Homemade Grandma’s Tomato Soup

Homemade Clam Chowder

Happy Spring, everybody! Doesn’t it seem brighter out? I love the bright green of the new Spring grass that is starting to come….I think it’s the prettiest color of green of them all! I also love how it’s staying lighter later in the evenings!

Well, starting tomorrow, the Goeller household will officially have THREE teenagers! (Pray for Jim and me! Ha!) Our third kiddo, Audrey, is turning 13. Happy Birthday, Audrey! Your mother and dad love you very much!

Most of the Tiger spring sports teams are starting their seasons. Track starts today and baseball and softball start on Monday. Crew starts next Saturday, and boys tennis starts on Tuesday . If you get a chance to come out sometime and cheer on these athletes at one of their games, meets or matches, I know they would love it! Go Tigers!

Here is what’s new outside…..

We are still preparing for the best time of the year for a farmer’s market! We have made our second order that will be full of ferns, hanging baskets, vegetable plants, strawberry plants, rhubarb plants, already potted flower pots, etc. Our growers produce the highest of quality, so we hope you will stop by and take a look at all the nice things once they start arriving the third week of April!

Once the weather warms up a bit, we are going to get the painting done outside.

We have added white onion sets to the market this week! They are $1.79 per pound. So, if you are wanting to plant onions, you could choose from red, white, yellow, or a mix of all three! If you don’t want to plant them in the ground, our potato bags would be perfect for planting onions! One thing I learned about planting onions is that they do not have to be in rows or as precisely planted as other vegetables. You can plant quite a few from a square that is several feet wide.

There are still plenty of Kennebec seed potatoes to plant.

Ferns are a wonderful option for a shady porch or an area that gets spotty or partial sun! We will have the traditional Boston Ferns as well as Macho Ferns, and Fluffy Ruffle Ferns! You can’t go wrong with the tried and true Boston Fern, but if you want something a little different, consider the Macho Fern which has great big fronds. The Fluffy Ruffle is described as having dense, fluffy fronds. It’s smaller and is absolutely adorable! Ferns are also a great option because there is no pruning, and they don’t need constant watering! Probably my favorite thing about ferns is that I can buy them in April or May, and they will last until well after the first frost in the fall! Last year, I bought Macho Ferns for the first time, and I loved them!

Here is a little bit more information about these refreshingly green plants! Ferns are over 300 million years old, and they provided food to the dinosaurs that were herbivores or omnivores. They purify the air by filtering out toxins. Ferns are also disease resistant, and pests do not bother them. Ferns like humid conditions, so they are great for the Mid Ohio Valley summer weather! Finally, there are more than 10,000 different types of ferns! I can’t wait to get them up on my porch!

Here’s our weekly update for inside!

There are only two weeks left until Easter! Stop in for some speckled or spiced jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, Peeps (You either love them or you hate them!) yogurt or chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered almonds, Dutch Delights, etc.

We can put together Easter baskets for you….in fact we would love to do that!

And don’t forget to order your from scratch bunny cake or carrot cake! See pictures down below!

Ramps are here! They are $7.99 lb. One customer said they are delicious in eggs, and she puts them in her fried potatoes. You can also eat them raw and slice them up like scallions and add them to your salads or as a garnish. They may be a little pungent for a first date or a business luncheon, but other than that, I say go for it! Lol!

Have you tried our bags of Bauman Orchard apples. They are grown in Ohio. We can get Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, and Red Delicious. The Granny Smith ones are my favorite!

As always there are strudels, pies, fry pies, pepperoni rolls, brownies, breads, cinnamon rolls, and rolls in our bakery that are fresh baked every day. We are also adding Rye bread this week! Stop in and try some!

There’s only one more week to get some of our homemade soups before they are gone for the season! Stop in and get one last cup or bowl of your favorite!

Jim picked up the Amish made fry pies from Whispering Pines Bakery this week. Come get your favorite! They are all delish!

The requested French Onion Soup Base has come in!

Corned Beef is back in stock! We weren’t sure how everyone would like it, so this is now a staple at Huck’s!

Duffy’s Designs is going to be bringing in some adorable Easter t-shirts this week just in time for the holiday. She is also going to drop off tumblers.

