TIME…..13 years ago today I built my first Hoophouse by hand. It served as a great plant nursery for the six years I was at the original farm.

Lots of GOOD MEMORIES and I’m proud of myself to see just how far I’ve come.

Last Fall Indoor Market today. I am buried in baby carrots so I'm running a SPECIAL 2 for $10. Come grab up these extra sweet December treats!!

Today is the day! It's our LAST Fall Indoor Market of the year!

We have farmers, bakers, food makers, and artisans!

Come enjoy seasonal eating in December....it's perhaps even more delightful on your tastebuds and definitely more beneficial for our local economy.

Thank you to all that have come and shopped with our amazing vendors. Less than four months until outdoor market season begins in April!

Happy Holidays! ❤🎄⛄🔔
