Have you been to the library lately? Check out the latest finished mural in the children's section of the Malvern Library. You can now see the finished outdoor murals on the walls at Malvern Pizza and Gallagher's back wall. The Mural Club is working on getting a light for the Gallagher's wall so the commuters can see the "Welcome to Malvern" mural as they leave and arrive in the early morning and late evening darkness.

Next is the Bridge Street project. The Great Valley High School National Honor Art Society students and Mural Club are working on the design. Thanks to everyone in the community who shared their ideas for the theme "Malvern Today."

We are back! Malvern Winter Farmers Market dates will be February 1st and 15th, March 1st and 15th, April 5th and 19th. Come for the market, stay for the shopping. Explore Malvern's storefronts and eateries before or after you shop at the farmers market. Buy LOCAL.

Highlighting some of the attendees:

Down to Earth Farm will be bringing spinach and mushrooms. Buy some and cook along with their blog this week. Best of all it is nutritionally packed with goodness and low in calories.

Kimberton CSA survived the Arctic Vortex. From their hoop house they will be bringing carrots, onions, kohlrabi, turnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, garlic, Swiss chard, collards, kale, and spinach. Celebrate LOCAL PRODUCE!
