He said, “Sometimes, to a consumer, the milk doesn’t always look pretty. But what’s the issue is it going to be pretty or more wholesome?” A batch ice cream maker can make five gallons in 20 minutes.

Heindel noted that, in the bureaucracy, “there are good people and some can be nasty.” For the Heindel family, it is critical that the farm market is perceived correctly. Plans are to place an observation window into the processing plant for tour groups after all the “bugs” have been ironed out. They used the main road frontage of Rt. 74 to provide vis ibility.

It will also create a good image for the dairy farmer as well.” The central issue: to market the product, 50 percent of it must come from the farm. A farmer, noted Heindel, should be able to “sell his products and build a store to sell them in,” he said. But what does the 50 per cent refer to? The value of the product? The amount in the retail space? That is not speci fied in the zoning. Regardless, the farm market will expand its retail offerings in the days ahead. According to Jeffrey’s wife, Roxy, a grand opening is sched uled May 11-13. Farm store hours are 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and closed Sunday. —YjJ CLOSED SUNDAYS, NEW YEAR, EASTER MONDAY, ASCENSION DAY, WHIT MONDAY, OCT. 11, THANKSGIVING, F»a*lTHI CHRISTMAS & DECEMBER 26TH FISHER’S FURNITURE, INC.
