Hello Market Friends! Happy Valentine’s day <3

This is your Monday reminder that the Online Market is opening for ordering until 8 PM tonight for Wednesday pick-up.

I hope everyone held up during our little winter storm! We got about four inches of snow and ice up here in Whitetop and are still without power from the grid—wifi and landlines only just came back online! For us, that doesn’t happen often, but mountain life is mountain life, and we are fortunate to be prepared for it.

Check out the Online Market for seeds, fresh bread, eggs and more this week! March is just around the corner which means—Spring is close, it’s time to start those seedlings.
