We're finally there!
OK ... we had planned on having a roadside stand on our place by mid-June. Then the weekend of July 4th. By the weekend after that, we'd finally accepted the fact that we won't get a farm stand on the farm this year. Sigh.
BUT we do have our produce at the TransPlant Project farm stand, which is probably more convenient for many of you, anyway. If you haven't had a chance to see what we're doing with TransPlant, check out the link to the article on our home page. It's an awesome opportunity for ministry. (Although the Big Boss keeps reminding us that TransPlant isn't a faith-based organization, we see everything as being an opportunity for ministry!)
So. TransPlant is at the former location of Yard Barber, across from Stillwater Medical Center on OH-48, 8051 N. Main, Dayton. (Dayton mailing address, location in Clayton. Go figure.)
The farm stand will be open 7 days a week and, while we'll be living into our hours, here's the initial plan:
Sat 9ish-3ish
Sun 10ish-3ish
Mon-Fri 10ish-6ish
Lots of "ish's" but it all depends on when we get each day's offerings from participating farms and when we sell out of stuff each day. Glenn or I will be there some of the time, especially since I'm the TransPlant office manager and Glenn's the volunteer site manager!
Since we're but one of the farms represented, you also get to select from stuff that we don't have, particularly fruit. Today, for instance, there were raspberries and blackberries to die for, cantaloupe and watermelon sweeter and juicier than any you'll ever get at a chain grocery, and early season apples that (I'm told) make excellent sauce.
Of course, we're well represented! Glenn is taking a load of green tomatoes tomorrow, for instance. Where else can you get green tomatoes?!? We also have marvelous slicing tomatoes and a plethora of other stuff, too.
Come on by after church! Our prices are competitive with other markets specializing in sustainably and locally grown produce.
Enjoy!

When will TransPlant on Rt. 48 begin? Thanks, Kathy
Hi Kathy! It's open daily now! We opened on Saturday, as a matter of fact. We're opening around 10ish in the morning every day and be open until 6ish during the week and 3ish on the weekends. We're working into it so hours may shift some as we learn what the customer wants. Hope to see you soon!
