We are excited to welcome a new local author to Ellis Farm Store.

Jessie Kreidler’s novel Sentinel: A Protector’s Purpose is now available in-store — and every copy comes with a complimentary bookmark designed to accompany the story.

📚 Saturday, March 21
⏰ 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM

Meet the author, have your copy signed, and support local talent — including the local artisan who created the artwork featured in the book and bookmarks.

There’s something special about gathering around stories.

Come in, grab your copy, and be part of it.

💕💕 We are incredibly grateful and humbled to share some exciting news.

Our store has been selected as one of just 400 recipients nationwide of the 2025 Backing Small Business Grant.

To be recognized in this way is truly an honor. This grant affirms the vision we’ve been building — a store rooted in community, collaboration, and support for the amazing vendors who make this space so special.

Many of you have already seen Phase One of our restructuring in progress. We’ve been thoughtfully working through changes to improve flow, highlight our vendors, and create an even stronger experience for our customers. Thanks to this grant, we’re able to continue moving forward with intention and momentum.

We are excited about what’s ahead — new collaborations, new energy, and new opportunities for our community.

Thank you for supporting small business. Thank you for believing in local. And thank you for growing with us.

There is still more to come. ✨

We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2025 Backing Small Businesses grant program, supported by American Express.
