Greasy Creek General Store

Greasy Creek General Store We are a small family business in Buffalo, MO. carrying items for spring, summer, fall, and winter. Everything we carry is locally home-grown and vine-ripened.
(243)

Our store has seasonal phases that rotate us through the whole year. We get started in early spring with bedding plants for the garden-growers. We carry a wide variety of vegetable plants, some melons, some berries, and herbs. We also carry flowers and hanging baskets, as well as lawn and patio cedar furniture that has been handcrafted right here in Buffalo. As soon as the gardens come on, we begi

n handling fresh, farm-grown, vine-ripened produce. Green beans are a main crop for us, and we've sold hundreds of pounds of them over the last few years. Other favorites are tomatoes, cucumbers, all kinds of squash and peppers, new potatoes, egg plant, and you name it. What we don't grow right here in our own gardens on Greasy Creek Hill, we get from the Mennonites of Lead Mine, MO. In addition to our produce line, we carry some basic grocery items. Milk is in the fridge; bread is on the counter; jams, jellies, honey, apple butter, and sorghum line the shelves. We also carry cookies and breads from the Lead Mine Mennonite bakery! Country, Primitive, and Rustic Home Décor is a big part of our General Store all year around, but especially during the fall and winter months when the gardens have died out. We carry a large line of bathroom and kitchen accents, high-quality Thompson wax crumbles, candles, LED flameless candles, wax warmers, candle holders & accessories, chicken wire and other country items, baskets, and a large line of Mason Jar items like soap dispensers, lights, lamps, containers, and many other gifts and goodies. You can also find anything from old-fashioned aprons to country grapevine wreaths to cast iron skillets to bird houses & feeders. In the fall we deck the place out with straw bales, pumpkins and gourds, corn stalks, and indoor decor. During the Christmas season we carry a large assortment of tree ornaments, snowmen, nativity sets, and other holiday decor. Over in our blacksmith shop, Josh Bush makes a variety of things like hooks, towel holders, ornamental pieces, and more. Since 2016, events and workshop classes have joined the ranks of what Greasy Creek General Store is all about. We host several large events throughout the year, and regularly have classes scheduled to teach interested students some of the dying arts of our heritage. Check out our Events tab for a look at what we have scheduled on the calendar.

Tuesday Morning Update (8/11):

Good morning to all on this late summer morning in the Ozarks!
This is a great day to be alive, and we’re ready for a very nice day ahead.
The big news for today is we still have lots of cantaloupes ON SALE (at least as of this morning) that we’re selling on a BOGO sale of $2.95! That makes them about $1.48 ea. These are the Aphrodites, and are some very nice ones. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time yesterday, so here they are!
We also brought in many boxes of some awesome canning tomatoes yesterday as well. We are able to sell those at the last sale price of $18.75 /25lb. box again (.75¢ /lb.). We sold some last evening but still have 16 boxes left this morning. These are going to be sold on a ‘first come’ basis, and we know of several who have been waiting, so come on by if you need some of these beauties!!
And we also picked up some nice jalapeno peppers to go along with your salsa mixes. We still have lots of chopper peppers in stock as well, like Poblano's, Marconi's, and several others, if you are one who likes the various flavors in salsa. And we have lots of fresh onions available, so we should be able to get you going!

Once again, as many of you already know, things don’t last long around here so if you are interested in these, please don’t wait too long. I hate to say that for fear someone might think we’re ‘pushy’ around here, but we’ve had some scoldings for not letting people know how quickly things are sold. We just want to make sure we have what people are looking for when they need it!

Ok, for the weather today…
We’re looking at just about a carbon copy of yesterday’s weather, with lots of sunshine, a high of 96º, and light winds from the southwest. The average humidity will be a bit lower at 57%, and the UV index is again a very high ‘9’. The sunrise was at 6:25, with the setting due at 8:10pm. And the overnight low looks to be 78º again.
At this point, tomorrow also looks similar but with a little more cloud activity entering into the mix.

