Our favorite Phil is Famous!


Who else but our very own Phil O’Buehler would be driving the tractor his father bought back in 1954 in the McCartyville St Patrick’s Day Parade yesterday?! And of course it’s GREEN – the first diesel John Deere!!

Check out our Facebook page for some great pictures (thanks go out to his wife Joan!!) of our favorite pork producer having a high time – and thank goodness it was clear blue skies instead of these incredible “I think this is more than flurries” flurries!

I’ve never dreamt of a white St Patrick’s Day – but wishing you all a Happy Day regardless ;-)

And be sure to check out all the Buehler family Specials on the Market this week! We’re open til 8pm!

We're open til 9!!


We’re open til 9pm tonight for everyone who has forgotten or who’s body/mind has yet to adjust to Daylight Savings Time :-)

And after reading a recent report about the end of recycling in America, as it’s so cost prohibitive for municipalities to recycle, that large and small, many are sending their carefully sorted recyclables to be incinerated instead of reused, once again I have to be encouraged that it’ll be the small, grassroots local organizations to step in and save the day, when the large corporate systems fail us yet again.

Case in point – each week that you return packaging, containers, egg cartons, glass jars, plastic, paper, and cloth bags, and the like, you help out small family producers in yet another way, save yourself money by saving us on packaging, and help save the environment – not bad, folks, not bad at all.

And occasionally I get an even more unusual surprise, such as this past Tuesday when one of our stellar customers, Sarah, brought in an absolutely adorable tin stamped “Locally Grown Farmer’s Market”, that she saw in a shop and just couldn’t pass up, because where would that fit better than at our events and display table at pick-up?! Wow!!

What a great group of folks – have I mentioned how much I love this community? Thanks so much, Sarah, and keep those recyclables coming!!

Whether you’re looking for Gluten Free, Sugar Free, or just a good old-fashioned dessert, we are so Happy to have The Farmhouse Bakery back on the Market this week!

And check out our Facebook page to see the most darling pictures of their recent vacation to Mexico – glad they had a fantastic trip, and grateful they shared some photos that make me remember how beautiful summer temps can be!

Speaking of sweet treats, have you seen the new Cookie Dough Fudge from Mucci’s Sweet Treats?! Marinda sure knows how to make you say Mmmmmm!!

And don’t worry – 6635 Studebaker will return next week with all your favorite fruit bars, pastas, crackers, and other assorted organic goodies ;-)
