We are now getting fresh, locally grown strawberries! Order our special strawberry pies, muffins, scones and more while the season lasts!

Every Saturday from 8-1 we will be at the Meridian Farmers Market which is located just off Marsh Road, behind the Meridian Mall (look for the tall clock tower). We'll be bringing our yummy pies, cookies, muffins, and scones.