In the General Store today…
Ok, our lineup this morning is red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, chopper peppers, sweet banana peppers, Marconi peppers, Poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, zucchini squash, yellow squash, new potatoes (white and red), sweet onions (red, white, and yellow), green beans, cantaloupes ON SALE, and seedless Sweet Gem watermelons. They didn’t have much sweet corn at yesterday’s auction, so prices were extremely high. But I’ll still be watching that closely... You just never know!
We also have several baked goods in stock this morning, as well as some fresh loaves of sourdough bread from Stude-A-Baker that I picked up yesterday afternoon.

Canned goods, pure raw honey, and apple butters are in good stock this morning, and our meat freezer is stocked with lots of all-natural ground beef, steaks, and other fine cuts of pasture-grazed, Hereford beef from the local McCorkill Family Farms.
The Barn Room still has some garden items available, including organic fertilizers, natural soil additives, heavy-duty garden tools, soaker hoses, and most of the other garden accessories.

Around the Farmstead today…
Well, things didn’t go quite as expected yesterday (have I ever said that before?!!). Coley and I went to the Leadmine auction, ready to check things over and head over to the Hickory Co. auction by 2pm if needed. I really wasn’t expecting to pick up cantaloupes, but when the last bins drastically dropped in price, that changed things! I also found a very nice bin of seedless watermelons at a good price, so I grabbed it as well. We took her short bed truck to the auction, so between the 2 large bins and all of the boxes of canning tomatoes we were able to snag, we loaded up her smaller truck, headed home, and she took the flatbed truck back to pick up the rest of it while Joshua and I unloaded her truck. So, things took much longer to do, but it was well worth the time!

Today I’ll be here all day, but Joshua has an eye appointment in Springfield this afternoon, so he and Coley will be doing that while I watch the store (I know, I’m not a match for Josh, but hey… I can still wait on you). So, I’m not sure how much will be accomplished, but as I seem to say so often lately… “It’s all good!”

Coley will be harvesting our garden this morning, as well as some other tasks, and I have several early things to take care of before I handle the store later today, so we’ll still be moving forward with our many projects.
We are definitely heading into our next season, and things are right on time!

Have a GREAT Tuesday, and be careful in the heat!!

SALES ALERT!!

We just rolled in with a large bin of fresh Aphrodite cantaloupes at a bargain price! We’re going to begin unloading them and selling them on a BOGO special, at our original price of $2.95! So, you can get 2 of them for the price of one ($1.48 ea.), while supply lasts!

We also brought in more of the nice canning tomatoes, priced at $18.75/box. There are about 17 boxes, and again, these are sold on a ‘first come’ basis, so stop on by if you’re interested in them!

We’re open ‘till 6pm this evening.

Monday Morning Update (8/10):

Wow, we're already entering the ‘double-digits’ of August! Autumn, here we come!
But today is still ‘summer’, so let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. We have a nice day ahead, albeit a bit on the warm side again, but it IS summer, so that’s just fine.

Saturday was a slammer here in the General Store with lots of customers, and all kinds of items selling! It actually took me by surprise as we’ve been a little on the slower side lately. We had several new customers, several family members who brought in visiting relatives, and also several friends who got together to enjoy the nice day and chose to include our store in their lineup of plans. We’re so thankful for all of the wonderful people we get to visit throughout the seasons!
Today will be an auction day again, so I’ll be heading out to at least one auction later this morning. We’re not in dire need of anything in particular right now, but I do want to keep things fresh and in good stock, so we’ll go ahead and check things out today.
We sold all of our boxes of canning tomatoes Saturday morning, so I’ll see if I can find another buy on them today as well. If you are needing some, let Joshua know and we’ll do our best to get you a good deal. I’ll be posting when I return this afternoon.

We have a lot going on this week between appointments and projects, so it should prove to be a very busy one. We have some new plans for display areas around the store, so we’re going to start on those this week, as well as continuing on with our moving efforts to make more room for storage (that one seems to be taking way too much time!). Being down with some ailments over the last couple of weeks didn’t help anything, but we’re all healthy and up & going strong now!

