Saucy Sows Meats & Sweets, a meat shop, deli and specialty store outside of DeGraff at 13 State Route 235, now invites customers to enjoy lunch or a snack or donuts on their newly-installed patio. According to owner Denise Scherer, pictured standing beside a table of customers, she and her husband, Scott Scherer, originally planned to build an enclosed vegetable stand next to their store. “But,” Denise said, “we’ve had so many people ask us to put tables and chairs out here so they could have lunch. I think it’s a perfect fit because there’s nothing else out this way.” The four-year-old business will expand again in Spring 2025, when they’ll add a food truck serving lunch and dinner three days a week — Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Denise stated they already have the truck and plan to put the menu together soon. To celebrate the new patio, Saucy Sows set up a Der Dutchman truck outside on Thursday, Oct. 31, where people could purchase fresh donuts and hot coffee. (EXAMINER PHOTO | HOLLIE S. HUBBARD)
