Delivery Day

Yesterday, Mason and I made deliveries to two of our Central Indiana wholesale customers. 

 

We started out bright and cheerful. Mason was a little puzzled by the boxes stacked next to his car seat, but gummy bears and doughnuts quickly bought his silence. 

 

When we left home, it was a balmy 33 degrees. By the time we reached our first delivery in Bloomington, Indiana, it was 27 degrees and SNOWING. Mason had fun watching the snow out the window. It started snowing so hard I was beginning to wonder if I was going to make it home in one piece. 

 

Our first delivery was at Bloomingfoods Deli and Grocery(http://www.bloomingfoods.coop).  Bloomingfoods is located on Third Street in Bloomington, Indiana. They have a wonderful selection of organic produce, cheese, and an excellent craft beer and wine selection. Their deli is stocked with all kinds of yummy salad and they make delicious sandwiches. Mason went shopping and picked out red grapes, watermelon, and hummus. He also snaggled me into purchasing some chocolate at the checkout counter…..he didn’t have to twist my arm too hard. 

 

Mason and I had a picnic lunch in the greenhouse at the store. It smells like flowers and it is always very warm – much appreciated on a cold day! We sat and watched the snow while we ate lunch. We also had a nice visit with our friend Jessica, who is the Native American demonstrator at the Maple Syrup Festival.

 

Thankfully, the snow melted quickly as we headed north towards Indianapolis. Mason was thoroughly entertained by watching Paw Patrol on my iPhone. He hit his second pack of gummy bears about 20 miles south of Indy, and quickly fell asleep.  

 

Our next stop was Green BEAN in Indianapolis (www.greenbeandelivery.com). Green BEAN is a grocery and organic produce delivery service. They have locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Missouri.  Mason slept through this delivery so we were quickly back on the road headed home. 

 

We stopped at Camping World on our way home, located off of Exit 99 on I-65. Mason and I looked at a few campers and I was considering selling a kidney. We looked at the 2015 model of our current camper and I’m in love. 

 

We have several additional wholesale distributors in the Indianapolis area. We also supply Progue’s Run Grocery Store(www.poguesrungrocer.org) on 10^th Street, Good Earth Natural Foods (www.good-earth.com) on Guilford Ave and A Taste of Indiana (www.atasteofindiana.com)on Rucker Road.

 

We made a quick stop at the farm on the way home to box up an order and pick up syrup for a few local orders this week. We were both glad to be home after a long day in the car. The gummy bears and doughnuts finally caught up to Mason and he had a sugar induced playfest. He ended up taking off all of the couch cushions and building a bridge. The joys of a toddler...
