Bread! It's one of the most commonly requested items in the Farm Stand & Market. We wanted to partner with a local bakery who can meet our exacting standards and create a great loaf of bread. Working with Vintage Baking Co in Bartlett was a natural choice. We're excited that they have agreed to collaborate with us and offer weekly bread deliveries to T.H.E. Farm Stand & Market.
We'll begin offering baker's choice loaves each week starting May 11. While this is a new arrangement, we may choose a variety of loaves to see which ones are favorites or showcase a new flavor. Come in and purchase a loaf and give us your feedback. Afternoon deliveries are anticipated on Wednesdays and Fridays.
T.H.E. Farm Stand & Market is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11am-8pm.
March 30 - We want to welcome our new farmer to Thompson House Eatery: Andrew McBean. Andrew entered farming as a second career in 2017. Most recently, he managed Whiting Farm and continued to hone his knowledge from life-time farmer, Elmer Whiting. Together, they leaned into technology and created systems to harness the power of the commercial farm.
When Whiting Farm closed in February 2022, Andrew saw the serendipitous opportunity arise here at Thompson House Eatery.
"Farming is a lifestyle, it's what I am supposed to do. Much like Jeff and Kate, I appreciate how we use our time here and how it affects the planet we care so much about. Local practices can give you the best quality while providing the basic essential every human needs, food."
The experience that Andrew has managing a large farm will help Thompson House Eatery develop systems to gain efficiencies while continuing to grow high-quality produce that makes our menu sing.
According to Chef Jeff, “It’s been really wonderful to see how Andrew is bringing his experience to life here at Thompson House Eatery. And, really diving into our smaller, specialty farm operation. I’m really excited to be working with such a passionate farmer.”
T.H.E. farm is off to a great start with seedlings germinating in our greenhouses. While most of the seedlings are destined for the fields, some will be set aside for guests to purchase in T.H.E. Farm Stand & Market. Look for more details this May.
February 9, 2022 - We are proud to announce that T.H.E. Farm Stand & Market is now an approved USDA SNAP retailer. Increasing community access to good food is the core of what Jeff & Kate envisioned when they planned to create the Farm Stand & Market.
Open since September 2021, the Farm Stand & Market offers dry goods; local produce, dairy, and meats; house-made soups and sauces; and many specialty culinary products.
According to Jeff Fournier, Chef-owner of Thompson House Eatery, "By opening our doors to offer what we grow on our property, and what we bring in from partner farms, we can increase access to produce that is harvested in season and at the peak of their flavor and nutritional value."
The Farm Stand & Market aims to be a place where community members can get the best ingredients for preparing and enjoying meals at home.
Co-owner, Kate Fournier, feels strongly about food equity, "Access to good food should be open to everyone and that's why it is important for us to become a SNAP retailer. We, as a family and as a business, want to ensure that we are creating and supporting equitable access to good food and good futures (of which nutrition is a big piece) in our community."
The Farm Stand & Market is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11am to 8pm. Learn more about SNAP.
