Well, hello, everyone! Hope you have had a great couple of weeks! The Goeller Family had a great trip to Disney World. Our goal was to see and ride as much as we could in our three days at the parks, and I think we did that! I’m still yawning! Little Sydney wanted to wait in every line to see the princesses and characters, and Cinderella and Olaf were her favorites!

I know it’s been nice and hot, but can you all feel a little bit of Fall in the air? The evenings and the mornings are a little bit cooler, and believe it or not, I have seen a few dead leaves here or there starting to fall. The cicadas/crickets/katydids are nice and loud too. (I looked up what insects that I’m hearing this time of year, and I couldn’t get an exact answer.) This reminds me of how my dad always said, “Fall doesn’t happen overnight.” I think he was right!

Michigan Tart Cherry orders have arrived, so if you haven’t gotten in yet to get them, please do! We have heard all sorts of things you all are doing with your cherries: pie filling, tart cherry juice, wine, etc. One thing is for sure….tart cherries are one of nature’s candies and great for inflammation!

Did you know that our one year anniversary of owning Huck’s is almost here? We took over on September 3rd, 2022! Please come join us on September 3rd this year for a store-wide sale of 20% off! All of us at Huck’s want to show our customers our thanks and appreciation!

We had another wonderful craft evening last Thursday! We cross-stitched and started some adorable ornaments. It was peaceful and relaxing on the side porch. As my sister said, “This is a great place to come and cross-stitch!” We will put another cross stitch pattern on our calendar soon!

Here’s our outside update….

The whole building is just about painted! What a great feeling to have that almost done!

We just received our order form for Fall flowers! There are going to be some beautiful mums, asters, cabbage, kale, ornamental peppers, etc. coming in the next couple of weeks! We are planning on having some in the last week of August! I literally cannot wait!

Here’s our update for the inside of the market….

Produce is still in full swing, and it is delicious! I have been eating tomato sandwiches for the past week with a little mayo, salt, and pepper, and I mean it when I say that our area’s local tomatoes are the absolute best! The ones that just arrived a couple days ago are huge and a beautiful shade of red! We have a customer driving all the way from Youngstown, Ohio to pick up some well-known, high quality Marietta tomatoes! Yum!

We have corn on the cob, blueberries, peaches, nectarines, cabbages, hot peppers, onions, potatoes, strawberries, zucchini, squash, bananas, Washington State apples, cantaloupe, carrots, blackberries, and watermelon waiting for you to pick up.

I met a gentleman yesterday who was going to make some homemade hot pepper jelly with some of our beautiful, hot peppers. Sounds like a great idea!

We just got in some pie glazes for peach, blueberry , and strawberry pies for those of you who enjoy making your own pies this time of year!

The bakery is always wafting out yummy smells from all the home baked pies, cookies, breads, strudels, cinnamon rolls, etc. Be on the lookout for home baked hot dog buns and Pumpernickel Bread. They will both be on the shelves soon!

It’s nice to see that you are trying the new yogurts that we got in from September Farms. They are so tangy and tasty. Our new flavors are Plain, Vanilla, and Lemon Honey. These are a great addition to Blueberry, Peach, Raspberry, and Strawberry. They come in 6 oz. little containers and are the perfect side for your lunch if you are wanting to stay away from the cookie rack! You can find them in the same cooler underneath the Florence Creamery milk!

Here are the ice cream flavors that we have right now: Cherry Nut, Kentucky Praline, Dutch Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Vanilla, Cold Coffee Brew, Strawberry, and Cookie Dough. Order it in a dish, cake cone, sugar cone, or waffle cone. We also can put it in a little container to go! It’s up to you!

If you haven’t tried it yet, you could sample the new Walnut Creek Bacon Cheese or the Walnut Creek Peppered Turkey! We are hearing great reviews!

Beth Huck is making some from scratch Red Velvet and Wedding Cake cupcakes. These are up in the deli area by the sandwich shop. If you haven’t tried them, prepare to be amazed by their deliciousness!

Huck’s can do all sorts of custom made meat, cheese, veggie, fruit, and sandwich trays. These are perfect for meetings, parties, get togethers, reunions, funerals, etc. You can call us at 740-374-2484, message us on Facebook, email us at hucksfarmmarket@gmail.com, or send us a fax at 740-373-0024.

Please specify when you are signing up, so Duffy can prepare. A fall ribbon bow and some fall flowers will be added to the top. You could hang this on your door, a wall, or propped up wherever you want to add a little pop of Fall color.

This will be a set of 4 mason jars painted in fall colors with the letters F-A-L-L on them. Inside will be twinkle lights and they will be filled with faux fall foliage. Price coming soon!

Community Plant Swap: Friday, September 22-Sunday, October 1st.

This is going to last over two weekends! Bring in a part of some of your healthy plants that need divided, and get other plants to plant in your garden! This is free, but we are asking for a canned good or non-perishable food item which will be donated to the First Church of the Nazarene’s food pantry! They get many families that come in every week in need, so this is a great way to do something nice for our community.

Would you like to book a private class for your friend group, family, church group, work group, etc.? Call in or message us, and we can get a fun class planned!
