Harvest Fresh - Opening Soon

Thank you for your encouragement and support of Harvest Fresh Market & Delicatessen. The responses we have received have been very encouraging.  Many of you have already signed up to be on our email list for weekly ads, daily dinner specials and harvesting news.   If you haven’t signed up yet, you can do so at: www.theharvestfreshmarket.com

Some have also asked questions about what Harvest Fresh Market will be like. We will respond directly to individual questions and we will answer questions of more general interest on our website and in the Front Porch News. Two questions that have been repeatedly asked are:

QUESTION: Why is it taking so long to open?

ANSWER:

It takes time to be really fresh.

Harvest Fresh Market is committed to offering the freshest, healthiest foods from Indiana family farms. It has taken a great deal of time and effort to visit the farms, establish personal relationships with the farmers and set up direct supply lines with them. We hope you will appreciate the effort; we know you will be able to taste the difference.

QUESTION:  Will your food be really expensive?

ANSWER:

No. Our goal is to provide you with fresh, healthy, nourishing, tasty foods from local family farms at a value price. We all know that it does cost more money to grass-feed beef in open pastures without the use of artificial hormones and growth stimulants. It does cost more money to raise chickens and produce eggs when you limit the flock size and use environmentally sound farming methods. It does cost more money to grow fruits and vegetables using sustainable, chemical free farming practices. However, we save money by:

1.      Buying local we will minimize transportation and handling costs (we will also be reducing our carbon footprint), and;

2.      Buying direct from the farmers we eliminate the middle man.

We expect some of our prices will be a little higher than supermarket ads, but some will also be lower. We know all of our products will be priced fairly and will offer you the best value for your food dollar.

We’re excited about the opening of Harvest Fresh Market. We hope you are too.

VWC Garden Club

The next meeting of The Garden Club will be held on Tuesday evening, September 22nd at 7:00 P.M. in the Green Room of The Meeting House. The program, "It Ain't Over Yet: Getting Your Garden Ready for Fall" will be presented by a representative from Sundown Gardens and will be filled with ideas about enjoying your garden well into autumn. This should be a very informative evening and we hope you will all join us.

Bulbs ordered through the Garden Club can be picked up prior to the meeting.  A big THANK YOU to all who ordered bulbs and supported the Garden Club through our sale.

A New Partnership

As we approach the ten year anniversary of this outstanding community, we are proud to celebrate the many contributions of residents, builders, architects, and business owners. This neighborhood represents a wide variety of amenities and styles found in few other places in the United States.

We continue to look for additional ways to assist the unique needs of our residents and businesses. In 2005, we opened Brenwick Realty's storefront to offer residents a boutique realty company focused on representing the personal interests of our community. Our knowledge and insights have helped us represent many buyers, sellers, and builders. We are proud to announce an expanded offering as Brenwick Realty joins forces with Keller Williams, the 3rd largest realty company in the country.

Donna Park, who was asked to launch Brenwick Realty's WestClay office, will lead the Brenwick Realty Team of Keller Williams and would like to welcome Judy Berthold, Teresa Hudson and Michele Chapman to the team. They will continue to provide the excellent service you have come to know from their WestClay office along with the expanded resources of an international company.

The Brenwick Realty team of Keller Williams is committed to your neighborhood and is proud to be the sponsors of The Village of WestClay® swim team and the grand sponsors of the ice cream social. They would be honored to assist you, your family and friends with any of your real estate needs. Stop by their office or call them at 317-574-1144. And they invite you to come join the fun on Sunday in University Green at the ice cream social.
