Farm Stand Wednesday

Farm Stand Wednesday

Join us at the farm for Farm Stand Wednesday!

This farm stand Wednesday is a little different, but bare with us as we make a slight transition. And read carefully.

We are excited to be partnering with the Transition 2 class from one of our local high schools and will be starting something new beginning Wednesday, Sept. 3 when we partner with Oh My Chives, a local breakfast and lunch market.

Partnering with this business gives us the opportunity to have an indoor market each Wednesday through the fall and winter months as well as give individuals with disabilities on-the-job training at The Broody Hen. We will be selling our baked goods and veggies at Oh My Chives on Wednesdays from 8:40-10:40. That which does not sell will be at the farm stand on Kidd Road from 4:00-7:00 pm where we will host an honor system pickup and pay.

Prior to Sept. 3 we are hosting a pre-order for a 4-7 pm pickup and pay using the honor system to help everyone adjust to this change.

Per usual, we will have duck and chicken eggs, sourdough bread, honey, tallow skin care, blueberry lemon zest jam, handmade game-day bracelets and so much more!

Thank you for your continued support as we transition!

Hope you can stop by Wednesday for your regular goods.
