Come Visit Chickasha













Let me see if I can lure you to Chickasha for a visit.  We have our Farmer's Market every Tuesday and Saturday mornings from 7:00 to Noon.  Come early because the early bird really does get the goods down here.  Mrs. Foster from Windmill Corner Farms sells farm fresh eggs as well as baked goods, jellies and relishes.  I get the sweetest onions and great okra, peas from a man who gardens around Lindsay.  The couple from Windy Hill Farms in Rush Springs has wonderful vegetables also as well as the best pickled yellow squash I've ever tasted.  It is wonderful with brown beans really wonderful with just about anything you would eat pickles with.  She also has wonderful salsa and other canned goods. There is a farmer that comes from Rush Springs every Saturday with the best watermelon and cantaloupes you've ever tasted.   Mr. Herman Stephens sells about the best local honey I've tasted.  His phone number is 224-4529.  He said, "to give him a call and he can have your order ready to go."  The Farmer's Market is located in the parking lot of the YMCA.  It's not hard to find.  I'm terrible at directions so just stop at any gas station in the area and they can tell you how to get there.

After your stop at the Farmer's Market, you have to go to Ross Feed and Seed.  It's the great hardware store in town and it's just several blocks from the Farmer's market.  Again, ask someone at the market and they can point you in the right direction. It's really not far.  The first 3 or 4 pictures are from Ross hardware.  They have a home décor section and I just love it.  They have wonderful kitchen towels.  The old flour sack kind that get soft and soak up the water when drying dishes.  They're great and they have wonderful colors and patterns.  Plus, you will enjoy just walking through the hardware part of the store and in the back they sell seeds.  I love it! 

There are several new antique malls on main street.  Just one block to the south of Ross.  Lots of creative people in this area....you'll find something you love.

Last but certainly not least, you can't leave Chickasha without eating at J.W. Grill again just a block away. The last picture says it all.....slaw dogs and not pictured but get chili cheese fries and a big root beer.  OMG you will need a nap before you drive home. 

Come for a visit to this small farming community.  The people are friendly and you'll leave feeling good!
