❤️ We just LOVE being highlighted on the American Farmstand Association page! 🌾

We are so thankful for the support and love shown to The Blanchard Mercantile. It means so much to be part of a community that celebrates small farmstands, local makers, and the hard work that goes into bringing a little piece of the farm to our community.

Thank you all for supporting our little farmstand and continuing to share our story! ❤️

❤️ A BIG THANK YOU! ❤️

I want to take a moment to thank Olivia Blanchard Maggie Bindel Renee Blanchard for stepping in and taking care of The Blanchard Mercantile while my husband and I enjoyed a little getaway over the last week and a half! They made sure the Mercantile stayed stocked with goodies for all of you, and I appreciate them more than they know! ❤️

We had quite the adventure, traveling through 13 different states! We took in Washington, D.C., attended the Homesteaders of America Conference in Virginia, explored the Smoky Mountains, enjoyed the Grand Ole Opry in Tennessee, and even stopped at a few fun roadside farm stands along the way! So much to see and do, and we had a wonderful time!

But now it’s back to work! 👩‍🍳 I’ll be back in the kitchen today, getting busy making some of The Good Stuff!

And YES… PIES WILL BE ON THE LIST! 🥧🙌

Is there something special you’d like to see in the Mercantile? Let me know in the comments or send me a message. I’m ready to get baking!

Thanks again for supporting our little farmstand and for being so patient while we took a little time away. We’re happy to be home and can’t wait to see you all again at The Blanchard Mercantile! 🌻❤️
