Attending this week’s market: 

New Vendor!
Little Farm in the Big Woods of Whitehall
We are looking forward to starting our experience as vendors at Sweetwater Market this week! We have a small farm in Whitehall where, up to this point, we have been raising vegetables, fruit and chickens for our own consumption. We are looking forward to providing these items that we have been enjoying to the customers at Sweetwater. Right now we mainly just have lots of eggs to sell, but we hope to expand our offerings in the future. Our chickens are fed organic feed from Grice Farms. We soak their feed for higher digestibility. In the summer they are in a chicken tractor that typically gets moved every few days. They enjoy bugs, greenery and scraps from our kitchen and garden. Our 1 and a half year old son enjoys going in their fence and following them around, because of this they are very tame chickens! We look forward to meeting everyone on Saturday.
