My husband and I are MICHIGAN sugarbeet farmers. The Pioneer Sugar is the end product. The company is grower owned. You are supporting hard working farmers along with the Mennonite family. Thank you so much. Our family farm has been around since 1851 and we are lucky enough to have our son willing to continue into the 6th generation of a family legacy.

Learning that people are going into that store because of you, is a real warm fuzzy! Especially when it helps that family so much.

I absolutely loved everything you bought at the antique store. I’m 69 years old and my mother used to tell me I should have been born 100 years earlier 🤣. She never understood my love of “old” stuff.

I am in PA and the county I live in has multiple Mennonite grocery stores. The packaging of their bulk goods is identical to what you bought. Seeing it makes me think it's time for a shopping trip.

Thank you Miss Lori for helping out the store by mentioning them. Mom and Pops need all the help they can get.

After watching this video, my husband and I went to our closest Mennonite bulk store. I picked up the hickory smoked salt for $2.16 for a little over 1/2 lb. I saw a 50 lb. bag of white sugar for $55.95. Now sure how that compares to what you bought. I grew up in a family owned grocery store. My parents opened it in 1948 and my mother closed it in 1979 when she retired. All 5 kids worked bagging potatoes, putting bulk eggs in cartons, weighing dried beans and slicing meat. We sold flour in the pretty cloth sacks and I remember my Mom taking women into the basement to pick out the one they wanted. At Christmas time, we stayed after closing sacking up candy such as ribbon candy, peanut brittle, coconut mounds and hard mix. So many great memories! On a funny note: we had a little old lady who always wanted a dime's worth of salt pork and a nickels worth of pinto beans. And sometimes 1 roll of toilet paper. Love your channel!

Growing up with very little money, shopping was always a special event. My sisters & I loved to show each other the things we bought. I still enjoy seeing & hearing about what other people find interesting to buy. I always learn something useful.

When I was little (75 years ago) families would have their babies first pair of shoes 'preserved' in bronze. They were a very shiny gold color and heavy and used on a desk to hold things. Not sure what your pair were treated with but they are cute! Today, we don't save a long time to buy shoes and just throw or recycle them. We live in the disposable age. I saved my kids baby booties and use them to decorate for Christmas on a little tree, or banner. I know a lady that saved her son' wooden trains, trucks, stuffed teddy bears, and finally made a wonderful Christmas wreath to put them onto. It was the 'star attraction' .

Miss Lori, I have had chronic stomach acid problems for many decades. When I took my Daddy bach to see all his childhood places before he passed, we stopped in Lancaster, PA. It was July 4th weekend and I had a horrible infection on shin that swelled my whole foot and smelled awful. No medical was opened. An Amish man took me home to see his wife as I was in bad shape. She put a bread poultice on this wound, giving me instructions on how to care for it. As we chatted about home remedies and forgotten wisdom, I asked her what she did for chronic dyspepsia. She told me that a piece of sugared ginger settled most problems and could be repeated as needed. Long story, but I use that as needed with great results.

I learned about it years ago while studying herbalism and midwifery. Trouble is that if you eat too much and you don’t have diarrhea you can get seriously constipated.

Lori,you are so kind and have such a big heart. So nice to see flea market finds and hear about the Mennonite store.Here in Southern Cal,we rarely see any old jars and china,etc (most places pretty new) at yard sales and the smaller groceries we have feature fresh Indian, Middle Eastern, Persian, Armenian,Korean, Chinese, Mexican cuisine and more .I love trying new foods and recipes so I support these mom and pops,who provide wonderful selections from all over the world.I do love a lot about the south.It would be nice to go there for a drive on a nice fall day with foliage, flea markets, old mom and pop stores!

The elderly man that operates “The Wagon Barn” sounds just like Mr Irving!

Thank you for sharing this video with us. I love old things and the history behind each one. I have several "precious gems" that were my grandparents which were handed down to me by my parents and I love the sweet memories of each one.

