Proud sponsor of Deep Water Grappling and Striking House "Anyone can be a champion." 🏆 program. Because of their donation 5 kids were able to get world class training from world champion Pat Downey who normally wouldn't have been able to over the weekend. To provide opportunities & an outlet for young grapplers is why we do this! Thank you RR Homestead for your generosity, it's so appreciated!
Please show some support & follow their page, check out their store. All locally sourced goods! They're truly one of kind.

Hello Friends! Happy Monday :)

Many have asked for our Azure Standard price list and I got around to getting it put together for you. You will see the price we are selling each item for, and the cost that you would be paying online through them, with shipping costs included so you can have a better idea of the cost difference.

I contacted them today to see if I can get a second order for this month, and I wasn't able to since they only service Michigan once a month. Thank being said, the cutoff for the next order is Feb 18th with pickup being the week of Feb 23rd, so if you would like to place an order ahead of time, please contact me via messenger or text 612-404-6472

The items on the images are what we are carrying in the store (although we sold out of a lot of things the first weekend :) - now I know what to order more of!), so if you'd like to know the cost of another item before placing an order, reach out!

We put a post out for eggs over the weekend, we should hopefully have eggs stocked by the end of the day! As a reminder, even on our off hours we are happy to open our doors if we are home. I am staying as close to home as possible now that we are on baby watch so give me a shout if you're needing to stop by!

We are mostly sold out of Sourdough bread until Friday morning. Here is what we have on the shelf:
- 1 pack of Sourdough Cheddar Bagels
- 1 Chocolate Sourdough
- 1 Sourdough Hotdog Bun pack
- 1 Greek Mediterranean Focaccia

**We also have an order form in the store so that you can order directly from Rustic Rise. You can coordinate pickup with her or pickup in-store beginning on Fridays.

In the freezer, at 50% off we have:
- 1 Farmhouse Sandwich loaf
- 2 packs of 6 Sourdough Bread Bowls

LASTLY... WE ARE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE BELOVED Make My Meals WILL BE OFFERED AT THE SPOT! YOU'VE GOT THAT RIGHT!

If you aren't following them, go give her a follow so you can see her announcement in preparation for Super Bowl Sunday and all the yummy things to come!

That's all for now, friends! Have a wonderful day!

WOW!! I cannot thank you all enough for such an incredible weekend! Friday was by far our busiest day yet! Our parking lot was full for most of the day, even with the terrible weather!!!

About 90% of you were new faces and I enjoyed meeting each and every one of you. 🫶🏼

Many have asked so I will say it here, YES our puppies are for sale and ready for new families/farms to love and protect!! Great Pyrenees make excellent guardian dogs and make wonderful family dogs. If you have one of our puppies from throughout the years, whether on farm or in your home, PLEASE leave a comment and photos!!

On another note, we hope our message last week was appropriately received and that we will be left alone to conduct business as we have set out to do. However, we anticipate a slight "rock of the boat" as we work on revealing a really cool opportunity for a beloved community member and our store! 🤞🏼 If she agrees to participate at The Spot, we will have a very happy announcement coming!

IT'S BABY MONTH! Little Rauser #5 is sure to arrive any day so keep a lookout for any last minute store hour changes if I go into labor on a day we are suppose to be open! Save my number so you can call/text ahead of time if there's something you need.

Monday is our Daughter Brooklyn's 6th birthday! If you see her around town or wrestling at Deep Water Grappling and Striking House be sure to give her a high five!

Lastly, I am contacting Azure Standard on Monday to try and get another shipment this month because you all came out and almost cleared the shelves in the first day! I will be posting an update on Monday once I find out and also to give more info on our goals to help you get their products into your home at a lower cost than what's available to you online!

Have a great Sunday friends!
See you Monday!

Good Morning, Friends!!
We have our very first AZURE Standard order stocked!
I have attached a photo of the inventory that came in, so you know what we have available. We have already sold out of all the 10lb bags of Organic Bread Flour, so I will be sure to add more to next month's order and larger bagged options!

So many have already stopped out this morning, lots of new faces and many that have made The Spot a routine stop on Fridays. My heart is full seeing all of your smiling faces to start out the weekend.

We have cool new items in the fridge! Nancy's Organic Cream Cheese, Cottage Cheese, and Yogurt! We also have Cheese Sticks by the 24pk and single serving!

Elderberry Syrup is going fast so be sure to grab one!
Lot's of cookies are in stock as well as fresh baked, delicious breads!

Thank you for all of your continued support!

Dear friends and supporters of The Spot at RR Homestead.

Did you know that when you shop at our store you get to support not just our family, but more than 18 families all at once? These families have children that are part of our Farmschool, mothers who are part of our fellowship group, teachers, pastors, doulas, and even kids starting their own businesses!

Well, yesterday we were made aware that another local business is aiming to have us shut down. This didn't come to much of a shock to us after an anonymous post was made over the weekend attacking our farm. We didn't realize the extent of their efforts until a state vehicle approached our store, revealing complaints that were proved to be largely untrue, further proving what we did already know... The complaints came from a source that has never visited our farm, our store, and has never done business with me (as they claimed) based off of the misinformation they were giving both privately and publicly (although anonymously).

