What types of food can you get at winter Farmers Markets? Most fruits and veggies are not in season, so you may think it's not worth it to visit a Farmers Market every weekend. But there are plenty of other wonderful foods and gifts you can buy each week! Meats, bath products, baked goods, fish, chocolates, candles, and more. Head over to one of our Farmers Markets this weekend to see what's for sale.
Have you visited the Long Stone Farm Stand yet? Here's the scoop on how it works.
We have a lot of new followers, so here is a quick overview of our farm stand (which will be open three years in April)!
It’s located on our farm and you get a good view of where and how your food is produced. Our store is an honor system self-serve store. All prices are marked on products so you ring yourself up and leave money in our secure money box. Cash or check is accepted. No one is at the store, although I (Casey) am usually around the farm if you need me or have a question! My cell is phone is written in several areas.
We are open 8am-8pm daily. The store is small, certainly nothing fancy. It is the only place you can shop for all our products. It works great for our farm and family. And yes, people respect the system and we do not have theft issues (#1 question we receive).
Hope to see you soon!
