The Buehler's meats and eggs will be back!

The Buehler families, with their beef, pork, and eggs, are only on break from the Market temporarily, and will be back with us the first week of February!

It’s thrilling to have fresh local produce in January – there’s nothing better than seeing a room full of vibrant greens to brighten my Tuesday!

The use of the word Local intrigues me – the federal government and groceries stores still define Local goods as those produced within 500 miles of your location, the distance they figure a semi can drive in one day – yesterday the kids were looking at pictures of places my husband and I have visited or lived, so we looked up a few, only to find Davenport IA, Traverse City MI, and St. Louis MO are all within 500 highway miles of us. Amazing. Glad we define Local as within 30 miles of First Place :-)

We’re also so fortunate to still have eggs on the Market, during the worse time of year for laying – between the cold, the short day length and resulting lack of sunshine, the hens proclivity for molting (when they grow new feathers each year they stop laying!! Ugh!!), the up and down weather, and the unbelieveable variety of wily poultry predators day and night, I’m ecstatic we ever consistently have any eggs to sell at all!

Thanks for shopping with us, supporting our family businesses and farms, and keeping your dollars in our community. Enjoy the glorious sunshine today!!