We have a few more items from Forever Caroline. The little love notes are adorable, and the right size for a sweet hello or goodbye.

Duck Creek Candle Company is highlighting Honey Cornbread for its scent of the week. They describe it as “a delicious blend of warm, fresh cornbread baking in your grandma’s oven with a hint of honey drizzled over it.” Yum!

Florence Creamery is your chance to get local cream topped milk. You can definitely taste the freshness!

As always, you can’t go wrong with ground beef or ground sausage from Zimmerview’s Meats and Market. If you haven’t tried it, you won’t be sorry!

Just a reminder that we have cards, gift wrap, and bows! Gift wrap is $2.99 and the bows are $0.99.

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

Happy weekend to you all! Did you all do anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? Sydney didn’t catch a Leprechaun, but they left a little mess of Lucky Charms and gold chocolates at the Goeller house! I also spent the evening at the Spring Fling at the high school. This dance was hosted by the Interact Club and the Key Club, and the kids wanted to give all proceeds from the dance tickets to the Eve Shelter here in town. It was a great success! It’s great to see the next generation wanting to give back, and they had fun at the same time!

Just in case you were wondering…..our last name is spelled Goeller but is pronounced Geller!

We have added a real quick crafting class being added on Friday, April 6th! Scroll alllllllll the way down at the bottom for details! There are still a few spots left for the class next Friday (March 31st) too!

I also want to give a shout out to our oldest son, Cameron! He is turning 17 on Tuesday. Oh, how times flies! Don’t you just love your kids??!! Love ya SO much, Cam!

Here’s is our weekly update for everything outside!

There is still quite a bit of painting to do outside, but this week it has been too cold for Jim to get any of that done! Maybe there will be a chance to do some more later in the week, but this weekend is going to be COLD!

Just a reminder that Kennebec potato seeds are in as well as onion sets!

Ramps are coming on Tuesday! I have never tried a ramp before, and maybe some of you haven’t either……They are a wild onion and are also called wild leeks. They taste like a mixture of garlic and onion. Did you know there is a festival in Richwood, WV dedicated to ramps? It’s called the Feast of the Ramson. It’s on Saturday, April 22nd this year from 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Here’s a website with all the information for some of you who want a fun weekend getaway! (https://www.richwoodchamberofcommerce.org/feast-of-the-ramson)

I was able to get some colorful potato bags in! They are heavy duty fabric 10 gallon bags with perfect drainage. It also has a flap on the side for easy harvesting. These are $9.99 a piece and will be put out today (Saturday) by the seed potatoes!

Potatoes are one of the best producing seeds that you can plant. One pound planted yields 10 pounds of potatoes! That’s a great return! The best way is to make sure your potato has 3 eyes on it. Cut your potato seed with a sharp knife. Plant them in a sunny area and water when necessary. You know your potatoes are ready because the potato vines above ground will completely die. That tells you that your potatoes are fully grown. Potatoes can last a long time in a cool, dark cellar or basement.

We are getting so excited for all of the flowers and vegetables plants that will be here before we know it! There will be plenty of hanging baskets, perennials, annuals, vegetable plants, succulents, etc. I can’t wait!

Here’s our update for this week on inside……

Take advantage of the Easter goodies while there is still time the next couple of weeks! We are still taking orders for Easter baskets!

We will be closed for Easter on Sunday, April 9th to observe one of the most meaningful holidays of the year!

Would you like a Bunny Cake or Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting for Easter weekend or Easter Sunday? We are now taking orders! The carrot cake will be a double layer 8 inch round cake with cream cheese frosting with (or without) walnuts. The Bunny Cake is your choice of vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry cake with vanilla frosting and coconut (or not). Check out the pictures below for examples!

BUSINESS LUNCH DELIVERIES will start on Monday, April 3rd! We are excited to offer this service to the businesses, schools and plants in our town. We know how short your lunch breaks are and how hard it can be to fight traffic and get everyone’s lunch back to them, so let us take care of that part for you!

