Farm King is a family-owned chain of 6 stores in Illinois and Iowa with a wide selection of goods in categories such as Housewares, Lawn & Garden, Toys, Clothing, Automotive, Home Decor, Pet, and much more! We have been in business since 1959.
How long have you been carrying Gooseberry Patch cookbooks & calendars?
Farm King has stocked Gooseberry Patch cookbooks since 2007. We are serious at Farm King about Gooseberry Patch! Each store has multiple displays of your cookbooks, stocked with both old favorites and fresh new titles. We also run special promotions for Christmas and other holidays.
At Ladies' Night events, we have drawings for free Gooseberry Patch books among many other prizes, as well as demonstrations and special promotions.
Which titles are your customers' favorites lately?
Slow-cooker books are always among our customers' favorites, and Rush Hour Recipes and Fresh From the Farmstand have been among the favorites this year.
Any special events coming soon?
Yes! Our Ladies' Night event is October 4th, from 5pm to 8pm, at the Farm King stores in Canton, Illinois, Galesburg, Illinois and West Burlington, Iowa.
There will be drawings at
each store for over $1000 in prizes, including several Gooseberry
Patch cookbooks, Montanna Silversmith jewelry, Wrangler clothing,
trees, Glidden paint, Donna Sharp bags and quilts, birdfeeders, Farm
King gift certificates and lots more! Shoppers will enjoy
cake-decorating demos, a talk on planting spring bulbs, and several
other attractions that will occur throughout the evening.
There will also be great deals on home
decor, clothing, jewelry, kitchen products, and much more. Plus, with
the $2 purchase of a Carhart bag, they’ll get 20% off the products
in the bag. Farm King will donate $2 for every bag that is sold to a
local cancer society. Be sure to stop by!
