Heading out for a road trip? Our nuts an packaged perfectly in resealable bags for a healthy trip on the road and also make an awesome hostess gift.
Finally, our self-care products re a fantastic option if you want a non-food option. The shower steamers offer aromatherpy that are so relaxing & just lift your spirits naturally. Don’t forget about our best selling sinus relief steamers – truly therapeutic to relieve congestion & great to have on hand this time of year!

Yentz Family Farm:

Did you know that our pies and baked goods can be frozen until Christmas or New Years? Our Apple and Mixed Berry Crumb Pies Freeze great, as do our rolls and breads. I do not recommend freezing the pumpkin pie though.

Simple plastic wrap or ziplock bag and place in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to use them simply defrost in the fridge the day prior.

Carol’s Herbs (CS3 Farms):
We are back on the market from a wonderful anniversary break. 32 years and the good Lord keeps our marriage strong.
This week we have a few elderberry cream cheese pies ready. They are a great addition to holiday parties. They come to you frozen and you can take it out of the freezer an hour before serving.
We also have a few elderberry syrups left and lots of all in one honeys to help prevent or limit cold and flu. Stock up. They last the whole season.

Calico Farms: New this week for all of our friends with food allergies/dietary restrictions: Gluten-free Organic Vegan Peppermint Bark. This one ticks all the boxes and, yes, is still delicious. Even the candy canes are dye-free so you truly can’t find a healthier treat.
Don ‘t forget about our nut varieties – they are perfect for gifting being 10 oz & in resealable bags. Be sure to grab them for all your holiday events to fill those snack bowls, charcuterie/grazing boards or even road trips. Our sweet & spicy pecans and herbed & spicy mixed nuts are unlike anything you’ve ever had and our cinnamon sugared pecans are WAY better than Buc-ees!

For all your holiday baking, or for the baker/foodie in your life, be sure to check out our homemade vanilla extract & organic vanilla sugar. Together they make magic and a truly unique gift, we’ll call it a baker’s bundle.

Also new this week is our organic chocolate dipped Norwegian krumkaker cookies. These are an old-world Nordic tradition and are as beautiful as they are delicious. Available plain as well, both can be enjoyed as is, filled with whipped cream & chocolate chips or berries…your choice!

Finally, check out our espresso & regular peppermint barks, organic chocolate syrup (I promise you this is our new favorite product!!!), house blended teas, shower steamers & bath sachets (listed in wellness section). I think we can all agree that we can use some of these treats in our lives this time of year.
