The truck is absolutely LOADED today, and we just backed at the stand!

And when we tell you these things are the best tomatoes youll eat, that's an understatement. These are literally like walking outside to your backyard garden in July and plucking them fresh off the vine. They're AMAZING!!!

OTHER EXCITING NEWS....
📰🗞📰🗞📰🗞📰🗞📰🗞📰🗞
We are adding some new- additional refrigeration:

This will include a 20x20 walk in that will hold melons. A household refrigerator can take days to get a big watermelon cold to its center. We're going to take care of that for you, so youll be able to walk away with watermelon and cantaloupe chilled down to a crisp 35° 🧊🥶 Perfect for those hot summer days coming up.

Were also adding additional reach in freezers and coolers inside the store to accommodate a larger selection of ice cold fresh cut fruit cups and an expanded selection of craft sodas.

Good morning everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend🇱🇷
We had an amazing, incredibly busy weekend and we thank you all for that! We did notice that some messages sent to the page, or comments asking questions slipped through the cracks and we apologize. The owners are the only 2 people who have access to the social media for the business and wear many different hats when it comes to running the business. So, admittedly, messages or comments/questions on posts get missed. However, ALL employees have access to answering the business phone. We encourage everyone to call the store with your questions for the fastest response. Our phone number is 618-402-6437.
Hope everyone has an awesome week!

Good morning , all and Happy Memorial Day.

Today we remember the servicemen and servicewomen who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Its a day to set aside the politics and division of left vs right and honor the individuals who gave their lives answering the call to service from the streets of Gettysburg to the trenches of the western front; the shores of Iwo Jima to the push north of the 38th parallel; the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin to the fields of Vietnam; the alleys of Kuwait to the streets of Fallujah and beyond.

Today we honor more than one million fallen brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers; all fellow Americans.

Never forget.

Til Valhalla.