Because of the weather, Jim has been able to start painting on the inside! We chose Cozy White for the walls and Garden Trellis for the trim. It’s a pretty sage green. He started on the back wall and he’s hoping to have all the painting done inside and out in the next few weeks! Check it out the next time you are in! P.S. All your compliments keep him motivated! Ha! Wink! Wink!

Jim and I were able to have a date day trip to the Walnut Creek Food Show last week. We had fun! We got to see all the new products and sample some things. There are some great new items that we will be able to offer you all soon!

Well, the corned beef has been a hit! We have heard great reviews! It’s great when we get something new that then can become a regular item! If you haven’t tried it, we hope you will soon!

There are small single size fresh bags of sauerkraut available if you prefer that over a jar.

Our bakery is now baking Rye bread fresh daily! This is something that you have asked for, and we are happy that we can now offer it!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Homemade Clam Chowder

White Chicken Chili

Hello, everybody! Hope you have had a great week! We did!

Last night, we had the most delightful evening making the Spring Door Arrangement! Everyone’s was unique, and they turned out beautifully! Please take the time to look at our pictures as we went from start to finish! As soon as I got home, I put mine on my front door. You can see that picture too! I love it! You can find the information about our next class in the events section at the bottom of the newsletter. Please don’t feel like you aren’t crafty or couldn’t make something look nice. These classes are done step by step, so everyone could do them!

There are over 220 different projects for Ohio 4-H that local youth can take when they are involved in 4-H. There are animal projects like: Dairy Beef Feeders, lambs, hogs, horses, rabbits, goats, etc. There are outdoor projects such as: Ohio Birds, Fishing, and Exploring the Outdoors. For domestic projects, you could take sewing, pets, finance, gardening, cooking, and even laundry! There are science projects about electricity, chemistry experiments, and the environment. In fact, no matter your interest, there is a project for you! Registration must be completed by April 1st. Questions? Send me a message!

Next, I’m going to talk a little bit about the Appalachian Trail. It is 2,190 miles and takes the average hiker 5-7 months to complete! The typical trek begins at the base of Springer Mountain in Georgia and goes up to Katahdin, Maine. Most hikers start in March and will be finished in September. Hikers need to walk 14-20 miles per day to stay on pace and be prepared for a cost of about $6,000. Two of the most beautiful views are Clingmans Dome in Tennessee and Dragon’s Tooth in Virginia. Even if we never get to do the entire trail, there are lots of spots along the route that I would love to see. (appalachiantrail.org)

Here’s our update for outside!

Has anyone seen the sun shining on Route 60 this week? That’s Huck’s! If you haven’t come by to take a peek yet, Jim has been hard at work painting Huck’s a cheery, butter yellow! We weren’t sure about the color, so thanks to all of you for your messages, texts, honks, and kind words of approval! You all are so wonderful! There are still three more sides of the building to do, but I’m confident in Jim to get the job done! Lol. Thanks, Jimmy!

If you are hoping to do some planting soon, check out our red and onion sets and Kennebec seed potatoes. Just think of how happy you will be at harvest time that you took the time to get these in the ground now! I bought a few potato bags to plant my potatoes in. I’ll take a picture once I have mine planted.

One sure sign that Spring is here is the arrival of dandelions. Before we mow for the first time, our front yard will have more dandelions than I’ve ever seen in one place. Usually it aggravates me, but I read an interesting article this week about how important dandelions are for the honey bees. Dandelions are one of the first flowers of the new growing season, and bees get both pollen and nectar from them. By May, there are lots of other flowers for bees to use, so dandelions aren’t as vital then, but they sure do need them during early Spring. So, I am determined to enjoy the dandelions in my yard a little more this year!

Now, let’s move onto the inside…..

Keep calling in for your Easter basket orders! We can customize them with all sorts of goodies!

St. Patty’s Day is on Friday! We will have sauerkraut to go with some corned beef so you can get some luck of the Irish! Sydney is trying to research the best Leprechaun trap design that she can, so she can catch one of those little green men!

Be on the look out for a couple of new items in our deli……single mustard eggs and single pickled eggs. Sometimes you don’t want to buy a whole jar but would just like to have one to satisfy your craving!

We are also going to start making Dirt Pudding and Golden Pudding this week. These are tasty options when you want something sweet to go with your lunch!

