Hello Market Shoppers!
The 4th Saturday in January is fast approaching and we are looking forward to a great Winter Market on the 23rd! Forks Farm and Wild for Salmon will join us so you can stock up on salmon, beef and lamb! Forks is only bringing pre-ordered items, so please read their information below.
Don't forget to read this email to see what is available, make your list, contact the farmers to place your orders, and then come to our regular location between 10 am and 11 am on Saturday to pick up your delicious, local food. You might even see your neighbors and market friends.

Looking Ahead
Our first Winter Market in February will be on the day before Valentine's Day and we will have sweets! John and Kira's will bring their scrumptious chocolates and Marci's Morsels will be back with delicious cookies.
John and Kira's also asked us to post the following job opportunity
John and Kira's loved bringing their delicious chocolates to the Phoenixville Farmers' Market last season, but sometimes staffing issues made it impossible for them to attend. For the 2010 main season, they would like to hire someone who lives near Phoenixville to run their stand. If you are a fan of John and Kira's and have an interest in working for them, please email John at john@johnandkiras.com. You will spend a few days with them learning about how they make their chocolate, and then John will help you work their stand for a few market days to get you started. On another note, John and Kira's are working on some sustainable packaging and special farmers' market chocolates.
