Open for Business

Being a small business owner is not all fun and games.....and that is putting it mildly. Opening day was as we know required my getting out of warm bed at an unsightly 2:30 AM to drive to the Atlanta Farmers Market. Market itself was cool deal....meeting, talking, haggling the dealers and searching for the "just right" product. But, getting this stuff out of the truck once I arrived back at the store was a different story. Just remember, this was all completed before 8:00 AM in the morning....had you had your first copy of coffee at that time?



The entire first day was mostly spent arranging displays and pricing items...and did I mention making money? We did this too...a little anyway......


Day 2 was spent with outside chores, arranging displays....and making more money....a little bit more anyway....



Come see what we are doing if you can...here are a few photos to salivate over in the meantime.



Thanks for looking...

Opening Day!

It is 3:00 AM and I am on my way to the Atlanta Farmers Market in Forest Park. I am told the Georgia vendors sell out their goods between 4:30 - 5:00 AM...This is soooo early!

This is "Opening Day" finally....and fingers are crossed all will go well. So wish us luck and I will update with photos and events after this weekend....

Thanks all and if you are in the area......drop in for a visit and a tomato or two.....

Update on Opening

Well, as of today I still have no word on when the new store signs will be ready. Hopefully Tim Gilstrap and his crew from New Beginning Signs will have them ready for installation soon.

Rick picked up the scales last week from Jake and they were inspected and declared calibrated for business on Monday.

Garden is doing well...we are seeing the first vegetables of the season....ahhh, homegrown! Here are a few pics to record their progress.

One last bit of news...looks like the tentative date for opening will be June 25, 2009.

Thanks for checking in.....Lisa
