Hello Market Shoppers!

The weather certainly feels like spring so it seems strange to say that we will have our next Winter Market on March 27th.  This will be the last market before Easter and we will have lots of special goodies.  John and Kira's will bring Easter chocolates, Country Time Farm will bring Easter Hams by pre-order, and Pat's Soaps will have calorie-free Easter soaps.  We'll all have local vegetables and our usual  delicious cheeses and meats!

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.

Helpful Hint:  This newsletter is packed with information.  You can click on a vendor's name on the sidebar to go directly to his or her product list.

Please forward this email to friends and family that you think may be interested in signing up for our email list so that they can participate in our special Winter Markets. (There is a link all the way at the bottom of the email to forward it -- thanks!)
