Farms On Main

We grow these Dutch Fork Pie Pumpkins every year. They are wholesaling at a local food hub for $24 each. Chefs love them. We have them at the store @FarmsOnMain for $20 for the largest ones and $14 for smaller ones.

Like 1000’s of restaurants, I use @Sysco as my supplier. Every chance they get, they substitute their own in house label instead of what you usually order. And every single time their product is, like embarrassingly bad. They don’t care. Only care about a better margin. I’ve told them 100 times to stop, they don’t. They count on you being too lazy to care. I’ve been ordering the same garlic parm sauce for years. It’s good! They sent me this instead. I wouldn’t serve this utter shit to a dog. They have no shame. So farewell Sysco. I know I’m a small fish and you don’t care, but I can’t tell you how good it makes me feel to say fuck off forever. You are a shit company and my life will be better off not doing business with you.

A stranger bought a farm worth $3 million. Two weeks later, Greg Judy had a 7-year lease on it. The first two years were free. Jan and Greg had been riding their horses past that place for two years, watching it sit empty. First a sale sign. Nobody could afford it. Then it sold anyway. Greg called the new owner. A doctor in a Cadillac Escalade with $500 shoes. Showed up in Greg's 20-year-old Toyota. Greg opened a gate. Let out a war whoop. Steers ran into the next paddock, put their heads down, and started eating. Two weeks later, a 7-year lease. No fence on the property. No water. Greg and Doc built all of it together. After one year, Doc told him: "If you keep doing what you're doing, I never want to sell this farm." That's a relationship built on showing up, sending updates, and making the land better than you found it. Your rancher, Jason Hanley | 208-714-0478

Mayberry was make believe but Newberry is real. Y’all should come to our store @FarmsOnMain in the downtown, maybe stop by for the Oktoberfest on 2-3 October

September 6, 1916. The first true self service grocery store, called Piggly Wiggly, opened in Memphis, and it completely changed the way people shop for food. Before this, buying groceries was a slow, personal process. You handed a clerk your list, and he went around the store gathering everything for you while you waited. It was inefficient, required lots of staff, and gave shoppers no chance to browse. A businessman named Clarence Saunders had a radical idea. What if customers just walked through the aisles themselves, picked their own items off the shelves, and carried them to a checkout counter at the front. He put price tags on everything and let people serve themselves. It sounds completely ordinary now, because it became the model for virtually every supermarket on earth. Aisles, shelves you browse, a basket you fill, a checkout line at the end, all of it grew from this store. The entire modern shopping experience was invented when Piggly Wiggly opened its doors on this day.
