We now have a new permanent location at 1120 Washington St. We will celebrate our new season on Saturday and Sunday, May 22 & 23. 2010. There will be specials, door prizes, new products and great produce. There will also be a display of art photography by Chef Daniel Orr as we celebrate carrying his line of products.
You won't want to miss the local strawberries, tomatoes, asparagus, Brother's Beef, eluna coffee, or Amish baked goods. Be sure to stop by and celebrate with us and bring a friend.
A Successful Season!
Our First Year at the Store
What a wonderful first year! We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know our customers and we look forward to next year when we will bring you an even better selection of fresh local produce, food and plants.
We are already planning all the great things we are going to grow and we are networking with other farmers to bring you a wide variety of local food.
We'll see you in the spring!
Grand Opening Date Set for May 13-16, 2009!
Join Us As We Celebrate
We finally have a date. The store will be open on Wednesday, May 13th with our Grand Opening celebration set for Friday and Saturday, May 15-16. Stop by for special offers and great plants, flowers, eggs and produce.
We have a million things to do as we get the store ready to open, but we are so excited to finally be open and ready to sell. Hope to see you there!
Store Location Finalized
We Have a Store!
After 7 months of searching, negotiating and dealing with city codes we finally have a store. We have signed a lease on a property at 803 Washington St in downtown Columbus. We will begin renovations soon and we should be ready to sell those fresh spring fruit and veggies in early May.
At Work on the Farm.
The Healy and Moses children hard at work.
If you had the chance to stop by our booth at Fair on the Square this past summer you probably met some of our children. They are a great asset and they love to help out when ever they can. They are planning their contributions to the market this summer. Their plans include raising and selling quail for pets, meat and eggs, a large heirloom tomatoe garden, growing heirloom vegetable plants and helping out at the store.
Our Amish Friends
A visit to the Graber Farm
Most of you probable realize that the Amish do not want to have
their pictures taken. Instead we will bring you pictures of their farms
and gardens and stories about the different families that are growing
vegetables for our market. This picture was taken at the Graber Farm
during a visit on December 30. The Graber Family will be growing
tomatoes, swiss chard, okra, lettuce, sweet corn, peas, raspberries,
blackberries, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, butternut squash, herbs
and gourds. They use all natural products on their garden which they
purchase from "Gardens Alive" right here in Indiana. Mrs Graber makes
the best butternut squash pie I have ever tasted. Admittedly I have
only tasted hers, but it was incredible. We will bring you the recipe
this fall when the butternut squash are ripe.
