Happy Birthday, America! I love the land of the free and what our flag stands for! Our great nation will turn 247 on July 4th.

In honor of this, here are a few interesting facts about Independence Day! Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4th, 1826. That’s exactly 50 years after they had both signed the Declaration of Independence. The first fireworks display came on the nation’s 1st birthday in 1777. The two youngest people to sign the document were both 26 years old, Thomas Lynch, Jr. and Edward Rutledge. President Calvin Coolidge was born on July 4th. Finally, John Hancock was the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence, and his signature is the largest! He stated that he wanted to make sure that King George could read his name without “spectacles.”! And of course, that’s why sometimes people ask for your John Hancock when then want your signature! (constitutioncenter.org and TAPinto.net)

In observance of July 4th, we will be closing a little early on Wednesday! Hours will be 9-3 p.m. Come stock up for your holiday cookout!

Here’s our update for outside for the week!

This week I’ve started to water a little bit more….definitely on days when temps are in the 80’s! I’m also going to start fertilizing this week as well. I’d love to see some pics of the things you have planted! Post a picture in the comments so we can all ooooohhhh and aaaaahhhhh over your pretty pots and/or gardens!

We planted some of our leftover flowers and perennials in some pots around Huck’s front door and around the sign area. There are still a few more to get in somewhere. We are going to put the last of the vegetable plants from Huck’s in the ground at home for a late crop of tomatoes, cabbages, and squash. We will see how they do!

Jim and I are taking a big leap of faith by planting 400 mums out at the house. That’s definitely not all the mums that we will need this fall, but we didn’t want to try too many for our first time. Wish us luck, throw up a few prayers, and/or cross your fingers for us and our little mums! Big shout out to Jay Huck for his advice and to our girls, Audrey and Sydney, for helping us plant!

Here’s the weekly update for all the things inside at Huck’s….

This is the last week to get your order in for the Michigan Tart Cherries! All orders must be placed and paid for by Wednesday, July 5th. We have to call them first thing on July 6th, and they said they won’t be able to take late or add on orders. Spread the word!

Jim and Kirsten Goeller

Welcome to summer! Although it doesn’t feel like it. Lol. Someone said it feels like October, someone else said it feels like late March or early April, either way it doesn’t feel like summer! In fact, Sydney, Jim, and I were watching Cam play baseball this week and everyone had on sweatshirts and was covered up with blankets. That’s a first for this time of year!

I know that I write with a lot of exclamation points. I go back and forth every week about this. This is not good writing practice, but I’m so happy and excited about Huck’s! Writing with plain old periods just doesn’t match with my thoughts and feelings about one of my favorite places!

Something fun in town for kids 1st grade thru 12th grade to do next week….the Missoula Children’s Theater is putting on the play “Beauty Lou and Country Beast” at the People’s Bank Theatre! Auditions are Monday from 10-12! Check out this article in The Marietta Times for more info! http://www.mariettatimes.com/news/local-news/2023/06/missoula-childrens-theatre-to-hold-auditions/

I subscribed to a new magazine for Jim and me. Have you ever heard of Backwoods Home magazine? It comes out quarterly, and we just received our first issue, and I love it! It is filled with recipes, gardening and canning information, articles on farming and growing your own food, as well as other self-reliance topics! I think some of you would enjoy it too! I’ll put a link to the website in case you want to check it out! www.backwoodshome.com

Here’s our outside update…..

Big shout out to our awesome neighbors at Greenleaf Landscaping! They took out some bushes and a dead tree for us that were on the far side of Huck’s. Jim and his twin brother, Andy, grew up going to St. Mary’s Catholic with the Lang boys, and Mike Knighten took care of this quickly! He has the nicest family, and we have known them for many years! Great, great people! We have some plans for that side of the market, and that was the first step! Thank you!

We are hoping we get some sunny days to keep at the painting outside!

Mark your calendar! Do you remember how we are wanting to have a Community Plant Swap this fall? Well, it will start on Friday, September 22 and go through Sunday, October 1st! If you have any perennials that you are wanting to thin out, please bring them, and we will lay them out on the pallets under the greenhouse! Then, you can take clumps from what others bring as well! It is free, but we will be taking donations of non-perishable cans of food for the food pantry at Marietta First Church of the Nazarene! This will be a win-win situation for everyone! The pantry gets stocked, you thin out your garden and get some new varieties of healthy looking plants! We are excited!

Take a look at the beautiful, black Asiatic Lily in the pic below! I was picking up Sydney’s friend to go to VBS, and I told her mom how much I loved the black lily she had growing in her front garden! I had never seen one like it before! The next day she stopped into Huck’s with a clump to share! It’s called “Black Wizard.” Thanks so much, Carrie!

