NAPPANEE — Daily Bread Market in Nappanee is hosting a special event this Saturday, Oct. 19.

Fall Fest will be from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will offer face painting, hay rides, meadow maze, barrel trains, bounce house, apple sling shot, pumpkin bowling, apple butter demonstrations, kettle corn, food trucks, cider floats and slushies.

The owners are Lamar Chupp and his wife, Kristine. The store opened in December 2023.

“We want to celebrate the harvest of the community,” said Lamar.

The apple butter will be made in a copper kettle, a family heirloom.

“It’s about making memories as a family,” said Lamar of Fall Fest.

Like most grocery stores, Daily Bread market has a deli, bakery, produce section, meat department and a cafe. It also carries items in bulk, such as flour.

“We do a lot of local produce,” Lamar said. “It is high quality, organic and pesticide free. Being local is a big thing we do here. The milk is local, too.”

It also offers homemade seasonings, candles, cereal and granola.

The bakery features homemade pies, bread and cookies. The fresh meat market includes locally-raised beef and chicken in bulk.

“We have good competitive prices,” said Lamar.

Some of the activities Saturday will be available for a nominal fee. A photographer will take fall family photos for $20. The apple sling shot requires apples to be purchased and face painting does have a small fee.

“If you don’t purchase tickets, there is still some fun, family-friendly things to do,” said Lamar.

A cafe offers outdoor and indoor seating. The cafe offers coffee, sandwiches, smoothies, ice cream and milkshakes. It serves breakfast and lunch items.

“When you are with friends and family, it (eating) brings people together. Being a part of that is special,” said Lamar.

Regular business hours are 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