Ok, for the weather today…
We are definitely looking at a very nice day ahead, with lots of sunshine, a high of 95º, light winds from the southwest, and an average humidity of 60%. The UV index is showing a very high ‘9’, so be careful if you plan to be outside very long today. The sunrise was at 6:24 with the setting at 8:11 this evening, and the overnight low should be 78º (doesn’t sound much like a ‘low’!)
As of now, tomorrow looks to be an exact duplicate of today, so I’d say we’ll have twins!

In the General Store today…
Ok, our lineup this morning is red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, cucumbers, some pickling cucumbers (low), bell peppers, chopper peppers, sweet banana peppers, Marconi peppers, Poblano peppers, zucchini squash, yellow squash, new potatoes (white and red), sweet onions (red, white, and yellow), some eggplant (low), green beans, cantaloupes, and seedless Sweet Gem watermelons. I’ll be looking for more sweet corn today, but at the prices I’ve been seeing, I don’t know what to expect.
I also want to mention that we do have several various 'chopper' peppers, both sweet and hot, in stock for those who want to cut up for freezing. These are all good peppers that have just lost some of their crispness. One of the problems produce stores face is the a/c situation. We have to keep things cool, but as many of you probably know, the a/c units are also a super dehydrator unit as well! As the air is cooled off, the moisture that you always see running out of the unit is actually water that was collected from the inside, leaving that cool, dry comfortable feeling. While that is a great relief to humans, it’s a not so good for produce, which need the moisture to retain their shape and consistency. The result is limp, wrinkled up peppers, green beans, cukes, and many other veggies that rely on moisture to look good. While this is not the most inviting look for veggies, it doesn’t actually hurt their taste or nutrient supplies. I’ve always wondered why several purchase the large, crisp bell peppers (at premium prices), just to cut the tops open, stuff with meat, rice, and such, then put them in the oven, which pulls all the moisture out of them and makes them limp and wrinkled! But I’m not knocking that at all… we have both available for whichever you prefer!

We also have several baked goods in stock this morning, as well as some loaves of sourdough bread from Stude-A-Baker. And we’ll be bringing in more of those loaves this afternoon.

Canned goods, pure raw honey, and apple butters are all in good stock this morning, and our meat freezer is stocked with lots of all-natural ground beef, steaks, and other fine cuts of pasture-grazed, Hereford beef from the local McCorkill Family Farms.
The Barn Room still has some garden items available, including organic fertilizers, natural soil additives, heavy-duty garden tools, soaker hoses, and most of the other garden accessories.

Around the Farmstead today…
I believe Coley will be going strong today, probably helping me at the auction again, as well as back on garden maintenance. I’m also going to share with her about our new display plans.
Basically, we have our large 1800’s cultivator that sits on the lawn across from the General Store, and it’s a real pain to move! Since it makes a SUPER backdrop for anything from hanging baskets, to pumpkins & mums, we just continue to move it so we can mow under it regularly. Cynthia requested that we put some weed-barrier fabric where it goes and then put some mulch or other material over that, making a permanent area for the apparatus so we don’t have to continually strain ourselves moving it to mow. After we discussed things, adding a wood border around it and making adequate room for various displays that we could change throughout the seasons, we decided to go ahead and do that, as well as make a few other such areas with different items that we also have available for display. So, longer story short… you’ll begin seeing some very nice changes in our front areas coming soon!

Of course, my well-educated, intelligent response to her idea was… “Duh!... Why didn’t I think of that?!!”
(That’s one of the main reasons God gave us men good wives!)

Better exit ASAP here, so…
Have a GREAT Monday!!

Friday Evening Update (8/7 ~ 5:30pm)

We just rolled in with 8 boxes of very nice canning tomatoes! We’re able to sell these at .75¢ /lb. ($18.75 box), while supply lasts! If you’re one who contacted us about canners, or need some this weekend, please let us know ASAP and we’ll fix you up.

