Vendor of the Week: Stoll’s Greenhouse

Stoll’s Greenhouse offers a diverse range of products at their booth. Their offerings include a variety of fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables, including seasonal items like sweet corn, okra, eggplant, and melons that will be available at the market starting during the second weekend of July. Additionally, they provide baked goods, house plants, hanging baskets, herbs, eggs, jellies, and peanut butter.

Inspired by a long family tradition of farming, the Stoll family established the greenhouse as a way to share their love for growing produce. The family has been involved in farming for more than 18 years, and their experience and passion for agriculture have been passed down through generations. Today, Stoll’s Greenhouse continues the legacy, ensuring that customers receive the freshest and highest-quality products.

What sets Stoll’s Greenhouse apart is the personal touch and care given to each product. The Stoll family handles everything themselves, from the very beginning of the process, ensuring that every item reflects their dedication to quality. They take pride in witnessing the daily progress of their plants and hope that customers will appreciate and enjoy the produce as much as they do.

Although Stoll’s Greenhouse is not certified organic, they follow sustainable practices and prioritize the responsible use of resources. They are committed to using safe and environmentally friendly methods, ensuring that their plants and products are free from harmful substances. They believe in providing wholesome and healthy options for their customers, and don’t use anything on their plants they wouldn’t want their children to have.

Customers should keep an eye out for highly sought-after items like sugar snap peas and strawberries, which tend to sell out quickly each year early in the season. Additionally, Stoll’s Greenhouse offers a delightful mix of cherry tomatoes and fairytale eggplant, which can be enjoyed in a grilled preparation with olive oil, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Customers can support Stoll’s Greenhouse not only at the farmers market but also by visiting their farmstand, greenhouse, and store located in Washington. Their range of products, including geraniums, can be found at the greenhouse, providing an opportunity for customers to extend their support beyond the market.

Stoll’s Greenhouse is more than just a vendor at the farmers market; it is a family-owned business rooted in a deep love for farming and a commitment to providing fresh, sustainable, and high-quality products to the community.

Jenny DiLegge: Crafting Unique Jewelry with a Touch of Shimmer and Shine

Meet Jenny DiLegge, the creative mind behind Shimmer and Shine Jewelry. While her journey began with the establishment of her brand, her passion for creativity has deep roots. As a child, Jenny was captivated by her Mom and Grandmother’s talents in crochet, sewing, and even holiday table arrangements that could rival Martha Stewart and Better Homes and Gardens. They nurtured her creative spirit and taught her the art of crafting her own creations. Jenny’s most cherished childhood gift was a small plastic craft box that contained everything she needed to learn the art of embroidery. From that moment on, her creative outlets were vast and ever-evolving, with jewelry making becoming her most enduring form of expression.

Jenny embarked on her jewelry-making and Shimmer and Shine journey back in 2011 when she first showcased her creations at Bitterman’s on Main Street. Following the store’s closure, she found a welcoming home for her jewelry at River City Coffee. Even today, you can still find a selection of her exquisite pieces there. Additionally, you can discover her jewelry at Opie and Eleanors on the West side of Evansville, as well as at Traditional Arts Today in Ferdinand, Indiana. For updates and more information, be sure to visit her Facebook page, “Shimmer and Shine Evansville.”

Crafts That Inspire: Wire Jewelry and More
At Shimmer and Shine, Jenny’s craftsmanship is focused on creating wire jewelry from scratch, starting with a simple spool of wire. She employs silver and gold-plated non-tarnishing wire, along with copper and rose gold, to fashion her unique designs. Her collection encompasses a wide variety of necklaces and earrings, all born from her own creative vision. If you appreciate the healing effects of essential oils, Shimmer and Shine offers bracelets that incorporate lava rocks as carriers of these aromatic essences. The porous nature of the lava rocks allows them to absorb and retain the oils, providing you with their therapeutic benefits.

One of Jenny’s personal favorites, the wrap bracelets, are a labor of love due to the meticulous attention and time invested in each piece. These bracelets can be wrapped around your wrist once, twice, or even thrice, depending on your desired length. Crafted with leather cord, silk thread, and an array of beads (including wooden, glass, and stone), they feature three button holes to accommodate both men’s and women’s wrists. The variety of button closures adds an intriguing touch to these wrap bracelets. By wearing one, you can effortlessly achieve the popular layered look with just a single piece of jewelry. Additionally, Shimmer and Shine offers jewelry with a faith-inspired theme for those seeking a meaningful adornment.

Every Piece Tells a Story
Jenny’s jewelry creations reflect her artistic design sensibilities. Customers often remark on the delightful uniqueness and attractiveness of her pieces, which are the result of skillful combinations of materials and elements. At Shimmer and Shine, affordability is also a hallmark, making it the perfect destination for finding gifts. Whether you’re searching for bridal party gifts or group presents, look no further. Customization options are available to help you create a truly one-of-a-kind gift for your loved ones.

Newburgh Farmers Market COVID-19 Updates

We’re sharing our COVID-19 customer guidelines with you all today so you’re ready for opening day of the market on July 4.

You may attend a farmers market in another state, or in other counties in Indiana where there are different rules for customers and vendors. These are the rules we must adhere to from guidance from the Indiana State Department of Health and the Warrick County Health Department. Farmers markets in each county in Indiana may have different rules depending on what their county health department requires.

Market Guidelines for Farmers Market Customers:

1. We strongly recommend wearing a mask and following CDC recommended hygiene practices.

2. If you are not feeling well, stay home.

3. This is not a family event. Limit attendance at the market to 1-2 adult members of the family when possible.

4. No pets on the premises at this time.

5. Pre-order products from vendors when possible to speed up transaction times.

6. If cash is used, some vendors may not give coin change.

7. Do not touch products at vendor stands.

8. At home, wash all produce thoroughly before using.

Be patient and kind – we are all in this together.

COVID-19 Market Update

Due to COVID-19, our board of directors has made the decision to postpone opening the farmers market until July 4.

Many will ask, how did we come to this decision? There were two main factors that contributed to the decision:

1. Even though farmers markets are considered essential business, the Newburgh Farmers Market draws a crowd larger than what is allowed under the re-opening stages set out by the governor’s plan to get Indiana back on track.

2. Our #1 priority is the safety of our customers and vendors when they’re at the market. After reviewing and discussing the new rules and recommendations put out by the Indiana State Department of Health and the Warrick County Health Department for farmers market in response to COVID-19, it was determined that we do not have the staff or volunteer capacity to enforce all of the new rules and regulations to keep everyone safe.

We, and all of our vendors, are excited to see everyone in July!

Until then, stay safe and stay healthy!
