Red Barn Farm Market

Christmas is fast approaching and with it comes this news: 2011 will be the last year that Red Barn opens its doors for Christmas sales.  We wish to thank you, our loyal customers, for your support over the years.  Beginning in 2012, Red Barn will be open from mid April to October 30.  We have heard that this decision has disrupted some families' Christmas traditions.  We are truly sorry for this and hope you can support other local businesses in the future holiday seasons.

The good news for all:  THE SALES!!  From Dec. 14 - Dec. 22, all already reduced Christmas merchandise will be an additional 30% off.  (hours 10-6 each day)  Dec. 23-25, we are closed to enjoy Christmas with our families.  Then there will be a 3 Day Sale. (hours 9-4 each day)  Dec. 26-27, the merchandise will be 50% off the already reduced prices.  Dec. 28, all remaining merchandise will be 75% off.  Come on out and see us.  There are bargains to be had!!

Merry Christmas and a blessed and happy new year to all.  Have a peaceful winter.  See you in the spring!

As always, the Red Barn Farm Market is open everyday from 8 am to 6 pm.  We still have a full line of fresh vegetables like sweet corn, beans, and tomatoes and some local fruits like Michigan peaches and apples.  For fall, we have squash, potatoes, cider, and taffy apples.  For decorating we have corn stalks, broom corn, Indian corn, mini straw bales, hay bales, and gourds.  The pumpkins should be ready sometime this week.  We are putting up all our fun scarecrows this week.  There are plenty of mums of various colors to choose from!

One final note on our school tours:  these include a wagon ride to the pumpkin patch to pick one to take home, an educational talk, and play time.  It all takes about one hour.  the tours are available weekdays from 8:30-4 (except Columbus Day).  The cost is $5 per child (minimum of 6 children per tour) and reservations are required. These make a great birthday party!
