If you’re out and about, consider stopping by one of our community sponsors! Looks yummy!

Farmstand is open today from 9:00 a.m. until sold out. I put everything out this morning and will not be restocking due to the heat that we will be having this afternoon. I suggest coming early because I can't guarantee quality of items after a couple of hours with this heat. All pre-orders are out and ready to be picked up. There are multiples of everything from this week's menu out there for FCFS as well. Plus we have the cute little fresh floral arrangements in a little teacup sets as well this weekend. Come on out! (The oatmeal cream pies, scones, and another one or two items will most likely go very quickly.)
