UPDATED NEWS…..

GOOD MORNING! and …Welcome to the Sunday November 6th and 7th Online Farmers Market.

Market opens on Sunday Mornings at 8AM and closes Monday evening at 10PM.
Look forward seeing you Wednesday November 9th on the
Porch of Quinn’s Mercantile from 5:00 – 6:15pm when you pick up your order.

From Management: Please arrive no earlier than 5:00pm to pickup your orders. You are welcome to come early to see any growers selling their items but arriving earlier to pickup your orders hinders staff getting orders sorted and in place. With the time change and Winter weather approaching, please do what you can to pick up your orders no later thany 6:15pm. This will not only help our Delivery Staff to get on the road and our Market Staff to get the Market Tables and etc. loaded up. Contact the Manager if you think you’ll be later than 6:15pm, we can work out other arrangement for you.

News from some of our Growers:

I missed a Growers Update this morning! She has some beautiful and very useful items for yourself or as a gift.

Thweatt Things: I’m busy sewing up these useful and beautiful holiday oversized hot pads. It’s one of those items that you didn’t know you needed until you have one! Ever wish for a bigger hot pad to accommodate casserole-sized dishes on your counter or table? Tired of using towels underneath your holiday foods? These quilted oversized hot pads are perfect for casserole and larger pans. They have 2 layers of batting (one of them is an insulating product that helps keep hot things hot or cold things cold), the second layer is cotton batting. So, not only is your table protected but it helps your dish stay at the desired temperature. Perfect for gift-giving to those cooks on your list or for a hostess gift during the holiday season. I will be adding more fabric choices as I get them made. Look for them under crafts: cozies and hot pads Caution Not for microwave use. Unlike bowl cozies, these are for table use only.
