No Fridge? No Eggs!

We have a major problem – our fridge bit the dust. The repairman (kudos to Craig Hughes of Tin Roof Mobile Food for always knowing the right guy to call in any situation!) smiled knowingly at me as I paid him to tell me my options were to put $1,000 into a new compressor, more money than she was worth, or buy another used unit.

Until we raise enough money to replace it, we have nowhere to legally store Eggs and certain Baked Goods such as the Cream Pies!!

Not only that, but because our fridge was double the size of our commercial freezer, at the suggestion of Miami County Public Health, we were using the bottom of the double fridge to store all of the meat sold each week! Double whammy!

After paying our rent, health department license, and expenses to date, we have no extra funds to purchase a new appliance this year… the 3% fee paid by customers on every order goes directly to the webmaster, and the vendors contribute 10% of their sales, along with the donations we take in from customers on the website or in person at pick-up.

As a “not for profit” but not actually a non-profit, we are ineligible for funds from wonderful area organizations such as the Troy Foundation or the Miami County Foundation.

And unfortunately both J & S Buehler and Hidden Springs Farm have second batches of chickens who are now laying steady and ready to supply us with more eggs than ever before – that for the foreseeable future, we cannot sell! :-(

Thank you for your patience and support while we find a workable solution!

Anyone willing to donate to our fridge fund, we’ll love you more than we already do :-)

Here’s hoping everything goes smoothly for everyone else the rest of the week!!
