Get Your Thanksgiving Bulk Orders In Soon!
Greetings!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than TWO weeks away?

With our favorite food holiday coming right up, it's time to start planning for your Thanksgiving meals by coming to visit us at markets and/or placing a special bulk order of organic goods at bulk pricing - some to cook and some to store for winter.

I say Thanksgiving "meals" because for us it's going to be a luxuriously extended time of cooking and eating at my household while we cozy up together and take a rest from farming and remote schooling.

Check out our recipe ideas, what we have at markets, and when we're open!
