We are OPEN for orders, with NEW vendors, and great SALES!!


Tonight we welcome two new vendors to the market…

Andrea Littlejohn, of Covington Cheese Company, with her swiss cheese!! Made from the raw milk of a local dairy, Andrea’s cheeses are natural, delicious, and oh so healthy… we’re so fortunate to have her handmade artisan cheese on board!

Also welcome Bill and Jeanne Sink of Greenlee Farm, from right here in Troy! From their high tunnel, they’ll offer chemical free produce – including the cucumbers, kale, and chard that is now on the market!

Plus, our newest sales…

6635 StudeBaker and McGuffey Herb and Spice Co have teamed up to offer the ultimate duo – crusty baguettes and Normandy herbal cheese mix – perfect together, and both on sale this week!

Also, Adams Greenhouse is offering their non-gmo and soy free brown eggs for $1 off when you buy 2 dozen!!

And I’m pleased to share this note from Covington Cheese Company!!

“Hello Everyone! We’re happy to be in the Miami County Locally Grown family. Thought we’d ease our way in with an offering of Mikey’s Swiss! It’s not your usual Swiss. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the naturally sweet flavor and consistency.

We deliver the most natural cheese product we can… made simply with raw milk, cultures, rennet, fermentation and salt. It’s full of good probiotics and made with love."

On that happy note, have fun shopping,
and as always, thanks so much for your support!

Order while you can!


When you’re relaxing in the shade today, enjoying the feel of summer
and placing your market order, REMEMBER:

Snatch up some honey while it’s still ON SALE!! The bees’ busy activity is our gain – Pumpkin Patch is still offering their first new honey of the year at a great sale price! $3 off a quart, and $2 off a pint of acacia honey, made from the locust tree! Most delicate in flavor!

This weather just begs you to grill something for dinner, and we can help! Not just in the meat dept but with a crazy assortment of spices and rubs to meet all your flavoring needs!

Our Recipes section of the website has enough variety to inspire anyone :-)

Also Jeanne’s Kitchen will be with me at pick-up Tuesday evening with her tasty jams and baked goods for your sampling pleasure!

And we are THRILLED to have Covington Cheese Company joining our market family next week! Raw milk artisan cheeses made locally from a local dairy?! I am not kidding, folks, you will be AMAZED!

But we’re open until 8pm tonight!

Sign up for our first Farm Tour!


To kick off our farm tour series, we’ll head South of Tipp City to 6635 StudeBaker Road, where Deb Spencer will delight and amaze you with her beautiful farm and gorgeous outdoor brick bake oven!

Join us on Wednesday June 28th, 2017 at 9:30am for a GUIDED tour of 6635 StudeBaker, “History in the Baking”!

The focus will be centered around the bake oven and wood fired baking, old methods and recipes, tools of the trade… a little history lesson may sneak in! With samples of pita bread right out of the oven and baked goods for sale, this is sure to be a unique outing.

I’ve taken several classes Deb has offered in past years, everything from cooking and baking to sewing and quilting, and I both appreciate her knowledge and love her inimitable style. But be warned… she has a habit of making things appear VERY easy!!

Register now for this FREE event by signing up under our Farm Tours category on The Market website – SPACE IS LIMITED to 30 registrants! Ages 12 and up are welcome – Deb will offer a more kid-friendly tour at a later date.

Congratulations to the Buehler family!


Our market family just continues to grow!

A heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Josh and Stephanie Buehler, of J and S Buehler Family Farm…

We are thrilled to learn of the birth of their fourth child, Marissa Anne,
and even happier to know everything went well!

And kudos to that loveable jokester and proud Grandpa Phil Buehler, who not only remembered the sex and the name at vendor dropoff today, but also the weight (7lbs even) , the length (21"), and that it was a “perfect birth”! I’ve gotta say, I’m impressed, even if Phil said he studied his cheat sheet in the truck before he came in to share the news!

So as the market opens tonight, be sure to check out this week’s new products and specials,
those brats from King’s everyone loved sampling at pick-up,
the FIRST STOP on our Farm Tour Series at 6635 StudeBaker…

And here’s hoping little Marissa is a FANTASTIC sleeper :-)
