Help FOUND! The Personal Touch of Remus Farms in Hobart Indiana

Enjoy this guest post from Leeann Wright.

Remus Farms is the best "farm stand" around! Their selection of locally sourced produce is amazing. Plus, their policy of "if you're not happy, we're not happy" is fantastic - I followed a thread regarding tomatoes for canning. One gentlemen purchased what appeared to be ripe tomatoes, but when he got them home and started chopping, discovered they were not ripe inside. Remus replaced all the tomatoes purchased - that was awesome!

I went there this past weekend to get tomatoes, onions, and peppers for canning tomato sauce and salsa. I have been going there for several years and still continue to be impressed with the variety of the produce - all at really good prices. What I like most is their efforts to source as much as they can locally. I'm thrilled to see produce from down the street, but also from states close by, such as peaches from Michigan. 

"What a treat! 
I could have very well managed by myself, 
but that personal touch from the 
fantastic folks at Remus Farms was so thoughtful and kind. " 



This year, canning tomatoes were high on my list and I had a little one in tow. When I arrived, I put my little one in my baby carrier, grabbed a cart, and started browsing. Now, while I'm still new at motherhood, I'm starting to get fairly adept at doing things "one-handed" and managed to get all of my selections into my cart without a problem (which included a bushel of tomatoes). As I went to checkout, an older lady kindly took my cart for me and started to unload at the cashier. The young lady behind the till called for "carryout assistance" and I was escorted to my car by two gentlemen who kindly loaded my bushel of tomatoes and other items into my trunk. 


What a treat! I could have very well managed by myself, but that personal touch from the fantastic folks at Remus Farms was so thoughtful and kind. I will continue to make it a point to support their business and refer others who want friendly, thoughtful staff and local produce at great prices!

Help WANTED & FOUND: Hormel vs. Tyson Pot Roast

We do not buy much processed food. I'm a big fan of Michael Pollan's book Food Rules and so we strive to eat real food and cook most of it ourselves. Except when we go for fast food naughtiness too often. (Ahem, I digress.) At any rate, one night when my brain was scrambled and dinner was NOT going to happen without some help from my husband John, he went to the grocery store for us. John chose a pot roast from the refrigerated section. A POT ROAST! You know, the food item your Grandma makes on Sunday afternoons because it takes hours to do it right? Well this one took a few minutes in the microwave, and was so delicious we scraped our plates and I was a little angry there was not more of it. I was THRILLED, mortified and stunned about how easy it was. Since the ingriedient label wasn't as long, complicated and gross as one might imagine, I decided we would buy this again sometime as soon as possible. A few days later we were in the grocery store and I was l...

Help Found: Bill's Mobile Auto Detailing in Portage Indiana

Sometimes you meet someone who is doing exactly what they need to be doing in the world. I love it when this happens!  I saw Bill's Mobile Auto Detailing today when I was driving around and I thought he was one of those people.   I haven't actually met Bill.   He might to a horrid job detailing I dunno...but it feels like he is an awesome guy, doing  exactly what the world needs him to do.  Detailing takes attention to (wait for it....DETAIL) and patience. Hiring someone to detail you car for example, that buys you back precious time in a day.  This Bill guy...he takes even better care of folks by being mobile and bringing the business to them.   Bill's Mobile Auto Detailing. I was curious, so I looked Bill up. I know most people do not take the time to review businesses, but of the 18 people who did review Bill's Mobile Auto Detailing, Good ol Bill got FIVE STARS!  Bravo!  What great customer service to have a MOBILE Auto Detail...

Help WANTED: Buck's Shoe Repair, Valparaiso, IN PART TWO

NOTE: This is a review of the OLD BUCK"S Shoe Repair. As of Fall 2011 new owners have taken over and the store looks great and the folks are attentive and personal...I cannot wait to have a reason to go in there again! Help WANTED: Buck's Shoe Repair, Valparaiso, IN PART TWO By Guest Blogger Sharon Angelina (If you missed part one of this hilarious and harrowing tale of terrible service please check out yesterdays' Part One!) (continued from yesterday) I would have interrupted, but never did find a polite pause in their important conversation to do so. I coughed, cleared my throat, insinuated myself in FRONT of Mr. Customer, and plopped my bag of boots on the counter. Finally, in one grand irritated gesture, Mr. Buck gave me a quick scowl, swished a customer repair ticket out of his chest pocket, growled, "Fill this out," and resumed his deep conversation. That was enough. I said "NO, I just want to know if these can be fixed." I reached in...
