... Ruth Krause from Krause Farms makes this candy using
special molds that are getting more and more difficult to find. This is
wonderful homemade maple candy that every child should taste and

We strive to keep this list as accurate as possible. We probably  missed an item or two that is at the market or listed an item as available when it is not. Chances are not all items mentioned or listed below will be at each market. 

Due to inclement weather, product availability, and other factors, some vendors listed below may need to cancel participation in this week's market.

 As we mentioned at the top of the newsletter, rhubarb and asparagus will be showing up at the market this week. No word yet on morels, though they shouldn't be far behind.
