Super excited!

I have Organic Immune Refresher back on tap along with a NEW flavor for the ranch FLOWER POWER - Lavendar floral taste that is fantastic!

A friend of mine diligently makes this amazing Kombucha so that is why we have it for sale - Its Pure & Natural!!

If you’re coming to the Farmer’s meeting tonight, grab a little sample cup and try some!

I also have elderberry grape as always in stock. Purchase half gallon or gallon.

I also deliver to Paola on Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays. You can pick it up at the museum between 10 and 4 Must Place your Order as I don’t just keep it in stock in there. Simce I work in there, it makes a convenient pick up spot.

What an amazing response to this need!! Because of the generous outpouring of support, the needs of clothing have been met! The family is now accepting any household toiletries and personal hygiene products.

Thank you so much!

Original Post:

On January 25, 2026, Ben and Hannah Aude lost their home in a fire. Fortunately, everyone is safe, and their three children were not home at the time of the fire. While no one was injured, the family lost nearly all of their personal belongings and is in need of support as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.

Hannah is a dedicated member of the Osawatomie Fire Department—the very department that responded to and worked the fire at their home. She also serves on several boards that support and strengthen our communities, continually giving her time and energy to help others.

The Aude family truly embodies the definition of selflessness. Now it’s our turn to help them, just as they have helped so many in our community.

There are several ways to assist, including monetary donations through the Sheriff’s Fund. Donations can be made by scanning the QR code to donate digitally or by visiting any First Option Bank location.

The family is also in need of clothing and essential items. Sizes needed are listed below:

Children

Boys:
• 4T shirts and pants
• 5T shirts
• Size 9 shoes
• Size 6 diapers

Girl:
• Size 12/14 pants
• Youth large or adult small shirts
• Adult XS underwear
• Size 3–4 shoes

Adults

Ben:
• 42x32 pants
• 2X shirts
• Size 13 shoes

Hannah:
• 2X–3X shirts and sweatpants
• Size 22 pants
• Size 8.5 shoes

Clothing can be dropped off at the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, 209 S. Pearl Street, Paola, KS 66071

Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and continued support of the Aude family during this time.