My brother, Chad, likes hearing that his adorable rooster at the door has people asking if it’s for sale! I asked him if he would make some more….he said maybe one a year! Ha!

Now, onto the inside……

We are taking orders until July 5th for the Michigan Tart Cherries! Here are the prices: 10 # slush pack ($47.99); 27# slush pack ($99.99); 2- 5# bags of Individual Quick Frozen ($44.99). Cherries will arrive on August 2nd! You can order by calling in, messaging us on Facebook, or at the register! Don’t miss out!

PRODUCE UPDATE! From the South: seedless watermelon, corn on the cob, candied onions, cantaloupe, stringless green beans, and strawberries

Homegrown and local: zucchini, squash, cabbage, Ohio apples, and broccoli

Plus, we always carry all the usual grocery staples like peppers, potatoes, yams, bananas, lettuce, etc.

We will keep adding items as they become available! I’m hearing it won’t be long until we have local, homegrown cantaloupe! And homegrown sweet corn is only a couple weeks away! Yum!

We got a lovely review on the corn on the cob from down south! One customer said it is delicious! She wraps it a paper towel and microwaves it for 3 minutes! Thanks for letting us know, Mary Jo!

Last night for supper, I took one of our candied onions, a zucchini and two squash, chopped them up, and sautéed them in a little bit of olive oil….Oh, my! It was delicious! I added some of our Rotini noodles and made meat sauce using the Amish wedding pasta sauce. It was a great summer meal!

Cuts of homegrown chicken and turkey have arrived from Cornerstone Homestead! Right now, they are located in our big freezer outside. Just ask, and we will grab you some!

NEW! Sandwich spread will be added later this week! One of our ladies has been working on a recipe similar to what her mom used to make when she was young. She said she finally got it figured out and is ready to share it with you guys! For those of you who aren’t familiar with Sandwich Spread….it is similar to Ham Salad but uses Bologna instead!

The bakery and deli are always hopping with the best quality items possible! If you haven’t tried our homemade No Bake cookies yet, please do! They are delectable!

I appreciate you trying our new no bake desserts like Caramel Chocolate Delight and Banana Pudding! This week we are adding Orange Pineapple Fluff Salad! I thought I would tell you that it has cottage cheese in it, but don’t let that turn your nose up, it’s delicious and reminds me of holidays at my Grandma’s house as a little girl! She always made this! This week we are offering an introductory price of just $1.00 for an individual size of any of these. Try them out and see what your tastebuds think!

My girls each got a scrunchie from Madi D’Ettorre’s Sew Cute Scrunchies collection at Huck’s! They are so cute and only $2.99! I’m glad these young girls are wanting to start a little business of their own! They are go-getters!

Walnut Creek and Amish Wedding Jars are stocked up!

We got some antique, romantic looking earrings and necklaces. They are very pretty! Check them out by the register!

If you are looking for a gift, check out our crafts, candles by Duck Creek, soaps and scrubs by Cornerstone Homestead, and notepads and cards by Forever Caroline!

Jim and Kirsten Goeller

Hey, everyone! Hope you have had a great week! We did some much needed rain, but I can’t believe these cool temperatures! I haven’t put the A/C on all week at the house.

Happy Father’s Day to all of you dads out there! We love how hard you work, your dad jokes (The kids always tease Jim about his love of these! Ha!), the fun things you like to do with the fam, and how much you love your families! Dads are the BEST! I had the most wonderful dad, and I am so thankful my kids have the perfect dad for them!

We had the best time last night at the first Welcome Sign class! Make sure to check out the pictures of what they made! You can sign up through Monday to do this same class next Thursday evening at 6:00 p.m.

There is so much to do in Southeastern Ohio! I’m going to highlight one fun thing each week that I want to do with my family this summer. One thing that I have never done but would like to do is to do one of the Front Street Ghost Treks every Saturday night from June-October. It starts at 8:00 p.m., and you have to meet at the fountain by the levee.

Here’s our outside update…..

Live plants are still all 50% off!

I may be biased towards Huck’s, but our flowers and ferns at home look the best they ever have this year! My window boxes are so pretty. I hope your flowers and plants from Huck’s are looking good as well! I haven’t started fertilizing weekly yet, but I will start in the next week or so. I just water every other day until the water comes out the bottom on my potted plants. I also count to 15 or 20 as I water my new plants in the ground.

Jim and I got the doors outside at the market painted a pretty green….it’s called Chopped Cilantro. It reminds me of produce, plants and farming…..everything a farmer’s market stands for! We are going to keep at it! There is a lot more to do!

Here’s what is happening on the inside of the market this week!