Our craft sale of 20% off will continue until we get some more items cleared out! I’m wanting to go craft shopping for the market over my spring break in a couple of weeks, so I’m hoping to get it cleared out to make room for new items!

A new order of tonic is on its way. We are glad that you like it as much as we do! We are going to add some Elderberry Syrup for Immune System support as well.

As promised, I tried the Sweetheart Jam. It is delicious! I ate it with a little cream cheese on a bagel. It is tart and sweet, which is one my favorite combinations. I think you will like it too!

I made a yummy chicken and rice casserole this week. I would be lying if I said all my kids love when I say we are having a casserole for dinner, but Jim and I both thought it was very good. The reason I tried this new recipe was because it called for Cream of Mushroom soup, Cream of Chicken soup, and Cream of Celery soup. I made it using the Walnut Creek brand of each of them, and these soups are very very good.

There are lots of baked goods made fresh by our wonderful bakers!

I know that you are starting to notice the new items from Forever Caroline! All of the artists are so talented and the quality of these products is excellent. There are little love notes, blank cards, note pads, etc. If you haven’t seen them yet, I hope you will look for them the next time you are in!

Cornerstone Homestead has restocked! They added some beautiful wood soap dishes in many different finishes (look at the cherry one!) and some Bath Shots in Lavender and Oatmeal, Milk and Honey, and Rose and Clay. Their products are luxurious and smell great!

Here’s some good news!!!! Egg prices have really dropped! They are down almost $2.00 a dozen from the cost a couple of weeks ago! We are also selling farm fresh eggs from Fagan Farms in Macksburg. They are nice big brown eggs. You have your choice of those along with our Amish eggs from Walnut Creek.

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

Homemade Clam Chowder

Homemade Ham and Bean Soup

It’s the first full week of March! We have had a couple of beautiful evenings this week! Have you seen the planets out as well? My brother took a great picture Wednesday night of Venus and Jupiter beside each other. By the time I got a chance to look, it was too cloudy. Guess that’s my luck!

Check out our display to promote 4-H! My sister, Amy, our wonderful friend, Missy Hartline, and I are the advisors of the Lynch Combined 4-H group. The Lynch Combined 4-H club is the oldest club in Washington County and was founded by the Duckworth Family. The three of us grew up doing 4-H and love being advisors as well! There are lots of great clubs all throughout the county and many of them are taking new members (Lynch Combined is as well)! Next week, I’ll tell you about different projects offered! Registration deadline for the new year of 4-H is April 1st!

Next Friday night (March 10), the Marietta Tigers Athletic Boosters will be sponsoring the movie “Top Gun: Maverick” at the MHS Auditorium. The cost is $5 per person/$20 max per person. Doors and concessions open at 6:30 pm and the movie starts at 7:30 pm. Please spread the word!

For the next few weeks, I am going to write about Appalachia. It is the place that many of us have grown up, and it is the place where many of us have chosen to stay and raise our families. The Ohio Valley, located in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, is a beautiful place that we all love. The Appalachian Mountains are unique for several different reasons. They cover 1,500 miles from Maine all the way down to Georgia. They are also about 200 miles wide. This is mostly one continuous area. They are also covered in dense forest with evergreen firs in the north and at higher elevations. Deciduous trees like birch and oak engulf the central and southern parts as well as lower elevations. This makes for beautiful seasons for nature lovers! What’s your favorite season? (peakbagger.com)

Outside update…..

Jim is continuing to get the outside spruced up! There’s not much time left now! Check out the pic of his progress!

There are officially 16 days until the first day of Spring. It’s amazing how fast the winter has gone!

I am so happy to announce that onion sets have arrived!! They are actually inside, but I included them in the outside update since they are for the garden. I had to look up some information about onion sets, since a lot of this is new to me 🙂 Onion sets are different than seeds, because they are actually year old onions. They were planted as seeds and dug up after a year. In zone 6 (our gardening zone), you are supposed to plant them between mid-March and mid-April, and you will get an onion crop in late fall. You can also plant onion sets in the fall and get onions ready to harvest next June. The only downfall that I see with onion sets is there is less of variety than seeds. We have red and yellow onion sets right now. Jim said we can also get white and sweet onion sets, so I will keep you updated on when those come in!

