Hello Market Shoppers!

August is here and the market will be overflowing with produce tomorrow and other goodies tomorrow!  Perennial favorite Joe Willson will entertain us with his incredible fingerstyle guitar playing.  Be sure to stop and listen.

Cucina Verde is back from vacation with some new items.  Birchrun Hills Farm will NOT be at the market tomorrow and for good reason- Sue Miller is at the annual meeting of the American Cheese Society.  Be sure to ask her about it next week when she returns.