We have some updated info on the Michigan Tart Cherries! First of all, we have prices to share with you! ****10 pound slush packs are $47.99 ****27 pound slush packs are $99.99 **** 10 pound boxes (2- 5 pound bags) of Individual Quick Frozen Cherries are $44.99. Payment must be received by July 5th. The order must be in by July 6th, and they tell us they cannot take late orders or any add-ons. Cherries will arrive on Wednesday, August 2nd in the afternoon.

Some of you have been asking about these cherries. Here’s what I found out! Montmorency cherries and are grown in Northwest Michigan…they are tart and tangy! They have lots of health benefits and can be used in so many ways. You can eat them as is, add them to smoothies, or make jams, jellies, or preserves with them. The most popular way is to use them in baking. They are perfect for pies because their tartness is a perfect balance to the sweetness of baked goods. (minnetonkaorchards.com) You won’t want to miss a chance to get on the list! You can call the market, message us on Facebook, or order at the register. You can call in and pay over the phone if you would like.

I love homegrown produce season! Let’s all take advantage of the great, fresh items that will be in for the next several months!

Worthington Farm has brought in homegrown local cabbage, zucchini, and yellow squash! Yum!

Don’t forget those Ripley, WV high tunnel tomatoes. We are getting rave reviews!

Southern watermelon, cantaloupe, green beans (stringless and Halfrunners) and corn on the cob are all tasty options!

We have Ohio apples and local strawberries!

There are great looking potatoes, onions, cucumbers, etc.!

We have all sorts of yummy baked goods for you, made fresh each morning and evening! We have the best bakers!

Here are a couple new desserts we have added to the deli case! Homemade banana pudding and chocolate caramel delight. I can’t decide which tastes better!

We also got in some of the extra large whole dill pickles! Wouldn’t that add a delightful crunch as a side to your sub or sandwich? Yes! They are 99 cents each!

Don’t forget about the local meat in our freezer! You can get cuts of chicken, turkey, and of course ground beef or ground sausage. Thanks to Zimmerview Farm, Peck’s Farm, and Cornerstone Homestead for providing us with such quality meats!

“Beans, beans, the magical fruit….” (I won’t finish the song! Ha!) We have several bags of dried beans on our shelves at Huck’s: black beans, pinto, Great Northern, Navy, and I love canned beans in a pinch, but there is nothing better than soaking and using dried beans when you have the time! Pick up a hunk of ham and make some soup beans and ham!

One of Audrey’s friends has started a Scrunchie business called Sew Cute Scrunchies! She has dropped off 10 scrunchies. Kids will love these! These are a perfect way to get your hair in a top knot for a day of cleaning or lounging!

Check out the note cards, occasion cards, and notepads by Forever Caroline! Julie has made the most adorable display with tomatoes! Check it out!

Jim and Kirsten Goeller

Hello, everyone! Hope you had a great week and are ready for a beautiful weekend! The temps are going to be very pleasant the next couple of days, but the air quality may be poor because of the Canadian wildfires. Some of these wildfires have been burning for weeks, but a storm system off the coast of Nova Scotia has pushed the smoke into the United States.

It’s almost Michigan TART CHERRY time!! Details are down below in our inside update! Notice how Jim wrote -ICHIGAN on our sign outside. Those of you who are die hard Buckeye fans know exactly why he did this!

Happy 21st Anniversary to my one and only, James Matthew Goeller! We got married June 15, 2002 on a beautiful, sunny day. Time really does fly! I’ll post a picture of us on our wedding day. Please, don’t tell us how old we look now! Ha!

On Thursday, June 15, voting begins for The Marietta Times Reader’s Choice Awards finalists. The first round of voting took place in May, and now it is the final round for the top 5 in each category! Voting ends on June 21. Please take a minute every day to vote for your favorite local businesses. It is very appreciated!

Here is our outside update…..

Flowers, herbs, vegetable plants, and perennials are now 50% off starting today (Saturday)!

Here is what you can choose from: 10 pound slush pack ($45-50), 27 pound slush pack ($100-120) or a box of (2) 5 pound bags of Individual Quick Frozen cherries for ($45-50).

All orders must be in and paid for by July 8, and then the cherries will be in the first week of August (probably August 2nd). You can order in person, message us on Facebook, or call the market!

Lots of yummy produce is here! Here’s what we have…..

“School’s out for summer!” I can’t help but sing the rock song by Alice Cooper! I know everyone is ready for a little R and R this summer! I’m looking forward to getting things cleaned out and organized around the house and spending some more time at Huck’s! I hope to get to see many of you there as well!

A couple of weekends ago, our 4-H group did one of our annual community service projects. We put new flags at the graves of local veterans at three local, rural cemeteries. We always start at the Lynch Church Cemetery, then we head out to Berg Church Cemetery, and lastly to St. Jacob’s Cemetery on Glendale Extension. This is one of our favorite service projects, and there are probably 120 military graves at just these three cemeteries!

