We are restocked on Papa Baldy’s Popcorn and we received some new books & sourdough starter kits.

We also plan to keep eggs for at least a week or two. These come from the Stanberry Amish Community in Missouri - large, brown, free-range eggs, AND they always come with this darling little quips of poetry & encouragement. $4/dozen (We plan to keep eggs as long as the local Dollar General is remodeling and will decide later if it will be a permanent item.)

We have a freezer at the store up and running again! It’s a little bit bigger than our previous one, and we are excited to be able to offer a greater variety of frozen foods. It does have a few quirks that we are figuring out - namely that the doors need adjusted to close automatically, so for now, please double check to make sure that they are closed. Thank you!

THANK YOU to all our patient neighbors who have graciously humored them as they’ve gone around town selling it.

Happy Cinnamon Roll Day! As of 8:00 p.m. on Friday, we still have quite a few left, so here’s your chance if you missed the early ones! We have some nice California peaches, local tomatoes, jalapenos, zucchini, cucumbers, & potatoes right now, and we’ll soon be swimming in sweet corn and Colorado peaches. (Info below.)

FREEZER UPDATE

Our freezer in the store is still down - we expect the new one to be delivered next week. In the meantime, here is our list of available items that we are keeping in our kitchen freezers - feel free to call me and I’ll bring them out to you! 785-443-1796

SWEET CORN

Each year, a local farmer generously donates a field of sweet corn to the local Trail Life Troop to sell as a fundraiser, which they think will begin to be ready in the next week! We’ll buy corn from them to sell in the store, but if you’d like to have them deliver sweet corn to you, feel free to fill out the form below. It is free will donation - and since everyone asks for a suggested amount, $5-10/dozen is a good range. (We will be selling it for $8/dozen in the store.) The pictures above are our boys, last year, when they were still shorter than me. *sigh

COLORADO PEACHES

Another local farm girl we love is taking on the enterprise of coordinating a Colorado peach shipment and we’re partnering with her to be a delivery/pick up point. Like the sweet corn, I’ll be buying some from her to sell in the store (and for the continued baking of peach pies), but you can order whole or half lugs directly from her. Click here for more information.

7/3/2026 Update - Mini Meals, Flowers, Local Veggies, Cherry Pie, & Fish Fry

Today is cinnamon roll day! (Every Friday). We have maple, vanilla and plain rolls today.

We also made Banana Bread, Cherry Pie, Razzle Dazzle Pie, Peach Crumb Pie and Apple Pie.

FYI, we are needing some work done on our retail freezer, so it is currently empty. We do have everything listed below and plan to stay home for the weekend. If there’s anything you would like, don’t hesitate to call and we’ll bring it out to you! 785-443-1796

A new delivery of flowers came on Wednesday. We received some nice large shade hanging baskets and combo pots, as well as some heat-loving, wind-defying small hanging baskets with Mezoo and Portulaca, as well as large full-sun pots.
