EDIT: Neither did we desire to make people feel bad about asking!
We have hesitated to put this out here, not wanting to look like we are seeking accolades, but we have received more questions, especially with the donuts available at 8:00 AM most Saturday mornings across the road, and also the assumption that we open at 8:00 AM. We want to explain why the store isn't open before 9:00 AM.
Old Barn Bulk Foods resides on a working dairy farm. Our day begins at 4:00 AM to do chores and milking. On top of that, we are responsible for caring for one of our elderly parents each morning, getting them up and ready for the day. We need time to get our own breakfast and take a quick breath before jumping in to open the store.
We hope this helps provide some clarity, and we thank you for your understanding!
