Rural Route Rust & Beyond the Rim of the Prairie

We have two exciting events coming up soon in the Valley:

Bloom Where You're Planted Farm, 911-108th St., Avoca, is hosting the first-annual Rural Route Rust Sale in conjunction with their annual Spring Open House, April 13-14.  Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.  

Shop the farmyard and barn for antiques, primitives, repurposed and handmade items, vintage treasures, and rusty gold from Bloom Where You're Planted Farm and about a dozen more great vendors.  Get hot lunch and homemade baked goods in the Schoolhouse Cafe.  The youngsters (and young at heart) will enjoy playing around the farm and visiting the horses, cows, goats & chickens.  Admission is FREE!

Visit the farm's Facebook page for more details.
