Farmers Market Update

Things are going fairly well here at Full Quiver Farm. We have had 2 successful weeks at the Vestal, NY farmers market. People are enjoying my wife and daughters’ good breads, pies, and cookies. This is no surprise to me since I have always enjoyed their baked goods.

What was surprising to me is that we nearly sold out on everything even though there was some real competition from other more established vendors. These folks have very professional set ups that make their products look like they came from professional bakeries. They each had a huge selection of wares. Our breads and other baked goods look like they came from a kitchen, which they have.

And maybe that’s what people are looking for – home baked breads and a few old-fashioned cookies that are fresh and good. No high gloss or fancy packaging, just real food.

As far as the chicken goes, it was surprising to me how many people have never heard of pastured poultry. They were generally interested in learning about how we raise our chickens and turkeys. Many were surprised to learn of the lower fat content and greater amounts of vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids. We sold a lot of chicken!

But as good as the products are, we would not have done well at all if the Lord did not go before us and give us favor in the eyes of our customers. He is continually showing Himself faithful to provide for us.

Please pray that we will also be similarly blessed when we start a second market in Whitney Point, NY next week.

To God be the glory. Great things He has done.
