the Friday Feeding; VOL. 56

Thankful.  And that we are.

For the luxury of good food and the means to make it available.  For a community to enjoy it with and the ability to eat.  For the incredible people we work with and their hands that serve you. Thankful.

We know this isn’t the case for everyone.  Your store keepers recognize this. But we hate flashy, cyber-commercialized, pat-on-the-back, Small Business Holiday Statements of good doings, and the pleas for your patronage because of it.  As we celebrate a day of Thanksgiving next week and move into the holiday season please know that there is lots happening behind the scenes to care for all.  

Come see what a small town store can offer for the season and, if you are so inclined, tell your friends.  We are thankful for you and wish you a blessed day what ever you are doing.

What’s new on our shelves.

The process of giving thanks often evokes memories of kindnesses given and kindnesses received. As we have “Decked the Halls” of the store this year we put into place a gift that was given to us last year. You may have noticed our vintage Chocolate Chips bowl but may not have realized that it was a gift to the store from Brian and Helena Titilah. Next time you are in, give it a good gaze and remember them.
