Welcome to this week’s “In the Market” update! 🌿✨
Wow — we set a new weekly sales record last week! That’s exciting because late August into early September is usually when things slow down for markets like ours. Instead, we’ve seen a wave of new customers looking for quality produce, pasture-raised eggs, local meats, and Wilson Ranch RAW milk.
A lot seems to be bringing folks our way right now — produce recalls, egg recalls, questions about meat sourcing, Wilson Ranch being featured on local TV, and that sweet JML Artistry video about Mother Vine. Word of mouth is powerful, and we are thankful for every regular, new face, tag, share, and review.
🥩 With demand growing for local meats, we’re adding new local meat suppliers alongside Double B Ranch, Harper Farms, and Maygo Broke Farms. First up is Tribe Ranch in Bonnerdale, AR. They raise grass-fed, grain-finished wagyu beef with no hormones or steroids. Their beef is higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, higher in essential vitamins, and lower in saturated fat than standard commercial beef. We’ll have their ground beef and snack sticks starting Friday afternoon.
Next week, we’ll also receive processed beef from a whole grass-fed, grass-finished Dexter steer we purchased from Hanks Haven Farm in White Hall, AR. Dexter cattle are an Irish heritage breed, and we’ll have steaks, roasts, ground beef, marrow bones, liver, leaf fat, and more.

💡 Insider tip: Most of our weekly inventory arrives Thursday, with the rest landing by late Friday morning. We do our best to stay stocked, but baked goods, glass bottled milk, eggs, and some produce are limited and can sell out before the weekend is over. For the best selection, try to shop Thursday, Friday, or early Saturday.
Thank you for helping Mother Vine grow and supporting our local makers and growers. We’ll see you this week! 💚🌿
