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.

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.
