The Fair Food Farmstand where Picky works during the week is finally moving. Yes, it was initially supposed to be up and running in the new spot along the 12th St side back in July. And then it was pushed back to August. And then September. And then mid-September (I guessed August 14th, when the projected move was July 4th weekend). Well, it's finally moving and Saturday will be the last day it'll be open at the old location nestled between Metropolitan Bakery, Amy's Place and Bee Natural by the northeast entrance to the market.
Starting Tuesday September 22nd (or Wednesday the 23rd), the Farmstand will be at a spot with over twice the square footage of the old digs. More produce, more meats and dairy, more baked goods. More of the same stuff, added new stuff. The new space should be more customer friendly with more walking space, 2 checkout counters for when it gets busy and staff will be more out there for increased customer interaction instead of stuck behind the register in what we call the prep area. It's pretty exciting.
It'll be a soft opening and a lot of big and little things will be ironed out during the first week or two of operation; it'll be a soft opening. There will be a grand opening in early October. If you're in the market stop on by at the old spot to say goodbye to a location which has served us well and take a stroll over to the new spot and see what's to come.
