End Of The Road Farm Tour!!!

We would like to invite the virtual market vendors and customers to join us out on our farm Saturday October 10th at 2pm for a sorghum-making demonstration and a guided tour! Our draft horse, Tony, will help us squeeze the juice out of the sorghum cane, and we’ll be cooking it down to make sweet syrup – an interesting process if you’ve never seen it in person. End of the Road Farm may be a work in progress, but we, along with our three young children, have a lot of fun and enjoy working full-time on our homestead. There will be several samples of sorghum goodies to try – we’d love to meet you if you’re able to come!

If you want a fun day, full of farm love, and just a real good time…plan on attending this farm tour!! It was great fun, last year, and you don’t want to miss the fun!!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Harvest Moon

But there’s a full moon risin…’
Let’s go dancin’ in the light…
We know where the music’s playin…’
Let’s go out and feel the night…
(Harvest Moon-Neil Young)

Yes…it’s fall, you can feel a slight change in the air, the breeze, the shadows from the sun, and the leaves that are now drifting down to the ground.

We saw the Super Moon, a Harvest Moon, on Sunday evening. I sat out on my back deck, glass of wine, waiting for the cloudy sky to allow a glimpse of the moon. And finally, it happened. Magical.

Fall also brings about a shift in our produce. We said goodbye to strawberries, long ago, but you know what…we now have apples!!!! And, although we do not have a virtual market apple vendor, we do have Herr Family Farms, who bring in their goodness, when they feel they have enough!!

So…today is Apple Day at market pick up!! Even if you didn’t get to place a market order, feel free to groove to the YMCA lobby at 4:15 for bags of apples!! They will go fast so get there, quickly!!

Fall is ALL about the apple…don’t miss out!!!!

And, on a last note…Harvest. We are now in harvest season, and we want to show all of our local farmers some love. Be kind, especially on the roads. I have seen so many impatient drivers, this past week, behind farmers on the roads. Show some kindness, and remember…our local farmers feed us…

See everyone, tonight, at market pick up!!!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Sunday in the Country

Just a quick reminder that we will be closing the door to the reservations for the upcoming State Of The Plate, tomorrow, at noon!!

The event will take place, once again, at The Pretty Prairie Barn, and will be held this coming Sunday, October 4th, 12:30 until 3:00pm.

A beautiful setting with amazing local foods, a chance to meet many of your favorite vendors, and an afternoon in an amazing setting! You will also get to hear speakers like…Swisher Hill Herbs, End Of The Road Farms, Bad Seed Mustard, and your own market manager speaking on behalf of this little local market of love…

I would love to have a virtual market group of customers and vendors sharing tables, meeting, talking, getting to know who brings your food in, each week, and who is buying the local products from this market. An intimate afternoon of virtual market fun…breaking bread, getting to know each other, getting to know the real life stories of some of our vendors…

Mama Said...

…there’d be days like this…

Hello, lovely little market of love customers!!

Today was definitely one of those days where one mishap and was met with another mishap, an oven burn was met with another oven burn. Burned bread was met with, hey, another burned bread.

Each step I tried to take was met with nothing but irritation…

And then I arrived to the market to get it up and running. Late, I might add, because, well, I was dealing with burned fingers and burned bread!! But, then I regrouped, met up with my assistant managers, the customers, the staff of the YMCA, and at once, the day was suddenly a big love fest…the day was not so bad, the laughter and friendship was overpowering, and at once, I was back to the day…

Let this market turn your day around…let us supply you with the best of the best in local, while we shower you with love…

I open the market, tonight, for the week, again!!

We hope to see you all take advantage of the local goodness that we have to offer…

Mama said there’d be days like this…but you can turn it all around, make it easy on yourself, and know that you are doing it all, locally…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
