Greetings Customers!

It's official,Spring has finally shown up!. Ahh smell the aroma of grains steeping in the lauter tun. The wonderful smell of wort cooking in the pot and the fragrance of hops in the air. Yes this is a sure sign of spring. If you can't smell these wonderful aromas, then you need to do something about that. Come on down for a visit, and we can fix you right up with a recipe.

Now about that wine kit tasting night. I have tried to call everyone I know who bought a kit in the last few months, but I may have missed a few people.Sorry for the late notice if I missed you. March 12th at 7:30, (Yes this Friday) there will be a wine tasting of the homemade kits that you all have made. If you have 4 or 5 bottles left, and want to participate, then please call me and I will give you details. This is an opportunity to try the different kits and to trade bottles with other people. This will only be open to the kit makers at this time. We hope this will evolve into something bigger at a later time.

I'm excited to bring you all new products! I am now going to carry spices, sausage mixes, marinades, beef rubs, and so much more. I even have the ever popular and hard to find, vanilla bean. It will take a little while to get everything here, but I have some in stock already. I will have supplies for the deer hunters, game hunters and meat processors. If you like to cook then you need to check out the new products. Even if you don't, then these products will help you be a better cook.

This spring we will do work to the shop and make it bigger so shopping can be even easier. I'll be gearing up for canning season too with more new products to make gardening more fun. We want to get the most out of our gardens we can.

Think about the fruits and vegetables that can give you double duty rewards. Not only can you eat them, but can you make jellies, relishes, and wines out of them?  I bet you can. So plan your gardens with great thought and make it easy for yourself to enjoy every minute of it.

Don't forget that Easter is around the corner. Remember your favorite wine and beer maker. Give them a basket with wine or beer making supplies, I assure you that the return is worth it.

Look for more classes to come up soon. Enjoy the weather, stay safe, and happy planting!