Anyway….if you are looking for something to do on a Sunday afternoon, head to the Berg Cemetery off of Reeds Run in Stanleyville. They open up the old church for visitors each Sunday through the summer! You can sign the visitor’s book and look at all the old hymnals and records from the church. The oldest ones are in German. German immigrants settled there in the mid-1800s. Barbara Gearhart Matt has even published books translating these early records. We thought it was really interesting! It would definitely be worth your while!

Here’s our outside update….

All live flowers and vegetable plants are 25% off starting today (Saturday)! Come out and see if you can find one more pretty plant for your porch or flower beds. Or maybe you want to do a few more tomato or herb plants in your left over pots.

Jay Huck is dropping off some more flowers tomorrow morning. I’m not sure everything that he has, but they will certainly be pretty! Plus, with the 25% discount, it’s a win-win situation!

Thanks for a great flower season! We weren’t sure what to expect with it being our first year, but we learned a lot and enjoyed it so much! It was a good starting point for us, and we hope to have more to offer in the years to come!

Check out the rooster my brother, Chad, refurbished for our front door area! He welded it back together and painted it red, yellow, and black. I think it looks great, Brother!

Here’s our weekly update about inside…..

A new shipment of local homegrown strawberries will be here today!

We are so excited to have a new vendor that will be at Huck’s starting later this week or next! We will now be selling local pasture raised chicken from Peck’s Farm in Waterford, Ohio! I have known Amber Peck for many years now. She is the President of the Farmer’s Market downtown, and she and her husband are great, hard-working people! Stop in and try a package! It will be in our walk in freezer to start, so you will just need to ask! We will have boneless breasts, thighs, wings, and chicken sausage (sweet and spicy and salt and pepper)!

Yoder’s Good Health Recipe Tonic has been re-ordered and will be in this week! If you haven’t tried this vinegar health concoction as part of your health regimen, you just might want to start! It’s slogan is “It puts some pep in your step!” Jim and I agree!

Our baked goods are baked fresh each morning by the best bakers around!

Have you seen our mini loaves of bread? This is a good solution to those of you who can’t eat an entire loaf of bread quick enough! They are cute and you get all the yummy goodness of a full loaf….just tinier!

Our Walnut Creek snack area is full! We got in some pretzel balls! A handful is the perfect crunchy snack if you are looking for something salty.

It sure has been hot outside, so don’t forget about our Velvet hand-dipped ice cream! We have been starting to sell tubs for birthdays and weddings, so keep that as an option for your upcoming celebrations!

Now that school is out, and I have a little more time, I’m going to be heading up to Columbus to get some crafts to spruce up the front of the store! Look for lots of new items later this week!

We have packaged up some Cucumber Dill Dip and French Onion Dip from Walnut Creek! You know it is good quality if it has their name! Mix it with a small tub of Walnut Creek sour cream from our dairy case (it will be in on Wednesday), and you have the perfect party or snack dip for veggies, pretzels, or chips! Yum!

If you notice a lot of thumbs up in my pictures this week, that is Little Syd giving her approval! Lol! She was following me around as I was taking pictures and sticking her thumb in, so we just went with it. As you will be able to see, she broke her arm the week before school let out, so we are praying for a speedy recovery!

Happy Memorial Day weekend! This weekend is considered the official start of summertime! I know there are a few more weeks until the Summer Solstice, but we made it!

Doesn’t downtown Marietta look so pretty? The fuschia hanging baskets, all the American flags across the Putnam Street Bridge, and the storefronts give me three more reasons to be proud to be from our river town.

We will be open 9:00-3:00 on Memorial Day!

Looking for a fun way to celebrate Memorial Day? The Memorial Day Parade in downtown Marietta starts at 10:00 a.m. on Monday. Many other communities are also celebrating with parades as well. There have been over 1.1 million soldiers that have died in U.S. wars starting with the Revolutionary War. These brave men and women sacrificed their lives for our country, our Constitution, and our freedom. We are eternally grateful to each of them for helping to pave the path of the land of the free!

Congratulations to all the 2024 graduates! I know that college graduations are over and done, but in the last week or so and this weekend there will be many high schools holding their graduations! Best wishes to all of these graduates as they start a new, exciting chapter in their lives! Some join the armed forces while others go into the workforce or continue their education. No matter what you new graduates do next, one thing is for sure, we are SO proud of you!

A huge THANK YOU for your votes in The Marietta Times Reader’s Choice Awards! We were thrilled to hear that Huck’s Farm Market is a top-5 finalist in 7 of the 8 categories we were nominated in: Deli, Bakery, Produce Store, Farmer’s Market, Lunch, Sandwich, and Subs! This next round of voting will start June 15th!

