He's still in the process of filling the shelves. But he had local tomatoes and squash last week. Pears and apples came from Virginia. Eggs came right from Lewisville. He bought beef off the hoof from Pfafftown and had it processed locally to sell ground beef, steaks, roasts and soup bones. He also has chickens, whole and in various cuts, and plans to add sausage this week.
Right now, he's dealing with wholesalers who can get local produce, but he hopes to work more directly with farmers. He said he has contacted two organic farms about supplying him with pumpkins and other fall produce.
He also plans to add fresh breads, handmade soaps and other items soon.
