Historic Farmer’s Market & Music On The Porch

07/24/2026

Lineup for Saturday, July 25th from 9-noon on the back lot of 217 West Main is as follows:

Quandt’s Produce: so they have everything. The red and yellow peppers, potatoes, Garlic, Lisa’s heirloom tomatoes, Candy onions, watermelon, cantaloupe and sweet corn fed several people at our home last Sunday! The best ever!! The boys will carry your purchases to your car and they are very kind and fun!

Nana’s Kitchen: last week, they sold out of her blackberry pies very early! I hope she makes more! We had her pistachio loaf and it was superb!!

Shelby’s Farm Eggs: I love how so many younger people are homesteading these days. Kudos to you Shelby!

Uncle Randy’s Sweets & More: so the pickled beets are as good as what my grandma Alice used to make and that is saying something! His pickles are amazing too. I have not opened the jar of pickled garlic yet, but I’m sure it is amazing!

SWAG: the pulled pork was superb last week! Hoping for breakfast burritos tomorrow! Ask him on their page for breakfast brisket burritos and maybe he will say yes!

The Lakeside Shop: they will be set up along the south side of the lot for easier access to their store. Terri takes credit cards because many of us don’t carry enough cash! Her cookbook stand, tray, S’Mores tray all made their way to my car! Haha. Shop for Christmas gifts with them! Hopefully, Rhonda will have her Fall and Christmas wreaths on display! They will take preorders.

Virginia’s Weaving: her rugs, dish cloths and dish towels would make wonderful stocking stuffers!

Our 3D World: last week, they had several very cute Christmas 🎄 items! Wonderful stocking stuffers can be purchased from them!

Red, White & True: in addition to Tony’s hand crafted flags and paintings, he is bringing sections of the high school bleacher boards for sale at $10.00 each. If you sat on those bleachers like so many of us did, you can buy a little piece of your high school history. Maybe he will engrave them for you???

Sierra’s Soaps & Herbal Products: so her charcoal soap and shampoo bar work really well and get you really clean and smell really good!! Again, anything from her table will be loved as stocking stuffers!

A Splash In The Meadows: Jennifer makes mini paint kits. I think she has a sale price on them this week for Christmas in July. I want one in my stocking and I know any child or adult will agree!

Prairie Creek Farms: she grows and arranges fresh flowers. This is her first time at our market! Make her feel welcome by buying every arrangement she brings!

That wraps up the line up for tomorrow!
After tomorrow, there are only FIVE MORE Saturday mornings for Historic Farmer’s Market & Music On The Porch!

You’d better get your sweet corn and tomatoes in order for canning, freezing, juice making and anything else you can do with produce. Fall and Winter are coming…..and Christmas!! Have fun tomorrow and enjoy every minute! It’s going very fast!!

Our lineup for tomorrow morning:

Quandt’s Produce: this is peak season and the vegetables/fruit are nearly perfect! We have enjoyed their produce the entire week!

Grace & Grain: we enjoyed her sourdough and cinnamon sourdough for breakfast most days this week. Superb!

Food From The Farm: the best locally raised beef and pork. Ground beef, ribeyes and New York strips; pork burgers and bratwurst! Just wow!

Shelby’ Farm Eggs: eggs are the best and fresh farm eggs are better than best!

Banners, Bags & Paint Parties: Kathy hosts fun paint parties and we all should participate; even if we can’t paint. Maybe we can learn?

Jerry/Cathy Marble: 3D printed everything! Two of my grandsons will be with me tomorrow. My guess is they will spend all their time at all three of our vendors who make 3D printed toys!

Our 3D World: 3D printed items of all kinds. Stocking stuffers could be bought and saved for Christmas!

Athena Bow Co.- her work is lovely. Visit her and shop for your favorite person.

That’s 15 big vendors and everyone will fit on the lot. The lot closes at 8:00 to vehicles coming on the lot. Shopping starts at 9:00. No one is allowed on the lot while set up is happening. Thanks everyone. I’ll have to say how proud I am of all of you who participate and all of you who support our local small businesses.

A Splash In The Meadows will not make it tomorrow. They had a last minute emergency and are sorry they cannot make it.

See you tomorrow morning! Ms Lori will help with set up. She’s pretty fantastic!! Becky