Here are two fun facts about flowers to help get us in the mood for all the gardening fun that is to come!

Did you know that many of our very favorite fruits are in the rose family? Yes! Apples, cherries, peaches, pears, raspberries, and strawberries are all related to the flower of love!

Can you guess which spring flower was once more valuable than GOLD?……Tulips! In the 1600s, tulip bulbs in Holland were worth more than gold. This was called “Tulip Mania” and caused the country’s whole economy to crash!

Inside things are buzzing along as usual!

One reason that I’m writing about Appalachia is that we are partnering with another local small business owned by Julie Harding called Forever Caroline! Forever Caroline offers individual greeting cards, love notes, boxed notecard sets, and note pads from Appalachian artists! One of her featured artists, Beth Nash, is from our area. Much of the artwork featured has been inspired by Appalachia and its way of life. They are beautiful and would make a great gift for a family member or friend!

Don’t forget to get some Homemade Clam Chowder with Bay Biscuits on Fridays through Lent! Also, we now have egg salad!

Nothing says St. Patty’s Day like corned beef or a Reuben sandwich! Corned beef has arrived at Huck’s in the deli section!

New Item! Walnut Creek Sweetheart Jam! It has cherries, strawberries, red raspberries, and passion fruit. I’ll put some on my grocery list and tell you how it is next week.

We now have packages of Soup Base…..look for Low-Sodium Chicken and Beef!

We have restocked our Amish Wedding salsas and Walnut Creek ketchup.

If you haven’t noticed, Zimmerview Farm has put a freezer for their ground beef and sausage inside Huck’s! It’s very convenient to grab one, and there will be a new shipment of ground sausage this morning!

We now Colonial Pies for Two! They are adorable! They have an open top and are the perfect size for two people or if you don’t want to buy a full pie. Also, don’t forget about our Amish made from scratch fry pies.

Crafts are still on sale!! 20% off! The only exclusions are the wonderful items from Cornerstone Homestead, Duck Creek Candle Co., and Forever Caroline.

The Yoder’s Good Health Tonic is selling! I’m hearing some good reviews from some of you who have bought it!

We are looking for some local honey to add to our inventory. If you know of any beekeepers in our area who make honey, please let us know!

Kennebec potatoes grown in Maine are only $0.79 per pound! Yum!

Homemade Clam Chowder

White Chicken Chili

Hello, everyone! What a beautiful week we had weather wise! Signs are spring are popping up all around! My mom has some purple crocuses already blooming, and our daffodils have popped up with their buds. Spring sports are starting as well. This makes me feel happy!

Have you been hearing the Spring Peepers? Sydney was the first to notice them last Sunday, and now it’s about all I can hear when I go outside. Lol. (I wrote this before it got colder yesterday) I didn’t actually know what the sound was until I was talking to my sister about it. She called me one night this week and told me that one of her students asked her if she had heard the spring peepers. These male frogs are calling the females to mate. Once the females lay their eggs underwater, they will hatch 12 days later. Lastly, Spring Peepers are one of the few species of frogs that can actually freeze and come back to life! They become so frozen that their hearts stop and they look dead. Once the temperatures warm, they will unfreeze and start hopping again! (farmersalmanac.com)

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, you might consider going to watch the MHS musical “Matilda”! The first showing was last night. Tonight’s (Saturday’s) performance is at 7:00 p.m. and tomorrow (Sunday) it starts at 2:00 p.m. We go every year, and it is always wonderful! The kids are so talented, and Mr. Reider and the other directors work very hard to put on a great show! Tickets are $12.00.

I am sad that our movie theater closed this week. What a bummer. They said that the attendance after COVID never returned to what it was a few years ago. I’m sure streaming services have hurt their business too. I hate that it’s one less thing in town for our kids to do for fun.

Here is our outside update for the week!

There are officially 24 days until Spring!

Jim power sprayed all the tables and chairs yesterday. They look much better!

