Don’t Let the Construction Deter You! ❤️

Historic Downtown Van Buren is OPEN and ready for you! While Main Street upgrades are underway and the 300 block of Main Street is temporarily closed, there’s still plenty to see, shop, eat, and explore!

🛍️ Start on the 200 block, then detour around the 300 block by strolling across the historic grounds of the Crawford County Courthouse. From there, pick right back up on the 400 block and make your way to Freedom Park! 🌳

It’s a great time to stroll downtown, discover a new shop, grab a bite, and enjoy the charm and history of Van Buren along the way.

Come downtown. Shop local. Support local.

And if you're worried about parking, we've got you covered!

Brought the whole crew today for the drop at the Main Street Mercantile before hitting the Hwy 64 Galore!
Restocked on regeneratively raised, organically fed, air chilled breast, legs, thighs and wings from Rudy!
Also brought in some more easy to digest, delicious creamy goat milk. The heat has been hard on these girls and we are trying to keep up with the demand!
