepping our fiber goods for sale and our fleeces for show has been taking me longer than anticipated this week and I completely forgot to let you know.
Unfortunately that means there will be no bread available for Friday and Saturday pick ups. It is still available for pick up on Tuesday though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Quick message to say the market is open for orders. We have the first of the edamames ready!!! We’ve also added on a couple more varieties of garlic and some shishito peppers. Friday will be the last day to find any beets in the store… after that they are all turning into beet and ginger marmalade!
