Local gladiolas in the most amazing colors!
The Barriball family has been in the Gladiolas business for over 50 years so Scott certainly knows this industry!
Many years ago he met a grower who's an expert in cross breeding and who has an unbelievable variety of colors that no one else grows. This grower's patience and persistence over the years has given him some amazing results and we are the exclusive carriers of the fruits of his labor.
Come get them this weekend on the south side of the Market by the big chicken, or on the north side by our kettle corn operation. You'll be glad you did!
Market Flowers is open Thursday and Friday 9am - 3pm, Saturday and Sunday 7am - 1pm
Here's a link to the list of bulk flowers you can count on getting from us: MF Bulk Flowers List
But remember, that's not ALL we carry. You need to come see for yourself what special items we find for each week.
Know a bride or someone else needing flowers for an event?

| Vendor Spotlight | 
Saleh Hamshari uses only the freshest, most delicious jalapeno peppers and other ingredients in his Mean Green Hot Sauce. It's wonderful on burgers, chicken, eggs, fish, tacos, chili, and just about anything you eat that could use a bit of a kick. How hot is it? He says it's Minnesota or Norwegian hot ~ so that's pretty good for most of us, but lately he has been bringing in a new, hotter, red sauce version for those who want the heat. Nice.  Mid summer or early fall is the perfect time to replace those sunglasses you got last spring! A few months of tossing them in the bottom of your beach bag or on the seat of your car and they just don't look the same. Lucky for you we've got a nice selection of sunglasses from NYS Collection Eyewear in a couple of locations at our Market. Looking good!  Katrina with Red Persimmon Imports is a social entrepreneur following such principals as fair trade, transparency, honesty, and integrity. She is committed to selling high quality products, giving exceptional customer service, and giving back to the community. Her booth is a must see and you'll be delighted by the beautiful silk purses, birds, stuffed toys and more made by disadvantaged women working to change their future. It's a feel good shopping experience. And we can all use that! |
