Introducing..... Cook's Market at Pug's Place

WOW!!! It has been so long since I posted on my blog!  So much has transpired since then that it would be way to long a post to catch up, so I think that I am just going to go forward with a few flashbacks every now and then! Christmas is only 1 week away and as per usual, I am not done with my shopping! We have been so busy with our new store that I have barely had time to think, much less actually get into the car and go somewhere!  For those of you who do not know, Dale and I have opened a store here in Dadeville. The store was originally just a farmers market and we had kept that as the main focus, but you know me, I have to add my own little kick to it!  In our store, Cook's Market at Pug's Place, we offer: fresh fruit and vegetables(including some organic varieties), frozen fruits, veggies, soups, stews and soup mixes, Das Jam Haus jams and jellies, Alabama Honey, Wickles Pickles, Amish Canned Chicken(this stuff is crazy good and contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives),Sorghum Syrup, Hot Boiled Peanuts(regular and cajun flavor) and a variety of other grocery items such as milk, bread, cornbread mix etc. Cook's Market also has it's very own cake caterer, Kelly's Cakes that provides cakes for us in the store as well as custom cakes to fit any customers needs!  We always have some of our soups and stews hot and ready to eat as well, so far our Brunswick Stew, Potato Soup(very much like Panera Breads) and Asparagus Soup have really taken off with our customers.  These are available for special order to our customers as well! If you eat at any of the restaurants up here, then you are eating some of our produce!  To cater to my creative side, we have a gift department that includes: jewelry, purses, fleece shoulder shrugs and seasonal decor. Right now of course, we have Christmas decor out, we have Christmas themed rag wreaths, cute Santa and Snowman tins that are great for candy or chips or just to have sitting on a table somewhere, Gingerbread Man ceramic coaster sets, doorknob hangers, stockings for your dog and Christmas jewelry.  Another service that we offer is vinyl customization, we can customize just about everything but you! Right now we have some tooooo cute drinkware and dinnerware that we have customized for Christmas.  After Christmas we will have customized stationary, invitations, drinkware, dinnerware etc.  You can buy something that we already have customized, order something customized or bring in your own items for customization!  We also do wall decor and auto decor!  Cook's Market also has garden items such as pinestraw, fire pits and firewood.  We have seasonal garden items as well, our Christmas trees went very quickly this year and we had to do a re-order on live wreaths.  This Spring, we will have a great selection of tropical plants and garden/patio furniture.  Basically we have a little bit of everything!  After the beginning of the year, we are adding a full service fresh meat market! It has been  alot of blood, sweat and tears(literally), but we have been blessed by our Heavenly Father with a wonderful business and an awesome group of customers so far.  Alright, with all that being said, it is now time for me to get ready and go up to the store, I do alot of work from home, but I do have to get up there as much as I can!  Hope everyone has a blessed day! Love to all!
