I just pulled up for a weekend order and was shocked to see the shuttered store. Great to hear that you are pressing on. Is there anything your loyal customer community can do to help?

Please post if there is anything that we can do for you in the interim. The community is yours, and we all will be there for you.

Devastating news! My heart goes out to everyone.
Was the brick cheese saved? I’ve got Detroit pizzas to make. (Too soon?)

Jackie & Damu: My heart was just broken for you when I pulled up to grab a coffee on my way over for produce at what is truly the BEST family-owned produce/meat market that I have loved ever since I began working in the area over 10 years ago. I cannot begin to fathom what you must be going through. I am with you in spirit and support you and small, local business. This is a shameful thing that should not happen. You are on my mind! Best, Ben K.

Clearly you two have made a huge impact on the community with your wonderful business so let us help you. I would be honored to help in anyway to get things started. Perhaps we can help with the clean up from the fire or whatever is needed. I’m retired and have plenty of time on my hands. Please post if we as a community can give back to you.