Hi Miss Lori, It's always such a treat to watch your videos! It makes me miss my country childhood and gives me inspiration to finally move out of the city and back to the land, now that I'm retired. I expect that even the country has changed from what I remember over sixty years ago, but seeing nice folks like you gives me hope that a man with a good heart and clear mind can still find peace in the country life. Your flea market oil can find reminded me of all the old sounds that were commonplace when I was young, and have all but disappeared: like the thick percussion sound of that oil can being used, or the solid gears turning inside an old dial phone, the coffee hitting the top of the percolator lid as it cooks, batter in a crock bowl, the sound of a metal chimney flue, cicadas in the summer and that old porch swing, swinging a bit too far backwards and hitting the house. ("Sorry, Mom!") Keep sending your videos out to us Ms. Lori; they are a balm for the Soul.

Hi Miss Lori, your splatter ware brought back memories. I'm in my 70s now, but mom had a set just like them. She used the big one as a dish pan and when canning, the small one would be waiting outside with warm water and a chunk of lye soap to lather up when daddy and his shadow came in from the fields or barn to eat. The matching wash pan, also with warm water, was for rinsing. The hotter the day the cooler the water. There were several other pieces too, a small bowl she put fresh churned butter in The only other one I remember exactly was an oval one she said was my bath tub as a baby. It sounds a little gross now, but I only remember her using it when she picked veggies and canned. All sold at the auction after my dad died. I was 6, but at least we got to keep the farm.

This was a fun video Miss Lori. The crystallized ginger with a cup of tea is a nice substitute for a high calorie dessert. The flax in granola bars makes them a healthy snack. I also add chia seeds to mine.. I recently found a recipe online that had oats, a cup of rice crispness (although you could leave it out it gave the bars a nice crunch) honey, a little brown sugar, a small amount of butter, toasted walnuts almonds and coconut, and dried fruit of any kind. Best granola recipe I ever made. Those baby shoes would look cute with a small plant or fresh flowers. I so enjoy you and PA Brown.

' ... Do I need it? No ... ' But you know it's going to make you happy anyway, so you buy it! The day you had today is my favorite kind of day. Treasure hunting!

We have a produce stand that carries that butter , but if you aren’t there at a certain time it will be gone. I really love it. And I love all the things you found today. It’s not that we need things, it’s that we want them lol . God bless you and Mr. Brown, I am glad you are able to get what you want.

Hi Ms. Lori! Thank you for showing us your treasure haul! I love the candy jars and the pretty plates! The oil can reminds me of one we found in the basement when going through my dear Daddy's things when he passed away. I love all the older things too. Candied ginger tastes so good! I make tea from it sometimes. It's also good for tummy ailments and indigestion. I never knew popcorn could be ground up to make cornbread. Can't wait to see how it turns out. My mama had my brother's baby shoes bronzed. So cute. The enamel pans are really pretty! I love the books you found especially the senior moments one. My friend, at age 68 my senior moments have turned into senior days! Lol This comment has turned into a letter! Sorry it's so long! I'll do better next time. I'm just too wordy.

Well Lori you can call that "paying it forward." That is to bless someone who has shown good deeds and works hard. That was so special that you did that. You really blessed that family. One day it can come back many times over for you! Lori you and Mr. Brown are very special people. May God Bless You. 🙏

Miss Lori, I have eaten the brownie brittle as in most things with added protein, it has a different taste but good. Plus, it was much higher than 59 cents! I'm excited to see all the different types of cornbread videos. I love your Mennonite and antique haul! I hope you both enjoy the rest of your week.🦋

How fun! I shared this video cause I loved you showing us all the good finds you got on your shopping trip. Aren't those bronzed baby shoes? People used to preserve baby shoes that way as a memento of their child's little tiny feet. They don't look like bronzed but they seem as heavy as if they were. Good find, Miss Lori. I'm glad you had such a blessed day, and thank you for blessing ours. (((((((Hugs)))))))

My mother's sister (Aunt Betty) did that to my shoes as well as my brother's. Sadly, we don't have them.😞

Beautiful ‘treasures’; thanks for sharing! I love everything you bought! I’m a grandma nearing 70 & have always been attracted to the older, well made kitchen things! 🤗❤️🇨🇦

That is amazing that you're able to help them by telling others about their store if I had a Mennonite store close to me I would definitely be shopping there

Just found your channel!! What a blessing!!! Not many mom and pop stores around. I love to do a lot of handwork- cross stitch, quilting etc. love simple things!! Perfect videos for me!!!!

