It had been up for sale since June, but I'd hoped for a happier ending:
We are writing to let you know that we closed Ludgate's Farm & Market at the end of business today (Sunday, Nov 27). We will reopen our doors this Tuesday to conduct a final inventory liquidation. The liquidation sale will run from Nov 29th through Dec 15th. All sales will be final; no further discounts will be applied or coupons or gift certificates accepted. Store hours during this period will be: Noon - 7pm.
A large part of me would really like to jump in and run this business, but between no capital and no experience, I pretty clearly can't.
Update: Here's the Ithaca Journal on the story.
