The Pittie Stop Farm Stand

06/03/2026

Good evening Friends!! Because Evanston is a drive for many folks who visit it’s important that we have inventory when you get here. The building will help because of space & shelf stable snacks etc BUT until then & even after what is the best way for me to communicate to you what we have in the stand? I tried the pinned post but a lot of people said they struggled finding it. I know if I post multiple times a day you don’t always see the latest post unless you purposely go to the page & search by latest activity. Could it be easier on a different platform like TikTok or IG? Do we do an email or text alert system that updates you a few times a day? Or do we just say let’s live dangerously & see what’s there when we get there? I actually don’t like that because gas isn’t cheap 😞

Let’s hear what you think would work best? Someone even suggested a constant live feed but I don’t know about that 🤣 I say bad words sometimes 😉

Thank you ❤️

A few weeks ago a friend asked me to make a banana cookie & I sent her to Sweet Anniebelles because no one makes banana pudding cookies better. She loved them 😍 And then she came back & said, “I want YOU to make me a banana cookie” Just between us she’s always been bossy 😉 SO….banana bread cookies I made 😂 with walnuts, her favorite & another batch we also threw in chocolate chips 🍪 I am working on another order now but this weekend they will be ready to be released out into the wild 🤪

THANK YOU!! ❤️ We are closed for the night!!! I am SO grateful to you!!

When I opened the stand I sat down & wrote out a plan & a timeline & so far not one thing on the timeline has happened when planned. I was a bit umm ambitious to say the least 😁 However I still have the plan & I still want to accomplish all of the things. One thing that we skipped a few beats ahead on is in the photos 😍

I wanted a building with a storefront. It may seem silly but I felt it connected me to my great grandparents who had a store in Tobinsport.
I saw a building just like this one in a post & I did a deep dive on where to find one. I finally located the manufacturer, contacted them & they told me they no longer make them. I was bummed but it just meant that something else would come along. Friday before last I was waiting on something to finish baking so I scrolled through social media ….and there it was 😍 It makes me laugh. It’s a bit ridiculous like me 😂 So we are going to just plop this right down in the yard & have a new farm stand! I could not have done this without the support of my family. You really can do anything if someone believes in you ….and I am SO blessed & extra blessed to have an Aunt Earla who has encouraged me, shared with me & helped me from the start ♥️ I have THE greatest friends ever!! And through this I have awesome new friends & we are all working so hard to grow & build this community. AND to have fun doing it!

I hope as you drive down the “lane” (haha get it 😉) of Evanston & you see this you will smile ……maybe even chuckle ….even better, stop 😂 It’s not as big as the plan but it’s a lot earlier! I am going to pack it as full as I can with things that I make with the intent to enhance your life ♥️

I am not sure when it’ll be here but you’ll know! It won’t be perfect right away but a little at a time we will shine it up & it will change & evolve as we do!!

AND now you know why I asked what staples you wanted stocked on the regular 😉

Again, THANK YOU! ♥️ All of your support means everything!

If you need a late night snack Sweet Anniebelles Ten Point Dough are both open all night!!!

We will be closed tomorrow!