I found the best online article for gardening in Ohio. Check it out if you have the time! https://www.ohiomagazine.com/home-garden/article/backyard-garden-guide

Let’s talk about weeds! Weeds are defined as plants that are prolific growers and can choke out other plants and can overgrow in your garden. If you mow weeds down or just pick the part that you see above grown, chances are that they will grow back even thicker! How can you best get rid of weeds?….the old tried and true method of getting on your hands and knees and digging up the roots. I don’t mind weeding as long as I have the time. It gets very daunting if you don’t have the chance keep up on it! As you can tell, I know that from experience!

Butterflies are more attracted to weeds than flowers. As flowers have been cultivated and changed over the years to produce more blooms and colors, they have lost a lot of their scent. Here are a few weeds that you may want to add to your garden if you are looking to get more wonderful fragrances and butterflies this summer: Daisies, Creeping Thistles, Bluebells, Foxglove, Columbine, Yellow Sweet Clover, and Forget-Me-Nots. I do not want to plant anything with the name thistles in it (Ha!), but I LOVE Foxglove, Daisies, and Columbine. (mylifeinblossom.com)

Here is the update for inside…..

Lent just began this week, and we will be having some ways to make your lunches meat free on Fridays. We will have egg salad starting next week, and we will continue to make our Homemade Clam Chowder with Cheddar Bay Biscuits as well! This will last the entire Lenten season.

We have our delicious from scratch raisin cookies in stock again.

If we don’t have a pie out on the table that you would like, please ask us to bake one for you! You could call ahead or order one when you come in. We are also able to cut the pies in half or into individual pieces!

There are lots of yummy treats for Easter. I received a review yesterday about the Gummy Bunnies. A customer said they were very fresh! Along with that we have sanded gummy bunnies (they are just covered in sugar), Peeps (even chocolate ones), jelly beans, and chocolate bunnies.

We are able to put together some Easter baskets if you would like! These would be great for grandparents to give their grandchildren or to give a small one to a neighbor for a sweet surprise.

Our three bean salad is now in the deli in a bigger container. We had just started with having individual sizes, but we have had some requests, so now you can get a larger amount if you are wanting it!

Many of us love Kennebec potatoes! They are so creamy and delicious! Jim was able to get some in this past week! They are grown in Maine and are only $0.79 lb.

We have just added gift bags with tissue paper, rolls of gift wrap, and gift bows to our inventory! I got the standard size, but I could get some different sizes in if that’s something you all would like!

Craft Sale starts on Sunday! Crafts/decorations will be 20% off for the next couple of weeks! This is a great chance to pick up a little something for Spring or Easter! (Candles from Duck Creek Candle Co. and Cornerstone Homestead products are not included in the sale.)

I didn’t have room last week to talk about all the great things that are included in the Yoder’s Good Health Recipe tonic. This tonic has Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother), Apple Juice, Concord Grape Juice, Tart Cherry Juice, Elderberry Juice, Muscadine Grape Juice, Muscadine Grape Seeds, Elderberries, Elder Flower, Lemon Balm, Fenugreek Seeds, Chamomile, Juniper Berries, Wild Cherry Bark, Fennel Seeds, Green Tea, Star Anise, Thyme, Dandelion Root, Burdock Root, Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger, Tumeric, Cayenne and Black Pepper. It is organic, and everything is grown without chemicals. Now that you know what is inside, you might want to come in and get yourself a bottle! 1-2 Tablespoons a day is all you need to reap the benefits!

Here are a couple of my own reviews! I had the chance to try the Amish Wedding Corn Relish. It’s so yummy! It is sweet and tangy. I wasn’t sure if I would love it, so I’m glad that I tried it! I also made breakfast for dinner one evening recently with the Complete Pancake Mix by New Hope Mills. You can add milk and an egg to the batter, but I just used the amount of water the directions called for. My kids said they were the best pancakes I had ever made at home! To hear that from all four of our kids really means it is a winner!

If you haven’t seen our cracker selection, please check out the picture below. We have Breton crackers in Original, Multi-grain, Veggie Bites, Flax and Sea Salt, and Gluten Free. These are perfect with a little jam or with some Walnut Creek cheeses and summer sausages.

I am going to have new write ups for our March and April classes next week! Stay tuned for that!
