Well here we go again!!!

February 14, 2024, 05:42 AM

Last fall I purchased a piece of property right on the 4 lane highway just north of my current shop. We are building a retail shop with a small kitchen/prep area. It has always been a future plan of mine but it just came together really quick and yesterday they set the trusses and drilled the well. We are hoping to be open in spring. We also got all our paper work done and will be USDA inspected as of next Tuesday morning..
