Fresh Out The Kitchen: AUGUST 2026!
**This update is best viewed on a desktop or in Desktop Mode.**
But seriously, how is it now AUGUST??!!
Hey friends!
Heading in to create my monthly newsletter, and I came to the realization that I never sent my July newsletter! July literally came and went over here.
Things always tend to get a little crazy around here in July starting with 4th of July, our annual family vacation, diving deep into market season, and soaking up our last bits of summer as a family.
Each July, my family heads to the Shenandoah Valley for an annual trip to Massanutten, Va. This year was definitely one for the memory book...
We had a rocky start to kick off vacay this year. All the things leading up to leaving ended up derailed, and honestly, it followed us into the hills. My water pump offed itself in the middle of Civil War Battlefield USA - New Market, Va. There wasn't much around, but I am so grateful that even though it happened, it happened when/where/how it did. We ended up very lucky when I had called the referred garage - they helped refer me to someone with availability to get us back up and running ASAP. We still had some amazing experiences this year though - took a new route down and explored different areas - the paw paw tunnel, Route 11 Potato Chips, our annual trip to Noon Whistle Pottery and all other fave shops, took the girls canoeing, went down the mountain coaster, finally checked out the water park, a few local farmers markets, found an AWESOME spray ground!, had my Texas Grilled Cheese from Hank's, and more!
Now here we are, wrapping up July, and now only just a few weeks away from school. We have a few more fun things planned with the kiddos over the next few weekends, so my schedule will not have any walk-in hours for the next few weeks - pre-order pick ups only, and within a VERY limited timeframe. We are back to WESTERVILLE farmers market only. I will have some upcoming pop-ups with DrankTank for the Beechwold Brunch as I'm able. Our weekends are crazy for the next few months, so bear with me. I'll be participating in my first 5K, Savannah Bananas, Cedar Point, and more.
MY "UPCOMING" STORE HOURS :
CLOSED FRIDAYS - AUGUST 7TH, 14TH, 21ST (TBD)
FRIDAYS : IN STORE WALK INS : 1P - 6P
SATURDAYS : WESTERVILLE FARMERS MARKET - 9A - 12P
*I switch gears, and I prioritize prep in order to accommodate farmers market season. My in-store availability ends up VERY LIMITED. I open the store on FRIDAYS ONLY as I'm able, and Saturdays I am found at the market.
You can always verify this info via Google, my website, social media, etc.
Thanks for being here - You Belong Here.
OK, time to scroll for actual immediate updates
Peace, Love, & Pierogi,
Lizz
-INGREDIENT QUALITY- This is a QUALITY FIRST FACILITY. That means, I mindfully handcraft each flavor option using only high quality, fresh ingredients. I tend to shop small and locally as I'm able in order to produce them, especially during market season. The eggs that I use, as well as a decent amount of the meats found within my specialty pierogi, tend to be farmed locally. Experience the difference.
--ALLERGENS: Allergens found regularly include Dairy, egg, and wheat. Other major allergens that may be found in store regularly may include but are not limited to: Peanuts/tree nuts, soy, and possibly sesame. Please ask regarding specific allergens. All of my pierogi contain dairy, egg, and wheat-always.
- If needing to inquire about my business or placing a large order, PLEASE EMAIL ME ONLY @ [email protected] --- please allow time to respond, as again, I am the ONLY PERSON.
I do not check social media messages, as I'm not on there very often. If it is a time sensitive question regarding business hours, please be sure to check Google, Social Media, my Website, etc. In store availability is always found on social media stories each day that I am open. I attempt to update if things sell out, but sometimes, I am unable to due to working with customers. On Saturdays, I offer an additional update as I'm able as well.

What's Goin' On:

Fresh flavors available 7/31 & 8/1:
JULY 31ST: WALK IN - IN STORE: 1P - 6P
AUGUST 1ST: WESTERVILLE FARMERS MARKET: 9A - 12P

**I will have minimal quantities of Sweet Cheese available in store on Friday, and *possibly* at market.
*Flavors in italics with the asterisk (*) are more intricate specialty options. These options are always in a more limited quantity than those that are a standard mashed potato based recipe. Prep for these flavors takes a lot of additional time, especially when preparing these options on a larger scale. I handcraft these specialty flavors using my own recipes.
☆☆☆☆☆☆
*Next week's menu will be posted on Saturday 8/1 in the late evening. I will be MARKET ONLY (with very minimal pre-order pickup ONLY available for Friday. This is due to losing a prep day and needing to be able to accommodate the farmers market. I will be closed on Fridays for walk-ins until the kiddos are back in school. See you at the market!
--UPDATES TO FARMERS MARKET SCHEDULE--
This is a pretty big update, and I'm super bummed about it. Due to some circumstances beyond my control, I had to make the decision to withdraw myself from the Clintonville farmers market at this time, and will continue to be found at WESTERVILLE FARMERS MARKET ONLY. It's possible that I may choose to close out my season there in October once Westerville closes, but I will keep you posted on that info as it gets closer!
In the meantime, I will still be planning on adding some Beechwold Brunch's with DrankTank soon, so be on the lookout for updates!
--SAMBUCA'S GREENHOUSE & MARKET
Sambuca's Greenhouse & Market has frozen options available in their main freezer (when you first walk-in)! Please be sure to check out what's available there - They're open 7 days/week from 9A-8P . Be sure to grab some fresh things from some of your other local favorites as well as hit the greenhouses while you're there - they also offer a fresh deli, fresh produce, lotto, & more. A little bit of everything for everyone...
Sambuca's Market is located at 577 Walnut St, Galena, OH 43021
---MORE MODIFIED HOURS ON THE WAY
Please be aware that my schedule is always subject to change based on my personal availability. Friday availability will be minimal for a little while. I will take on VERY MINIMAL pre-orders during that time. My prep schedule is significantly reduced due to personal obligations, and I have to be able to accommodate prep for the market. Thanks for understanding.
I WILL BE CLOSED ON FRIDAYS STARTING AUGUST 7TH. FRIDAYS WILL RESUME AUGUST 28TH. There will be minimal pre-order availability on Fridays at this time while closed.
--PRE-ORDERS
Pre-orders are not required to enjoy my fresh pierogi! Pre-orders are always prepped *in addition* to my standard par levels for store/market. When you plan ahead, so can I, and it allows me to be able to accommodate more of you!
Pre-ordering is ALWAYS available Saturday evenings - Tuesdays at 10am with the upcoming week's fresh offerings, unless specified elsewhere. Why doesn't pre-ordering remain open beyond that? All fillings are scratch made fresh. Some flavors are batched smaller than others. As a micro-biz, I am not equipped to handle a large swing in quantities post initial prep.
I CLOSE OFF PRE-ORDERS AS NEEDED BASED ON VOLUME. *If my system is "no longer taking orders" before the Tuesday cutoff, that means that I am unable to take additional orders.
All orders, with the exception of orders for 5+ dozen (pierogi), are to be placed directly through the website. Orders for 5+ dozen please email me at [email protected] in order to confirm availability. You will be invoiced from there once details have been confirmed.
I am probably forgetting to mention a million and one things, but I do not have any other updates at this time! I will continue to send out additional emails as needed to communicate upcoming schedule Mods or other announcements. I can't wait to see you all back in store soon!
Peace, love, & pierogi,
Lizz
