The new owners have set up a bazaar area featuring home items which have been refurbished by co-owner
Debbie Hall.
In addition to produce, the new
owners have been working to make
the market a “one stop shop” —
adding other food items to work
with the fresh fruits and vegetables.
“If customers are wanting to make
something with our products, we
want to make it as easy as possible
for them to have everything they
need right here,” Sinkhorn said. “If
we can make it more convenient,
that’s one of the things we want to
try and do.”
Other plans include expanding
into paper products (trays, napkins,
etc.), aprons and t-shirts with the
company’s logo, as well as home
decor items in line with Hall’s ex-
pertise. The ladies are also adding
a commercial kitchen and a mobile
fruit stand which can operate at
local events.
“We want to meet and greet and
be out in the community,” Hall said
of the mobile unit. “That way, if they
haven’t ever been here, they can see
what we have to offer.”
Anger explained that the kitch-
en has been certified by the local
health department so that From the
Vine can start producing fruit and
vegetable trays as well as home-
made dips. “Down the road, we
could do a juice bar,” she said.
In terms of ministry, Hall has tak-
en to posting a devotional most Sun-
days through the market’s Facebook
page — whose followers grew from

From the Vine offers deeply discounted produce to make healthier eat-
ing a viable option for local families.

encourage,” Anger said. “…We want
it to be a very feel-good destina-
tion.”
