  • Motherhouse Market

    Motherhouse Market promotes earth-friendly life-styles by providing homesteading helps and local products. Look for us during the summer months at the West Cornwall Farmers Market where we offer fresh bread from Bantam Bakery, cheese from Sprout Creek Farm, Cloverdale cleaning supplies, and hand-crafted items made by area residents. Many of our goods are available at our workshops or pick-up can be arranged through our market mother Rhonda Jaacks.