To say that I have felt disheartened is an understatement. What I hope they realize is that behind almost EVERY business, is a family. At The Spot, there are over 18 families being supported through what we have built. To attack and try to dismantle what we've been dreaming of for years, also sets an attack on those that we support and give space to. And for what? What personal or even financial gain could one have by attempting to tear apart a local family business that has so greatly impacted the community they claim to be a part of?

To the person who filed the complaint against us, I want to publicly acknowledge that your complaints have been heard and your motives to shut us down are clear. We want our vision for The Spot to be clear to you: We will continue to offer a place for locals to come find handmade, healthy, high quality goods and we will never stop pouring our hearts into this community.

On a personal note, if you have ever shopped at our store, you know that there's one single person you're dealing with. Whether you call, text, or arrive in person... You get me! If you haven't had the chance to visit, my name is Jessica. I'm a mother of soon to be 5 children, and my mission is to provide a place where not only my family can find locally sourced goods and affordable options, but to also open OUR HOME to the community members who are looking for the same things.

Our store is at our home. The place where our children play, where many children of the community come to learn during Farmschool, a place to gather for fun events, and a place that opens doors for other local families to share their businesses and provide food for their families. Please allow us all to have this safe place, and stop seeing us as a competition. We can all coexist and thrive together.

This brings me to the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT I promised yesterday but unfortunately wasn't in the right headspace to get to after all these things were uncovered... The Spot has partnered with AZURE STANDARD as a wholesale distributor!! What that means is that every month we will have a shipment brought in of organic, healthy, and affordable options that were selected by me personally, with you all in mind. Purchased at wholesale pricing gives us the flexibility to offer goods at a much lower price than what you'd otherwise pay more for. Hear my heart on this, the health of the community that we are a part of matters to me! And having healthy options at a price that is affordable, matters to me!

So come and shop the wide variety of options this weekend! We will be stocking our shelves with our first Azure Standard order on Wednesday, and will be taking preorders for next month starting this weekend!
MORE DETAILS TO COME!!!

Our hours:
Friday 8am - 6pm
Saturday 8am - 12pm
Monday 8am - 6pm

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for showing up; even on the snowiest, coldest, and muddiest days! When you shop at our store, know that you are supporting SO MANY families who are just as grateful as we are.

⚡️ This community blew it out of the water yesterday! We sold out of all our bagels 🥯 and sandwich breads, and to no surprise - most of the famous cookies you all love so much! 🍪

This week we STOCKED our freezer with more of our delicious and nutritious, Pasture-Raised, Non-GMO, Corn & Soy Free KuneKune Pork! 🥩 We also stocked the freezers with our farm raised lamb!

Because so many have asked about adding LARGE bags of our Freeze Dried Dog treats, 🐶 we are happy to announce that we have tripled the size of our bags and they are ready to purchase!

🤫 We will have a BIG announcement on Monday regarding a massive opportunity for our store, so stay tuned for that!

Many have asked about when baby Rauser #5 👶🏻 is due, and what will happen once they arrive. The answer: ANY TIME NOW! We are officially due 🤰🏻 on the 17th of February which is just around the corner, but as babies come when they are ready, it could be tomorrow or 5 weeks from now. If you don't see me in the store, you'll surely be able to guess why 🙂

My husband Josh, our daughter Sunday, and my sister Krystal will be taking my place in the event I am in labor and for the first few days of recovery. You'll be in great hands!

We are open today until noon, and then headed off the support our 🏀 HYAA basketball teams!

As a reminder, if you are in the area and need to stop at the store on our off hours, don't hesitate to give me a call or text to see if we are home. I'm always happy to open the store for you all!
Save our number!

Thank you all so much for your endless support!

01/04/2025

Good morning Friends!!
Don't forget to come out to The Spot today before noon! We have some of your favorite items stocked and a few new ones in!

· Cranberry Orange Muffins
· Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
· Date Power Bars covered in Chocolate
And I hear Big Maple Homestead will have more of those delicious cookies in today!

* If you have had some of her cookies, please drop a comment and tell her how incredible they are!

We also have Sourdough Artisan bread by Emma Miller, Whole Wheat sandwich bread (our family's favorite), and only one more set of Dinner Rolls and Hamburger Buns!! If that changes I will update this post!

We have more food items to boast but I don't ruin the surprise, just come in and see for yourself!

Yesterday I watched Jocelyn Leep from Plant Life water all the gorgeous plants we have in the store. I hear time and time again the fears about not keeping plants alive and let me tell you, YOU CAN DO IT! With only once a week watering (some 2 weeks), these babies are low maintenance!

If you have an ongoing or new sickness running through your home, come pick up some Organic Elderberry syrup, or make a fun project for your kiddos and grab a DIY kit! Stop that sickness in it's tracks!

Fresh Sporety Mushrooms are also on the menu this week. They were newly stocked yesterday and looking glorious. Of course I had to sear some up for a snack last night 🤤

We also have a lovely collection of jewelry and keepsakes made by our local makers. Come check them out and show them some love 🥰
