Started in 2009, the Casey County Produce Auction is the place to buy––or sell––local produce and agricultural products, often the same morning that it was picked. You never know what you will find on any given day in any season but there are always those seasonal crops on which you can rely. If you resell produce or need it for your restaurant, or even if you just want to "put up" an abundance of food at home, the auction will provide you the place to buy affordable fresh produce at the source and often at wholesale prices. All area growers and buyers are welcome.

Sunny Valley is the place to stock up on bulk foods and other offerings––such as unusual candies and tasty jams and jellies––for your home pantry or kitchen cupboard. Here you will also find a huge selection of dried culinary and medicinal herbs as well as homemade, freshly-baked daily offerings from an onsite bakery. A deli, with a good, affordable selection of meats and cheeses, is also a great place to grab a sandwich to go. You will also find many locally made products such as aprons and brooms, soaps and sorghum molasses––even soft serve ice cream, year round. In recent years (and formerly known as Nolt's Bulk Foods Store) Sunny Valley has become the go-to place for Casey County visitors, residents and Mennonite families alike.
