SALADO, Texas (KWTX) - A new farmstead store in Salado is offering locally sourced food products and is connecting shoppers directly with the vendors who produce them.

Halverson's Hidden Harvest, a farm based in Temple, opened the retail location eight weeks ago after husband and wife James and Amy Halvorson were presented with the opportunity and decided to move forward."This is what Salado would need, that they would have fresh, local produce and food and they would be able to know who created that food," Amy Halvorson said.

"So, we decided that yes, this would be the right decision and jumped in with both feet."Store sees strong early salesThe store carries fresh-milled flour, milk, beef and sourdough, among other items.