Here is our outside update!

10% off all live plants!

Add some color to your front stoop or porch. There is still plenty to look at and choose from! …..veggies, herbs, fruits, annuals, perennials, succulents, planters, and baskets! There are shade plants and sun lovers.

Here’s what is happening on the inside of Huck’s market….

Do you need a last minute tray for a graduation party or Memorial Day picnic? It’s not too late to order something!

If you are looking for something to take this weekend to your picnic, we have you covered! You could get a pound of Baked Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Macaroni Salad, or one of the other delicious sides in our deli case. You could take some cheeses, jams, and some Benton or Cabaret crackers. A pie or some cookies might hit the spot as well!

Rhubarb is back in the produce section.

Another shipment of homegrown strawberries is coming on Monday.

For all you coffee lovers….come try our new hand dipped ice cream flavor….Coffee Brew! Yum! It is down below, because we don’t have enough spots up top, so just ask us if that is a flavor you would like. We also have a chocolate dip on some of the cake cones. They are a popular choice! And look for waffle cones this week as well!

If you didn’t know that we have Velvet hand dipped ice cream, here are our flavors: Dutch Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Cookie Dough, Butter Pecan, Strawberry, Vanilla, Buckeye Classic, Cherry Nut, and Coffee Brew.

Look for our new dip mixes to be on the shelves this week! We are starting with Cucumber Dill and French Onion. Just add sour cream to these classic mixes for veggies and chips. They are so good, plus it’s cheaper and fresher than what you can buy in the store!

This week we were asked to make some small size cemetery saddles. They turned out so pretty! Keep these orders coming! I love making them! Jim and I have a good system. He cuts the flowers apart with wire cutters, and then I arrange them. It’s a good time for us to get to chat for a little bit at the end of a busy day. Old Jimmy always knows how to make me laugh!

Our oldest son, Cam, has started working a couple of days a week at Huck’s. He’s enjoying it so far, and he says there is always something to do! Be sure to say hello to him!

I want to share one of my very favorite products at Huck’s! If you haven’t tried the Vinaigrette by Garlic Expressions, you really should! It’s now my very favorite salad dressing, and every few days, I think to myself, I need to get a Huck’s salad with that Vinegar and Oil dressing. I really do crave it! Lol.

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

Hello! I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather! We sure are!

Don’t you love the month of May? It’s the time for planting and enjoying nice, warm days! You know the lazy days of summer are near, and everything looks green and fresh. There are lots of things to celebrate with Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, and graduations. Here are some things I found about this wonderful month!

Today, May 20th, is Armed Forces Day. This is a day to celebrate all of our branches of the military and those who serve! Thank you!

When there is a full moon in May, it is called a Flower Moon!

The emerald was chosen as May’s birthstone, because it signifies rebirth and fertility.

Be sure to find some recipes which use the very first crops of spring: asparagus, strawberries, rhubarb, and spinach. Yum!

Have you heard of these old wives’ tales sayings before?

“Warm January, cold May.”

“A dry May and a leaking June
Make the farmer whistle a merry tune.“

“A snowstorm in May
Is worth a wagon load of hay.“

“Among the changing months, May stands confessed
The sweetest, and in fairest colors dressed!“
–James Thomson, Scottish poet (1700–48)

Here’s our outside update!

The warmer temps at night mean that we are out of the woods on frosty mornings! I know Jim is happy with that! There were a lot of evenings that he spent covering flowers!

If you ordered Anderson tomato plants, they are in! There are also extra plants for those of you who didn’t get a chance to order ahead of time!

There are still lots of beautiful and healthy vegetable plants, herbs, and flowers. We have plenty of perennials and annuals. There are lots of colors and different shades of the same colors. Fresh things are still coming weekly, so don’t feel like you are behind! Heck, I haven’t had a chance to plant anything yet, but I’m certainly getting a lot of ideas!

One of the things I love the most about planting….you really can’t mess it up! And sometimes you are pleasantly surprised when you find some new combinations of flowers.

The tea roses have just started to bloom! Oh, my, they are gorgeous! My pictures below don’t do them justice. Look at the icy lavender one….it’s called Blue Girl. It’s a real beauty!

There is a wide array of hanging baskets and planters all ready to go if planting isn’t your thing!

We have many things happening inside as well!

Come get some local homegrown strawberries and rhubarb. Asparagus will be coming in later this week!

Come in for some bi-color corn on the cob. It’s here in time for cookouts for Memorial Day!

