'Tis the Season!

12/1/2023

On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me… a hand made wreath from Blue Mountain Farms! During Christmas tree season, we collect all the “flaw branches” that get cut off of the trees and we use those greens to create these beautiful wreaths! Each wreath is decorated, which is my favorite part! These creatively crafted wreaths are the perfect decoration to bring holiday right to your front door!

Thank a Farmer!

11/17/2023

Love it or lose it. We want to take a moment to thank our farmers and local shops who keep this world and sense of community alive! Everyday, we lose another farm. Everyday, we lose another mom and pop shop. We want them to stay as the gifts that keep giving all year round. They need our support just as much as we need them! Let’s work together to keep our community thriving and whole! So, as we enter into the holiday season, we want to thank YOU for choosing to shop at your local stores and support the farmers who work tirelessly to provide us all with the needs we utilize daily! Happy Holidays and happy shopping to you all!
