Sneak peek of our new store on the Pittsfield square.

Finishing touches are coming soon. Your excitement about opening day is wonderful—thank you. We’re working to get it right the first time and will open as soon as we are able to do so.

Much easier than using a broom for all of the packing styrofoam pieces all over the floor. We’ll have a little sneak peek of how things are coming along, inside the store, tomorrow.

📣 FALL FESTIVAL PARADE ROUTE UPDATE 🎉

The Pittsfield Fall Festival Parade will have a slightly different route this year, so please take note!

📍 NEW PARADE ROUTE:
The parade will travel down Memorial Street as usual, but instead of turning onto Adams Street, it will continue down Monroe Street for approximately half a block before the parade comes to an end.

Why the change?
Following the parade, the Fall Festival will be hosting the Drum Line Competition on Adams Street. Keeping the parade route on Monroe Street will allow the competition to take place on Adams immediately following the parade.

🗺️ Please see the attached map for the updated parade route and event area.

If you have questions about the Fall Festival, please contact David, Cera, or Cindy Forshey.

For additional Fall Festival information, updates, and announcements, visit the Pittsfield Fall Festival Facebook Group.

Thank you for helping us make this year's Fall Festival a great one! 🍂🎶

Little by little, the Pittsfield store is coming together. We don’t have an opening date yet. We’d rather open it right — with quality — than rush just to say we’re open. Thank you for your patience.

We’re in the news! They mentioned and showed our new Pittsfield store on the segment as well.

We were in a sea of appliances yesterday. Great day for a delivery too…in the rain. We had some wonderful help.

It’s starting to look more like a store than just an open space.

We now have a little informational sign on the door.

Slowly but surely; we’re getting there! And no, we do not have an opening date yet—I’ll announce that when everything is almost together.

We completed our high tunnel. The hope it extends our growing season, and generates more produce for our stores. 🌱

We had Father Schulte come by to bless the store yesterday. We have had him bless all of our stores, farm equipment, etc. He’s a great priest.
