๐ Happy Birthday, Ma! ๐
This year's Ma's Place Farmers Market on Sunday, August 16th is extra special because we're celebrating the life and legacy of the woman who inspired it allโPauline Bussey Peeler, lovingly known as "Ma" or "Granny."
Ma was born on August 4, 1925, and we can't think of a better way to honor her than by filling her homeplace with family, friends, neighbors, laughter, and community.
๐ก A Little History of Ma's Place
The building you know today as Ma's Place is the very home where Ma lived beginning in 1961. It was here that she lovingly raised 12 children. After her husband, Mahlon Carl Peeler, passed away in 1969, Ma continued raising most of her children on her own with incredible strength, faith, and determination.
Over the years, this home became the gathering place for countless children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends, and neighbors. It was filled with love, home-cooked meals, laughter, and memories that still live on today.
Many people in our community remember Ma for her warm heart, welcoming spirit, and her signature phrase...
"Ain't that right!" โค๏ธ
Today, the house has been beautifully renovated so it can continue bringing people togetherโjust as Ma always did.