We have started to take orders for party trays for graduation parties! Huck’s can make meat trays, cheese trays, veggie trays, sandwich trays, fruit trays, cookie trays, and condiment trays. We have both large and small sizes. The prices and descriptions are in the pictures below.

Memorial Day is only a week away! I have made more cemetery vases with some pretty colors. I will be making some more this week! I am also taking orders for cemetery saddles for the tops of graves. I just made four that were custom made. Check out the pictures below! I can do any color scheme that you would like! Prices for the saddles start at $44.99. They are 3 feet long and 2 feet wide. I know how much it means to us to take care of our loved one’s graves.

Freshly baked breads and baked goods are made daily! Come early if you can, because they go quickly!

There’s plenty of ground sausage in the Zimmerview meat freezer, and we will be restocked with ground beef in the next couple of days!

Who likes meatloaf? Well, we now have Walnut Creek’s Meatloaf Sauce on our shelves! Sounds like a good idea for dinner this week! My very favorite meatloaf recipe is from Trisha Yearwood’s cooking show. It is so tasty, and I bet this sauce will make it over the top!

We got in pint jars of Walnut Creek Sweet Cauliflower as well! Yum! These are sweet and tart at the same time with the perfect combination of sugar and vinegar. There is also some mustard seed inside!

Try some Walnut Creek Mild or Hot Chow Chow. The ingredient list includes cabbage, water, vinegar, sugar, onions, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, and spices. Sounds like it’s worth trying!

The Amish Wedding pancake syrups have been selling so well, that we decided to add a few more flavors to try: Blueberry, Blackberry, and Butter Pecan! You can still find Raspberry, Strawberry, and Peach! We are also restocked with New Hope Mills Complete and Buttermilk pancake mixes. My family loves breakfast for dinner, so these pancakes are definitely on our rotation.

Don’t forget to get a .79 packet of sauerkraut. These are sitting on top of the deli case. We have pints and quarts, but this is perfect for a lunch or for someone who is the only one in the house who likes sauerkraut!

Everyone loves chps and salsa! I want to highlight the Jose Madrid Salsas that we now carry. First of all, this is a local small business out of Zanesville. They have so many varieties. We are carrying Garden Cilantro Salsa Mild, Peach Mild, Spanish Verde X X Hot, Mild, Hot, and Pineapple Mild. There is one for everyone!

There are lots of ideas for gifts for all occasions! There are gift cards, crafts, and items from Duck Creek Candle Co., Forever Caroline, and Cornerstone Homestead. Check them out if you haven’t already!

Hello, everyone! This newsletter is mostly going to be about mothers and flowers! I hope you enjoy it!

First of all, I would like to say Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers reading. Bless you for all you do for your families! I was blessed with the best mother in the whole world! My mom, Ruthie Hall, is fun, funny, sweet, and loves her family more than anything. I also know some of the very best moms around like the moms in my family, at work, friends, etc.! I love you all!

The very first Mother’s Day was actually celebrated in Grafton, WV. Anna Jarvis lived in Philadelphia in 1907 and went home to Grafton to hold a memorial service for her mom after she passed away. She did it at the church her mother attended to honor all of the service her mother contributed to mothers and women. From there, Mother’s Day grew, and in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made a law that the second Sunday of May would be designated as Mother’s Day. He encouraged everyone to thank their mothers on this special day.

The oldest living mother lives in Catalonia Spain. Her name is María Branyas Morera, and she is 116 years old!

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, a Russian woman who lived in the 1700s holds the record for having the most children. She had 69 children! Many of them were twins, triplets, and even quadruplets! I bet she was exhausted! Lol.

More phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year! Get on that phone to your mama if you haven’t already!

Mother’s Day is the busiest day of the year for restaurants! If most moms are like me, the last thing I want to do on Mother’s Day is cook! Ha! Hope you are reading this, Jimmy!

Mother’s Day is the 3rd highest selling day of the year for plants and flowers! This is a great lead into our weekly update outside!

Hello! Aren’t you soooooo happy to see the sunshine! After a miserable and dreary start to the week, we have a beautiful weekend ahead of all of us!!

Yesterday at school, my classes celebrated Cinco de Mayo with fiestas! It’s actually celebrated more in the United States than in Mexico. It is not Mexican Independence Day (that’s in September)…it celebrates the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla when the Mexicans defeated the French on May 5, 1862. Hopefully, you got to celebrate by eating a little comida mexicana!

Do you like mushrooms? It’s Morel Mushroom hunting season! The best time to look for them is during late April through early May. According to the website rootedinohio.com, there are over 2,000 edible mushrooms in Ohio. There are 3 different types of morels. The black ones sprout first, but are the hardest to find. Gray and white are more common. Many people like to sauté or fry them. One important morel hunting tip…don’t pick all of them that you see or they won’t come up again next year!

