Strawberry Shortcake Day is Back! | |
The Market will host their annual Strawberry Shortcake Day on Saturday, April, 28, 9:30- 11 a.m. - or while supplies last!
The Market will be selling homemade strawberry shortcakes, made with classic shortcakes made by Market bakers and smothered with locally grown berries grown by Market farmers; then topped with plenty of local whipped cream.
Our farmers are harvesting Strawberries earlier this year because of the mild winter. Come to the Market for a delicious, sweet seasonal treat, then shop the Market for your take-home berries and local goods. |