We also picked up more red and yellow tomatoes for the produce room, as well as picking up our large weekend baked goods order. So come on by and check things out if you get a chance Saturday!

Friday Morning Update (8/7):

While walking across the road to the General Store this morning, I looked up and realized that a ‘master painter’ with the finest paintbrush couldn’t do as well as what I was seeing! The sky looked so breathtaking that I can’t even begin to explain it! It just amazes me how perfect all of creation is! I believe it’s meant to give us beauty, hope, and inspiration to go on throughout our days.

Ok, yesterday was certainly a surprise to many, especially with the sudden serious thunderstorms and rain that hit us in the mid afternoon! I don’t know how much precip we got within that 30 minute time, but it was extremely significant, for sure! There were sheets of water on the road running everywhere and making small lakes wherever it couldn’t drain on within a few seconds. We did lose power here for about an hour or so, and had a couple customers during that time as well. Josh sped into gear and began putting up battery lights around the store, and we pulled out the paper receipt book we keep tucked away under the counter. In between customers, we went out and sat under the porch, watching the rain and visiting. It was actually a refreshing time for us since we couldn’t do anything else but stop and rest. Today isn’t showing anything like that during the daytime, but there are a few chances later this evening.

Today will be the Leadmine auction, as well as our baked goods order being ready to pick up, so we’ll be out again for a while. The Farmstead is pretty well muddy and soggy in areas, so we’ll be skipping those projects again. I’m expecting a little bigger crowd today, so we’ll see how it goes and be ready for anything!

For the weather today…
Right now it looks like a nice mix of sun & clouds most of the day, with a high of 87º, light winds from the south/southwest, an average humidity level of 68%, and a very high UV index of ‘8’. The sunrise took place at 6:21, with the setting due at 8:14pm. And the overnight low should be 68º. Again, there are some significant chances of showers around the 8-9pm timeframe.
As it looks right now, our Saturday should be very nice with lots of sunshine, a high of 92º, and an average humidity of 66%.

In the General Store today…
The Barn Room is in good shape this morning with red tomatoes, cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, bell peppers, chopper peppers, sweet banana peppers, Marconi peppers, Poblano peppers, Jalapeno peppers, zucchini squash, yellow squash, new potatoes (white and red), sweet onions (red, white, and yellow), some eggplant, garlic, fresh green beans, sweet corn, cantaloupes, and seedless Sweet Gem watermelons.
BTW, we also have 2 boxes of CANNER TOMATOES left this morning, so if you’re interested in them, call Josh ASAP, as they won’t last long.
We also have several baked goods in stock this morning, as well as some fresh loaves of sourdough bread from Stude-A-Baker. And we’ll be bringing in our huge Friday order of fresh baked goods this afternoon.

Canned goods, pure raw honey, and apple butters are all in good stock this morning, and our meat freezer is stocked with lots of all-natural ground beef, steaks, and other fine cuts of pasture-grazed, Hereford beef from the local McCorkill Family Farms. BTW, I got ambitious and threw a couple of strip steaks on the Blackstone last evening, along with some potatoes & onions. All I can say is, “Where has this meat been all my life!!” If you haven’t tried it yet, I would HIGHLY recommend doing so! You can actually purchase it on Tuesdays, right from the McCorkills, at the Buffalo Farmer’s Market on 65 hwy in town if you don’t come out this way. Or, we have it here all week long… your choice. It’s really worth the effort to get it!
The Barn Room still has some garden items available, including organic fertilizers, natural soil additives, heavy-duty garden tools, soaker hoses, and most of the other garden accessories.

