Are you following Rustic Country Market on Pinterest?
Since we retired we no longer use meal kits for our meals. As convenient as they were, they no longer fit our lifestyle. Instead, we compost, we garden, we can and freeze a lot of our own food; plus we have chickens for eggs, and we buy meat from local farmers/ranchers.
That said, we now collect recipes on Pinterest to cook most of our meals. We have a variety of boards related to different types of food.
We planned to have our first, local, Rustic Country Market on April 27, 2024. We worked diligently the week prior to having our first market; getting our “store” set up. We priced everything, made directional signs and staged our store inside our enclosed utility trailer. The morning of April 27 we woke up to a blanket of snow; so we rolled over and went back to sleep. (Gotta love being a self employed retiree.)
Fast Forward to May 3 & 4, 2024
We rescheduled our first Rustic Country Market the following weekend. That morning I advertised it on Facebook. We used Friday as a test to see how long it would take to get the store set up (and tore down). It was a slow Friday, but things picked up on Saturday.
Our Rustic Country Market specializes in small batch roasted coffee beans, our nest run eggs, a variety of artisan rustic decor, including: cabinets/shelves, caddies, signs, birdhouses, benches, cups/mugs, unique gift items, plus seasonal items like Russian Sage bunches (similar to Lavender), dried spices, mixed spices, and vegetables.
