Market Update

Hello!
I haven't done a very good job of updating this blog! We've had some exciting developments at the market this season. First, thanks to our small size, we've been able to place the farmers in the park instead of on Lexington Ave. This has freed up a lot of parking and made the market much more visible to passersby. We think sales are going up. Also, today, we had three farmers, including one who grows uncertified organic. We think Gordon Tripp from Owens Orchards will be at the market next week, which means that apple season will be following soon!

Here is a sample of what we had today at the market:
Corn
Collard greens
Garlic
Green Beans
Cabbage
Swiss chard
All kinds of squash
Peaches
Cauliflower
Turnips
Lots more stuff that I can't remember! : )

Be sure to stop by and see us, Wednesdays from 2:00-7:00 (sometimes closing around 6:30 if the weather is bad or if the market is super slow)! See you then!

Also...Coming soon...August 12th...Zucchini Festival and the All Star Band