Don’t forget to vote through Thursday for the The Marietta Times 2023 Reader’s Choice Awards!

Here’s our outside update!

Just a reminder…..Mother’s Day is next Sunday (May 14th)!

Huck’s is in full bloom! With the beautiful warm weekend, it’s the perfect time to think about sprucing up your outside with some bright, cheery colors! If you love to plant, we have tons to choose from! If don’t particularly like to plant, we have planters, bags, and hanging baskets all ready to go!

Have you seen the big, healthy tea roses we have in? They are gorgeous! There are lots of different colors. They are: Blue Girl, Tropicana, Chrysler Imperial, and Midas Touch! Once you are ready to plant, make sure to leave 2-3 feet around it, water it 1″ a week for the first year, and fertilize it three times during the grow season (when you plant it, after the first bloom, and one more time in August.

There is a vast array of herbs and vegetables for planting! Imagine how happy you will be later in the growing season when you can reap the benefits of your labor!

We found Amish Paste and Jet Star tomatoes, so come and get some!

I know many people in our area struggle with deer eating our flowers and plants. Have you ever tried Blood Meal to keep them away? A teacher friend and I were talking about this week at lunch. She said that she sprinkles it around her flowers after she plants, and the deer leave them alone! She said it doesn’t smell at all, but to deer it smells like a fresh kill, so they don’t come near. She also said if it rains, she goes out and sprinkles some more!

Inside is a busy place….!

Sooooo excited to tell you that local, homegrown strawberries are here!! Come and get some of the season’s very best! Just think….strawberry pie, strawberries on your cereal or oatmeal, strawberries plain, strawberries and cream, strawberry cake, etc.! Yum yum!

Homegrown asparagus is here too! We just had some at home this week! Drizzled with a little olive oil with some coarse ground pepper and sea salt, and then roasted at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Heavenly!

We are happy to announce that we have a second slicer in the deli! That means double the amount of meat sliced for the same amount of time. Wahoo!

Jim and I made our first saddle cemetery arrangement! It’s red, white, and blue with a white bow, a little white bird, and an American flag. There are also vase arrangements and more will be coming!

If you haven’t tried our hand-dipped Velvet ice cream, stop in and try a cup or cone!

If you haven’t tried our fresh baked Rye bread, you are missing out! One customer got some Corned Beef from the deli and said you would make my day if you said you had some Rye bread….. and we did! Individual packets of sauerkraut will be back in stock on Wednesday!

Pickled Brussels Sprouts from Walnut Creek are on the shelf!

New product! In the cooler, we now have Walnut Creek Cornmeal Mush! Not sure what to do with it? Eat it like hot cereal. Chill it, slice it up and fry it until it’s a golden brown. Pair it with real maple syrup to have with breakfast or enjoy with your favorite vegetable and meat at dinnertime. Now, for a short history lesson….Cornmeal mush is one of the oldest foods that our ancestors ate during the colonization of the Americas. It was very important to the pioneers as they traveled west to new frontiers. It was affordable, and it wouldn’t spoil making it a perfect side dish or breakfast. It was also a staple food for Yankee and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. When supplies were scarce or there was no time for cooking during battle time, army cooks could ensure the soldiers had a full belly by serving mush. If it was good enough for our founding fathers, then I say it is good enough for us! (delightedcooking.com)

Well, April is in the books! It’s been cool for the last week or so, but it looks like it will warm up later this week!

The first round of voting for The Marietta Times Reader’s Choice Awards begins on Thursday, May 4th and goes through Thursday, May 11th! You can vote every single day one time! Jim and I were excited to hear that Huck’s was nominated in 8 categories this year: Farmer’s Market, Crafts, Deli, Bakery, Lunch, Produce Store, Sandwiches, and Subs. If you would like to include Huck’s in your votes this year, that would be awesome!

Prom is in the air! There are many area proms this evening! The Marietta High School Prom theme is “A Night to Remember” with a starry night theme! The kids have worked so hard, and DJ Associates and Events Designs make it as easy as it possibly could! It looks absolutely beautiful! Mrs. Jade Thompson and I are the advisors, so we will be dancing the night away (We wish!)! Ha! If you would like to see all the beautiful gowns and the spiffy tuxes, there is a Prom Walk Through on the Davis side of MHS that starts promptly at 7:15!

Lots is happening outside…….

Flowers and baskets and vegetable plants, oh, my! We are loving our first Spring here at Huck’s! We are getting more and more flowers, vegetables, and each week and will be at full capacity this week!

You can find 15 varieties of tomato plants, multiple types of cabbage, several different cucumber choices, eggplant, canteloupe, watermelon, strawberries, and a vast assortment of peppers ranging from mild to hot.

