Oklahoma has a new Farmer’s Market Style, the Farmer’s Market Hub, and Shepherd’s Cross is a Hub, providing local home-grown products from many homesteaders, farmers, and ranchers all year.
Shepherd’s Cross is recruiting gardeners, farmers, ranchers, and homestead consignors to expand selection in the Farm Store. They are looking for locally and sustainably grown produce, fruit, food products, and flowers as well as local handmade baked goods and canned goods. Those interested can call or drop-by the Farm Storefor more information. An application may be found online at https://shepherdscross.com/farm-store.html or picked up in-person.
Shepherd’s Cross Farm Store is located indoors, and is air-conditioned and heated. The current expansion project will allow for additional space for refrigeration and freezers. They are open Tuesday through Saturday 8:30 – 5:30, year-round (closed some holidays).
