Saturday… Will the heat break today? Let’s hope so. The store is showing signs of a very busy Thursday and Friday. Inventory remains good, though we may run short on some popular items. In recognition of Labor Day, we’ve put ground beef on sale: 10 one-pound packages for $68. A minimum 10-pound purchase is required to receive the sale price. Today’s produce includes onions, potatoes, green peppers, snack peppers, green beans, and zucchini. Baked goods are limited to one apple pie, individual blueberry pies, individual-sized cakes, one coffee cake, pumpkin donuts, and a few loaves of bread. Apples sold out quickly, so we’ll be certain to increase inventory next week. Several half-gallon bottles of Jonamac Apple Cider are still available in the cooler. Half Acre Pantry has an excellent supply of meal kits and seasonings. Firewood bundles are available for $6 each. Mums remain at last year’s price of $15 each. Store hours today are 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Friday… Every day, it seems there’s another recall on another food item. What the heck? Rest assured, all of our meat comes directly from the farm, and everything else comes from local, small producers. The store was buzzing with activity yesterday as everyone prepared for Labor Day weekend. We are still well stocked on most items, except milk. We are down to just a few bottles of chocolate milk. As mentioned yesterday, we now have Jonamac Orchard’s apple cider. It was pressed Thursday and is especially refreshing on these terribly hot days. The weather will change soon, and fall will be upon us. Lynette’s fall florals will set the mood in your home for the change in seasons and our beautiful selection of mums will look stunning adorning your home. Pumpkins will be arriving next week and always look nice this time of year. We have received numerous calls about purchasing quarters, halves, and whole beef, as well as half and whole hogs. We butcher steers monthly and are currently taking orders for October and November. Once those slots are filled, we will not butcher again until January 2027. The current price is $4.25 per pound hanging weight, plus processing. Hogs are butchered monthly as well. If you are interested in purchasing bulk meat, stop by the store to fill out a cut sheet and make a deposit, or call us for more information. We can complete the cut sheet and take the deposit over the phone. Store hours today are 9:00 to 5:30.

Update... We just stocked the cooler with Jonamac apple cider in pints and half gallon sizes plus a variety of their delicious apples (Honey Crisp, Zestar, and Jonamac).

Thursday….Labor Day weekend and for many it is the end of summer, yet Mother Nature has other plans with this intense heat. I am so over this heat and humidity and ready for a change in the seasons. Labor Day means family gatherings, cook-outs, festivals, and other fun times. We have a great selection of steaks, burgers, briskets, spareribs, pork chops, brats, and hot dogs for grilling. Pulled pork is back in stock in small and large containers. Also restocked is whole chickens and boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cod and salmon. If you prefer, we have a selection of frozen pizzas including extra cheesy, pepperoni, Italian sausage, Breakfast, Butcher’s Blend, and Italian Beef. It’s too hot to heat up the kitchen, so let our bakers do the baking for you. This week’s line-up of delicious desserts and sour dough breads includes fruit pies, cookies, cakes, pumpkin donuts, and sour dough breads. Holy Grain will also be providing the store with gluten-free breads and cookies. This heat is hard on the hens, but they are still producing well providing us with a good supply of their eggs going into the weekend. In the cooler you will find a selection of teas and lemonades and vintage sodas for a refreshing treat. The produce is here and includes tomatoes, red and white potatoes, sweet onions, sweet snack peppers, cabbage, garlic, green beans, cucumbers, and zucchini. Sorry folks but the cantaloupe season has ended and there were no watermelons this weekend. We added more mums for your enjoyment; colors include yellow, white, red, burgundy, orange, and bronze. Store hours today are 9:00 to 5:30.

Even cattle love our sweet corn. When the corn got too mature, we turned it into cattle feed.

Saturday….Beef freezer has been completely restocked to meet your needs. Plenty of pork and whole chickens, cod, salmon, pizzas, meat sticks, and hot dogs. Milk is sold out. Eggs are on sale today for $2 per dozen. Baked goods have been moving well and there are still some treasures left today including a few loaves of sour dough bread, egg bread, artisan breads, coffee cakes, and individual sized cakes, plus Rhonda’s homemade peanut butter balls and turtles. Produce lineup includes 2 cantaloupes (which may be the last for the season), 3 watermelons, tomatoes, garlic, sweet onions, red potatoes, loads of green beans, cucumbers, zucchini, and beets. Mums have arrived and are gorgeous. The price is $15 each. Store hours today are 8:30 to 4:00.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to keep our store stocked with delicious beef? Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look. On Friday, Denny and Blondie were on the road by 5:45 a.m., taking steers to Johnson’s to be processed for customer orders. They were back home by 8:45. From there, Denny headed to the butcher shop to pick up meat from two steers we had taken in three weeks ago, then returned to the store to unload and restock the freezers. After that, it was time to feed the cattle. Meanwhile, Denny received a call from his cattle buyer, who had secured the cattle he needed for the feedlot. After chores, Denny and Blondie headed out again to pick up the new cattle. They were back home by 6:30 p.m. and called it a day around 7:30 after getting the new cattle settled, fed, and watered. It wasn’t a typical day, but it shows some of the work that happens behind the scenes to provide quality beef for our store. We do not buy beef from Argentina or Brazil, and we never buy boxed meat to cut and wrap. We sell only our own beef in our store. The picture of these handsome guys are the cattle purchased Friday and these will be ready to fulfill customer orders in about 6 to 8 months.

Restock at Pfeiffer Farms Fresh Market, Inc.

Some great coffees available! Stop by Thursday to Saturday and check out all the delicious products they have for sale!

Finally gonna do some sample roasting this morning. I’ve got three new coffees just waiting for me to get to, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to try them out. Should have them added to the menu by end of the weekend.

Hair Express is stocked with bottled cold brew so be sure to stop in and grab a bottle if you’re looking for a cold delicious caffeine fix.

And as always, if you want something custom roasted send me a message and we can arrange porch pick up.

Of course, we also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Cindy Knight, who plans, troubleshoots, and keeps this event organized from start to finish. It takes a full year to pull everything together, line up vendors, and prepare for just about any situation. She does so much behind the scenes, and we are truly grateful.

A special thank you also goes to Roiel Scoop Finest Ice Cream, who stepped in at the last minute when we unexpectedly found ourselves without an ice cream vendor. Roiel Scoop arrived ready to serve and had a line throughout the entire event, which tells us the ice cream was a hit. We are happy to share that they have agreed to return next year.

Finally, thank you to all of our visitors. You are the reason this day is so special, and we appreciate each and every one of you. By attending, you support local small businesses and help us continue serving the community and our families. We are already looking forward to welcoming you back next year on August 7, 2027.