Around the Farmstead today…
I’m not planning on much again, however, I do need to get back into the Big Shop and continue moving things around. Between the tasks I had to do yesterday, and the storm hitting us in the afternoon, I really didn’t get much else accomplished.
I’m going to leave you with one more thing…
I don’t normally share ‘personal’ things much, but some of you knew I had a pretty serious time with what began as a bad cold. Coley actually came home with it from Ghana, West Africa, and with its origin being out of the country, I was a little concerned. It has run its course now and we’re pretty much over that ordeal, but it left me with problems in my lungs. I’ve had pneumonia in the past, so I need to be careful if/when I get a ‘common cold’ or anything like that, as it attempts to hit me again. I went into the Walk-In clinic a week ago to check my lungs, and they found some signs of “possibly serious” problems, and wanted me back in a week. So, after much praying, yesterday I went back in and saw a doctor, and in visiting with him, found out he had an X-ray of the first time I had the problem, back in 2013. He let me know he examined both the older and newer X-rays and found them to be identical… so long story short(er)… nothing is changed and nothing is getting any worse, so once again, as I love to say… “It’s all good!!”. That was a welcomed relief! Praise the Lord!

Have a GREAT Friday and weekend!!

Thursday Morning Update (8/6):

We have a damp, cloudy morning out there right now, with some chances of showers coming throughout the day. But it’s still a nice day to enjoy and make the most of! We have plenty of things to do inside if/when showers come, and enough to handle outdoors if/when they go. So, once again, (here comes one of my favorite sayings), “It’s all good”!

Ok, yesterday was a great day at the auction! I was able to get a very nice bin of Aphrodite cantaloupes at a decent price. They were a little higher than the last bin, but low enough to keep our prices the same ($2.95ea.). I don’t want to say these could be the last ones of the season, as it seems too early for that, but the way things have been going this year, I can’t say they are not either. We’ll just have to see how things go.
The other thing I handled yesterday was sweet corn. We have had SO MANY who have been asking for more of the good bi-colored corn, so I ended up just bidding to get them. I had to pay too much, but we have them now, and we’re just selling them for the last price we had on these good ones (.65¢ /ear). These look to be the same large, sweet ears as before, and I have to say that they probably will be the last ones unless something happens to change that. If I can be perfectly candid and honest here, we actually don’t make a profit on sweet corn, due to the amounts you need to get for a decent price, the short time they should be in the store before dropping some of their sweetness, and simply the unpredictability of sales. Now, that doesn’t affect what we do here, as we still believe in the rule, ‘If people want/need it, we’re going to have it”. But I just wanted to let you all know that we don’t EVER overcharge on corn trying to make good profits… we just attempt to keep things as balanced as possible. We know we’ll lose some along the way, but we have other items that we can make it up with, so again… “It’s all good”!!
Anyway, if you want some great cantaloupes & sweet corn… they’re here.

Ok, for the weather today...
Looking at the weather apps, I’m not sure what to expect today, but let’s just say we’re going to have periods of showers possible off & on throughout the morning hours, and then again during the later afternoon. The chances range from 20% to 50%, so I’d say we’ll definitely see some moisture today.
The high will be 87º, with light winds from the south, an average humidity of 75%, and the UV index sitting at a ‘7’ (probably in the early afternoon). The sunrise was at 6:20 with the setting coming at 8:15 tonight. And the overnight low should be 73º.
Tomorrow looks similarly unpredictable, so we won’t even attempt that right now.

In the General Store today…
The Barn Room is in good shape this morning with red tomatoes, some yellow tomatoes, some green tomatoes, cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, bell peppers, chopper peppers, sweet banana peppers, Marconi peppers, Poblano peppers, Jalapeno peppers, zucchini squash, yellow squash, new potatoes (white and red), sweet onions (red, white, and yellow), some eggplant, garlic, fresh green beans, sweet corn, cantaloupes, and seedless Sweet Gem watermelons.
BTW, we also have a few boxes of CANNER TOMATOES this morning, so if you’re interested in them, call Josh ASAP, as they won’t last long this morning.
We also have several baked goods in stock this morning, as well as some fresh loaves of sourdough bread from Stude-A-Baker.
Canned goods, pure raw honey, and apple butters are in good stock this morning, and our meat freezer is stocked with lots of all-natural ground beef, steaks, and other fine cuts of pasture-grazed, Hereford beef from the local McCorkill Family Farms.
The Barn Room still has some garden items available, including organic fertilizers, natural soil additives, heavy-duty garden tools, soaker hoses, and most of the other garden accessories.

