Many of you have probably visited one of our families favorite produce places in our community.
’s Produce

But I am not sure many of you know they were recently featured in Our State magazine in the June addition!

Hope you enjoy reading the story and reading about the people who make our beautiful community so special.

Remember to swing by and get some amazing produce and make sure to pickup some things for dinner !!
Some of our favorites - MawMaw Chicken pies/country sausage/pimento cheese/Key Lime pies/slushies and of course their boiled peanuts!!

Near Holden Beach, North Carolina, Ludlum’s Produce turns humble peanuts into a Southern delicacy — each pot seasoned with salt, patience, and memory.

It is hard to believe August is just around the corner and schools will be opening their doors in a few weeks.

Summer vacations are winding down and soon fall will be dropping in to say “hello” and give us some relief from these 100 degree days.

BUT smile…..you can still have vacations in the “off season” at the beach!!!
There is a well kept secret among beach lovers and that is the joy of “off season” beach visits.
It simple words… “off season” is paradise at the beach.

Hope you enjoy reading this blog from a dear friend who explains why coming to the beach in off season is among the greatest gifts in the world!!!

Thank you Eric for explaining it so eloquently and beautifully!!!!

Fewer crowds, comfortable weather, and quiet mornings on the porch. Here's why off-season might be the best time for your Brunswick County trip.

A dream come true.!!!
Meal prep on vacation made easy!!!

If you are like my family planning meals on vacation is a real pain!!
I have found a wonderful secret !!

@3 Stranda Services and Stephanie has been amazing to provide us with a variety of wonderful and delicious custom, catered meals.

Everything has been absolutely delicious and all the orders we have received have been carefully prepared with directions, a Thank You card and a jar of her delicious homemade BBQ sauce.

You cannot go wrong selecting one of her entrees for breakfast or dinner!

The most wonderful thing is all you have to do is bake or grill the entrees, serve your family and you miss all the grocery shopping, crowds and the “I don’t care what we eat!” responses from your family.

She truly makes being on vacation a dream and helps take the anxiety out of meal preparation!!!

Our family and friend’s favorites entrees are below!!
Pulled BBQ with her BBQ sauce
Stuffed French toast Breakfast casserole
Baked Ziti
Lemon Herb Chicken
Sausage Casserole!

Oh and by the way - she will do your grocery shopping and deliver it toooooo!!!
