2 Weeks from tomorrow

The summer farm market in Appleton is just 2 weeks away.

I picked up some of my meat from the butcher today.  It's time to get organized, start planning and get things ready for opening day.

It will be a busy day for everyone.  And with Father's Day being the next day, items for the grill will be most popular.  If you want to order ahead to have things reserved for you, just go to our contact page and email or call.  Remember, when you order ahead you get 5% off.  (does not include chicken)  and if you pick out one of the special Father's day boxes, they are an even bigger savings.

Father's Day boxes can be picked up before the 16th by contacting me soon, I can drop them off at Natural Expressions Bakery near Plauman Park on the north side of Appleton.  Then you can pick them up at your convenience.