Around the Farmstead today…
I’m not planning on much again, however, I do need to get back into the Big Shop and continue our moving things around. We got stopped by some small health issues, which we’re pretty much over now, so we’ll soon be moving along again.
I’m going to a final appointment this morning, and then hit things hard, so… we’re still pumped and ready to go on with this year, and still moving towards the upcoming autumn season!

Have a GREAT Thursday!!

Midweek Morning Update (8/5):

Good morning to all on this beautiful August morning in the Ozarks! The Lord’s handiwork is displayed all over the sky right now, with perfectly arranged, patchy skies, harmonious colors that could only be put together by a master painter, and an ambience that is calming to the soul! What a day to be alive!

We’ll be heading to auctions today, mainly looking for more cantaloupes and maybe a few other things to restock, and also dropping off our large baked goods order for Friday. We’re trying to keep our stock a little on the lower side now, as this is our ‘slightly slower’ time of the season and we want to keep things as fresh as possible. It’s a bit more challenging, but we do our best to have good produce when you need it.
We may be going to both auctions today, but we’ll have to see when we get to the first one.

Yesterday was a decent day in the General Store again, and we got a LOT done on the grounds outdoors as well. We have just a little weed-eating left to do and that’s about it. Coley has everything mowed and back in order everywhere else.
I had a water line going to the garden break, so that got repaired yesterday too. The plants were certainly ready for a drink last night when I finally got the water back on!

Wow, not much other ‘immediate news’ for today, so I’ll hop right into the forecast!
For the weather today…
Today should be similar to yesterday, but more clouds mixing in with our sunshine, a high of just 88º, and light winds from the south/southwest most of the day. The average humidity will be 67%, with the UV sitting at a high ‘7’. The sunrise was at 6:20, and the setting will happen at 8:16 this evening. And the overnight low should be around 73º. There are some chances of a few scattered thunderstorms in the later afternoon hours.
At this point, tomorrow is showing chances of scattered showers off and on throughout the day, but I’d say we’ll have to wait and see how that looks tomorrow morning.

In the General Store today…
The Barn Room is back in good shape this morning. I was able to pick up some nice green beans from the Amish yesterday, so we’re good on them again. We did run out of cantaloupe yesterday, and as I mentioned, we’ll be looking for them today. So the lineup right now is red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, green tomatoes (low), cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, bell peppers, chopper peppers, sweet banana peppers, Marconi peppers, Poblano peppers, Jalapeno peppers, zucchini squash, yellow squash, new potatoes (white and red), sweet onions (red, white, and yellow), some eggplant, garlic, fresh green beans, and seedless Sweet Gem watermelons.
We also have several baked goods in stock this morning, as well as a few loaves of sourdough bread from Stude-A-Baker. I’ll be picking up a few more of them today and then several on Friday.
Canned goods, pure raw honey, and apple butters are in good stock this morning, and our meat freezer is stocked with lots of all-natural ground beef, steaks, and other fine cuts of pasture-grazed, Hereford beef from the local McCorkill Family Farms.
The Barn Room still has some garden items available, including organic fertilizers, natural soil additives, heavy-duty garden tools, soaker hoses, and most of the other garden accessories.

