FARM MARKET PREPARATIONS



Busy, busy, busy!  I'm bustling around today with shopping for ingredients and packaging for my cottage food production of breads, jams, jellies, and cookies to go along with the brown eggs we have to sell. On Fridays, I'll be baking for our farm market which will be held on Saturday from 12 to 6 at our farm near Chillicothe, Ohio. So excited!!!

I'd like to add popcorn and pies to the list of offerings as soon as possible. Later, in season, we'll have plants, fruits and vegetables. On the livestock side, Chris will be offering his blended feeds and bales of hay. We're starting small but will have a few different offerings each week along with a steady supply of breads and eggs.

In the meantime, there are things to be done: Get the trailer ready and moved. Make the signs. 
Cook and bake. Package and label.
Spread the word! 
Farm Market, Blaine Hwy 3 miles off U.S. Route 23.  Saturday, 12 to 6. 
Look for a vintage Airstream Camper in front of an old barn.
(Our farm is near the KC Raceway.)

This will be so much fun!!! We'll have very tasty products made with great care and select ingredients.

  2. Thanks, dr momi! I figured, like you, make things easier for the reader! I'd like to do several other changes to the blog as time permits, like making recipes easier to find. The next two weeks will be crazy busy though, as I try to not only create demand but meet it with what customers want. Then, it's bake time! Fun Fridays!!!

  3. That does sound exciting to be able to start so early. Wish I could come. Much luck to you! By the way, I read something the other day that said when you prepare your food with love it actually changes the chemical structure of the food and it tastes sweeter and is more nutritious. I'm a believer - and I knew you would be too : )