For those of you who like to add freshness to your cooking, check out our selection of healthy, herbs! They add delicious flavor and really do enhance any dish.

Flowers are my favorite. Every time that I think the pinks are my favorites, then I see the sunny yellows or the cheerful corals and then I can’t decide! That’s why I usually get some of each!

I wanted to show you my window boxes from my porch last year. I planted them using only Huck’s plants. They were gorgeous! Here’s what I included from left to right: miniature licorice, dahlias, geraniums, salvia, celosia, and snowflake. I like to add different heights, and I love to add trailing plants. Some years, I love to plant waves of different colors, and other years I decide to pick one color and do shade variations. I’m not sure what I will do this year, but one thing is for sure, planting flowers is one of my very favorite things to do!

If you are too busy or are unable to plant your own pots, I would love to help you do that! You could drop your pots off, and you could pick out the flowers you would like, and I could plant them. We could even deliver them back to you if necessary.

Once your flowers, ferns, etc. are in place, make sure to do give them a good soaking every other day (Sometimes every day if they are in the sun, and it is very hot!) My mom taught me year and years ago to water until the water is coming out of the bottom, then you know that the plant has gotten enough. For prolific plants, fertilize once a week with Miracle Grow, Compostlife Fertilizer that we sell at Huck’s!

Stop for lunch or an ice cream cone and sit on the side porch! It looks so inviting now that all the flowers are around!

Inside keeps hopping along…..

We have locally grown asparagus! Yay! These were grown in Lowell on the Worthington Farm. What wonderful people they are! I am so thrilled to be able to say we have something that is homegrown! Think of all the wonderful seasonal produce we are all going to be enjoying for the next 6-8 months!

The Goeller Family got 14 little Rhode Island Red chicks this week! They are so cute! They are inside under a heat lamp until they get bigger. Sydney and Audrey are enjoying naming all of them and playing with them. Sydney said she has named “the one with the cold feet Macy.” I’m not sure how she will keep track of that one, since they all look absolutely identical! Lol. Rhode Island Reds make a nice, big brown egg. They are hardy hens and are reliable layers! So, hopefully within 4-5 months we will have some eggs!

We do offer eggs from Amish Country (white and brown) and farm fresh eggs from Fagan Farm. Egg prices have come down (THANK GOODNESS!), and the USDA says that they will drop 30% total this year.

While we are one the subject of eggs….do you like pickled eggs? What about mustard eggs or jalapeno eggs? There are also hot eggs and beet pickled eggs. We also have THE best egg salad I have ever tasted in our deli. It’s great on our freshly baked round kaisers or on some of our Breton or Cabaret crackers. Yum!

Lots of rolled butter, bacon, yogurts, cream cheese, and the increasingly popular Florence Creamery are available in our cooler area!

The snack area is filled to the brim! Try some vanilla clusters or some English Toffee Mix if you want a little chocolate. The English Toffee Mix has toffee coated peanuts, walnuts, and a candy like Milk Duds. It’s really yummy!

We have some cemetery vases with floral arrangements throughout the store. I made all of them different….I don’t know what I was thinking. I guess I was just enjoying myself. Next time, I will make some that are matching, for grave stones that have two areas for flowers, or if you would like to family gravestones to match. I am going to make some saddle arrangements this week, and they will be in by next weekend!

I’m glad that you all are liking our bulk spices. We will be adding some more spices soon, but for now we have Course Black Pepper, Lemon Pepper Seasoning, Cinnamon, and Chili Powder.

If you need a gift, visit our craft area or grab a candle or some handmade soap. Then, you can finish off with a gift bag or wrapping paper and a card from Forever Caroline. If you haven’t gotten a chance to see all of the Appalachian artwork, you are in for a real treat. They have a homey, cozy feel!

Don’t forget all of our baked goods to satisfy your sweet tooth! Amish made fry pies will be back in soon from Whispering Pines Bakery, so be on the look out!

CLASS EVENTS:

Family Tree Dental celebrated some of their wonderful dental hygienists by having a private class this week to make a round Welcome sign for spring/summer! This was the first time we had ever done this, and it was wonderful! Duffy led the class and as always does a wonderful job! Thanks ladies for a beautiful evening on the porch!

We would love to start to schedule more private group classes. We can come up with what you want to make, and we can come up with something that works with your price point! Also, it doesn’t have to be a weekend night….sometimes it’s easier to get together like this on a weekday evening.

As I said above, we were able to have our first class outside on the side porch. This is roomy and pleasant! We are definitely going to take advantage of the warmer temps, and once I’m out of school, we will be able to offer more classes!

Dates and prices will be set next week! More summer class will be added as well! If you have an idea, please let me know!