Around the Farmstead today…
I’ve been holding off of some of our larger projects, waiting for a little cooler weather to work in. Of course, when that happens, we’ll probably be entering our huge fall season here at the store. I have to admit, it’s a very busy time for us with lots of products to keep in stock and lots of customers to take care of. But we LOVE doing both, so it’s REALLY all good! We have the trucks to do it with, and this year I’m going to be using Coley with one rig and me with the other, so we should be able to handle a lot more in much less time.
I actually like this upcoming season so well that if I’m not careful, I’ll get carried away talking about all of the things like cornstalks, straw bales, pumpkins, large fall gourds, brightly colored mums, all of the small acorn gourds & mini pumpkins, and… (sorry…see what I mean??). Josh and I were both born in the early fall (September), so maybe that’s why we LOVE autumn so much, I don’t know. All I do know is that if you’ve ever been to the General Store in autumn, you probably noticed a “Fall Wonderland” all around you!
And that’s not to mention all of the fall leaves, wreaths, and tons of other handmade fall décor items we’ll have inside, along with…

Have a GREAT Wednesday today!!

Tuesday Morning Update (8/4):

It is a gorgeous late-summer morning out there right now, with 69º, balmy breezes, and the sun just now arriving to make this day happen! Definitely a promising one ahead!

Yesterday was a good day both in the General Store and also at the auction. Sales were a little better than average for this time of year in the store, with lots of produce selling, as well as a general mix of other items. And at the auction, I was able to pick up most of what we needed, other than sweet corn. There hasn’t been enough corn to ‘go around’ lately, but I know there are a couple of harvests of it still ahead so we’ll wait and see what they bring. Also, we’ve slowed down on requests for it, as well as a few other items, due to the time of the season right now. Things should be picking up again soon for another run of business, so, “it’s all good!”

We have several things to take care of today, so we’ll be busy with those during the morning hours, then, we’ll be back to working around here again, getting things a little more ‘back in shape’. I had to take Coley with me to the Hickory Co. auction, so neither of us was here for a lot of the day yesterday. But today we’ll both be here (after our morning issues).

For the weather today…
Right now it’s looking like full sunshine much of the day, with a high of 92º, light winds from the south/southwest, a humidity level of just 59%, and a very high UV index of ‘9’. The sunrise was at 6:19, with the setting coming at 8:17 tonight. And the overnight low should be 74º.
With the humidity being lower, I don’t think the higher temperature will be as hard on us today. You can always find some shade here & there to cool down a bit!
Tomorrow looks to be somewhat similar, but with cloud activity moving in and bringing some lower temps. There will also be some stray chances of a few scattered storms in the later afternoon hours.

In the General Store today…
The Barn Room is back in pretty good shape this morning, with the lineup being red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, green tomatoes, new cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, new bell peppers, chopper peppers, sweet banana peppers, Marconi peppers, Poblano peppers, Jalapeno peppers, zucchini squash, yellow squash, new potatoes (white and red), sweet onions (red, white, and yellow), a few eggplant, garlic, green beans, seedless Sweet Gem watermelons, and cantaloupes (very low). I do need some green beans again and will be checking with the Amish today.
We also have several baked goods in stock this morning, as well as our loaves of sourdough bread from Stude-A-Baker.
Canned goods, pure raw honey, and apple butters are in good stock this morning, and our meat freezer is stocked with lots of all-natural ground beef, steaks, and other fine cuts of pasture-grazed, Hereford beef from the local McCorkill Family Farms.
The Barn Room still has some garden items available, including organic fertilizers, natural soil additives, heavy-duty garden tools, soaker hoses, and most of the other garden accessories.

Around the Farmstead today…
Again, we’ll start with garden maintenance, then moving on to our cleanup again, and then we’ll see where we are on a couple of other projects. I’m trying to not ‘over-plan’ as much as I normally tend to do. So many times I either run out of time, or other things come up that take me away from my ‘planned schedule’, causing frustration and stress. I’m attempting to limit that as much as possible, while still pushing ahead to accomplish as much as possible. Wow… has that been a difficult task for me!! I’ve always been geared to push & go with pretty much everything I do, but with some of the recent back and body issues, I’m realizing that sometimes too much of a good thing is not a good thing, even in my work methods! That’s one reason I’ve been working Coley into the mix lately. I love what I do here, but if I’m not careful, I may not be able to keep doing what I love unless I handle it wisely… Make sense?!

Ok, with that said…
Have a GREAT Tuesday!!
