Well, it has rained for the past two days so we set up the stand self-serve.
It rained continuously all day today (Saturday). We need it badly but, it is a little tough on produce sales. A handful of brave souls did make it out however and we are, of course, thankful for that.
The rain was hard on our signs and labels so before we open tomorrow we'll have to redo a bunch of them.
And with it being so wet there were certain items that were not put out. Like the Burns' maple pancake mix, maple pop corn, the baked goods and Kristines goat milk soap.
Speaking of the soap, that is another item we've added to the stand. Kristine Heise is offering beautiful and sweet smelling bars of goat milk soap. We just added them last weekend.
Another new item is honey from Heritage Oaks Apiary. This is a product that the Sweeney's have acquired. A relative of John's raises the bees.
The beekeeper is Joerg Kessler. The bees that produce this honey are kept in two area's of Minnesota - Forest Lake and Princeton. The honey from Forest Lake is wildflower honey. The Princeton honey is from bees that are kept on an organic dairy farm that pastures their animals on clover and there are wild flowers in the vicinity.
Sunday is supposed to be sunny so everything will be out tomorrow.
