Earth Day Market! 
Saturday
April 23, 2016
9am to 1pm
Hello Market Shoppers!


We have a great market tomorrow and will welcome a new producer, Weckerly's Spruce Hill Creamery, who makes micro-batches of delicious ice cream and ice cream sandwiches.  They will be at market on selected Saturdays throughout the season and we will post the dates on our website as we get them.

It's Earth Day which means it's planting time! How does your garden grow?  Want to know when to start your seeds, plant spacing, water requirements, fertilizer requirements and more?Bring your practical questions on vegetable and herb starting!

At 9:00 on the main stage, Dan Heckler from JACK'S FARM, will guide you through a simple vegetable seeding demonstration.
He'll answer any practical questions you have about starting your seeds and growing your vegetables and herb transplants.

Dan has over fifteen years experience growing vegetables and herbs.

After the presentation The Barn Swallows will play on stage.  Be sure to grab a seat and listen.

The market will be overflowing with great food and also hand crafted items made by local artists.  Be sure to walk the trail to take a look. 

It's still early in the growing season, so you won't find heat loving vegetables and fruits YET... but they will come later in the season! In the meantime, enjoy those springs greens while you can.

See you at the Market!
THIS WEEK'S PROVIDERS:

Artisan's Gallery & Cafe
Our cold brewing method is unique since it uses time - rather than heat - to extract flavor from the beans. The coffee is slow-steeped at room temperature to extract the delicious, naturally sweet flavor from the beans.
