Bread donations for the Tornado Victims


Thanks to 6635 StudeBaker for the great pictures on our Facebook page of her personal project to help the Victims of the recent Tornadoes.

She took her good, wholesome organic ingredients, used a 1905 recipe for Everyday Bread, and mixed them up in an early 20th century hand crank dough mixer.

After baking the loaves in her wood fired outdoor bake oven, those loaves of hope and care were delivered to Good Neighbor House in Dayton.

She may have said the bread was only a drop in the bucket, but I say they’re an inspiration!

We're Open for Orders!


We’re Back for another exciting week of fresh, local goodness! Both Phil and Matt Buehler Farms with our Pork, and J & S Buehler Family Farm with our Eggs and Beef, will return next week!

You may have noticed 6635 Studebaker absent from the Market this week, but never fear, she’ll be back next week with all her organic favorites, including sourdoughs, biscuits, pasta, and those addictive crackers!

And the Buehler family will also be on vacation from the Market for one week only, starting next Tuesday… That includes their pork, beef, and Landon’s famous eggs!!

Be sure to check the Market for our cool, crisp salad greens, brand new pretzels, healthy local proteins, fresh herbs, and more! Pies baked the day you pick them up?! You gotta love local and fresh!! :-)

New Winner, Organic Eggs, and More!!


Congratulations to our next Refer A Friend program Winner, and recipient of a $10 Virtual Market gift certificate…

Jamie VanTilburgh!

For our new customers, here’s how it works… When you refer someone new to our Market, we’ll ask them at pickup how they heard about Miami County Locally Grown!

Then when they drop your name, you are entered in our monthly drawing for a $10 Virtual Market gift certificate! Good on any purchase, and doesn’t expire!

So keep those referrals coming, and thanks for helping spread the word!

Plus, more big news this week -

Bair Trax Dairy again has Pastured Eggs from their organically fed chickens to offer! Yay :-)

And Doc Allen of Troy’s beloved Pumpkin Patch let us know tonight he hopes to pull Fresh Spring HONEY soon! How deliciously exciting!

Lastly, Congrats to the lucky customers who snatched the extra Asparagus and Lettuce at pickup tonight! There’ll be extra goodies and produce up for grabs at pickup each week!

Thank you for your continued support, and Happy Shopping!

Last chance to order for Memorial Day!


With grilling options and convenient choices to please a crowd, we’ve got your local beef, pork and chicken! All kinds of patties, brats, wings (and if you ask Phil Buehler, you can’t go wrong grilling bacon and pork chops!)

Plus meat specials and samplers where you’ll save with bulk options!

And the freshest local veggies around, including those indispensable salad greens are calling you to make a burger!

We’re open til 8pm tonight :-)

Congratulations to Michael's Pastured Poultry!


Here’s the latest news from Michael Bair, of Michael’s Pastured Poultry!

Two new additions to our Market family!


What a day! Congratulations are certainly in order!

Yesterday morning Ryan and Bree Leach of Live Simply Live Richly Farm welcomed Mila Jo, their 3rd child, into the world – incredibly, just 3 hours after Lee and I were Blessed with our 5th, Anna Rose! Good thing for the midwife our End of the Road Farm is only 20 minutes from the Leach family! ;-).

Everyone is doing well, and how wonderful to see their 2 other children and our other 4 enthralled with the new additions! Don’t you just love the newness of Spring?!

What will you find this week!!??


I don’t know how you did it, but somehow all of you incredible customers made tonight, with our biggest sales of the year, the easiest pickup night as well!

Thanks to everyone not only for shopping and supporting fresh, local food, but also for trickling in to pickup, with nicely spaced apart arrivals on a night when I sure needed there not to be a line out the door! ;-)

Have I ever mentioned how much I love this Market? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
