Hello Market Shoppers!

It may be a little chilly for tomorrow's market, but our farmers will be packed in under the bridge in a cozy circle hoping to see you! 

Easter is around the corner and we are pleased to say that eggs will be in abundance!  At this week's market you'll also find other signs of spring- Easter hams, spring herb plants, hoophouse grown greens and hotdogs for the grill.  We'll have a complete selection of foods from our food producers.

We are sending this newsletter out a little bit later than usual, because a few of our farmers asked if we could add a market next week just before Easter.  I'm happy to say that we have enough farmers to hold the market!  Be sure to look for our newsletter next week to see who is coming!!  You can also ask the farmers at their stands tomorrow.

We don't have any food trucks tomorrow, but Artisans will be serving hot drinks to keep you warm and there will be lots of other pastries and goodies to eat in hand!


If you haven't come to one of our Winter Markets, please visit us!  We all set up in the upper portion under the bridge and make a cozy circle of incredibly delicious food.  Chances are that you will have a chance to chat with a neighbor or old friend, and you might even make some new acquaintances! 
      

See you at the Market!!