Thanks for sharing Miss Lori, you put me in mind of my sweet mom, I lost her in 2012. She would always look for deals like your Brownie Brittle, she would always buy several and then tell me " they were going fast" thats because she was buying them! Thanks for letting me relive that memory.

Yes, I remember those jars. My 88 year old Mom still has some. My husband and I plan to visit a Mennonite store we used to go to quite frequently when it was about an hour and half away. It's moved but is still within reasonable driving distance and I can't wait to go. I have missed it so much. Blessings Lori and Danny. We love you so much. xoxTX

Miss Lori, I'm from SE Michigan farming community. Thank you for supporting Michigan Farmers. The farmers own pioneer sugar. It's a co-op. If a person is allergic to cane sugar. Beat sugar is a good sugar to try. I'm allegeric to cane sugar & I have no issues with beat sugar.

Here in northern Indiana we call those stores "Amish Stores" because that is one way they provide for their families. You can buy Amish hats and bonnets and very intricate clocks and all sorts of unique things in there. Thank you for sharing what you can get from your unique store in Arkansas.

I grew up in Alabama. My grandparents lived in West Central Alabama. There was a group of Mennonites nearby. My grandmother's side of the family, we're in Anabaptist, similar to Mennonites. My grandparents had a small grocery store and my grandmother always loved when they came by. She would also visit them, especially for baked goods. I now live in South Florida and there's a group of Anabaptist here. Their cinnamon buns are to die for. I wasn't going to tell that part of the story until I saw what you bought for your grandchildren. Those marshmallow peanuts will last after the Fourth World War. Haha. They are awful, but I loved them as a kid. I miss my grandparents. 🙏

Well said at the ending Melissa, very well said. Parenting is a serious business needed to be considered completely while bring love, wisdom and fun into the family.

I wish I could visit that Mennonite store! Alas, I live in MN & can't get there right now. Maybe someday. 😄 How lovely that you have been able to help the store owners by mentioning them on your channel. In this day & age, especially with inflation, you're helping to keep their store going! God Bless you, Miss Lori! Have a wonderful day. P.S. It would be cool if the Mennonite store were able to do online orders! But that may not be feasible for them.

Aren't you the cutest Grandma ever!!!...first time watching this channel.....you make me miss living in the south....

By the way you are not stingy! You're sweet and feel the say way that we all feel about our grandchildren, their special. Best of love and blessings for you and your family. You are a good grandmother as you are a mother and wife. The little ones will be telling stories someday about you Ms.Lori and Mr. Brown. Those candy treats will be in one of those stories someday.

Ms Lori you got some really good stuff! Those glass containers especially! I'd say your day trip was well worth it

God Bless You for supporting our Pioneer Sugar made from Sugar Beets. We have a Pioneer Sugar Factory in my hometown in the Thumb of Michigan. My husband farms and no longer grows sugar beets but he does haul beets for our neighbors when he gets his farming finished. Also, we have a Mennonite store 30 miles away that we shop at. Very friendly people and it’s always such a pleasure to go there. Our store also sells Walnut Creek products, I love their buttermilk. I like to get my King Arthur Flour there. They also have their own meat processing so the meat is always fresh. The chicken actually taste like the chickens that we used to grow. Lol. Here I go jawing on and on. God Bless you All!

We have a large Amish community here in NC. They have a couple of stores within 50 miles. I don't drive anymore, so I went with a friend who told me about them. I think their name is Yoder. They only took cash for many things. I had a debit card. I bought everything I could including a loaf of warm bread that we scarfed down on the way home. My friend has since died and the younger friends hardly cook. The baby shoes used to be a thing to have your baby's shoes bronzed. Amish prices were a lot higher than your Mennenites. I grew up with auctions and yard sales. Thanks for the memories. Thee Amish make huge blocks of cheddar cheese that are delish...
