We're excited to be back at market this Friday! Reminder that this is a make-up date for last week, and we plan to continue with our normal schedule next Friday. Which means we get two winter market weeks in a row!
A few notes for 2/26:
- This is naturally the leanest time of year for local produce, but Flying Plow has delicious spinach, lettuce mix, collards, curly kale, turnips, carrots, and other local products available by PREORDER ONLY again this week. Order by midnight TONIGHT!
- Brandywine Bee Co. is visiting this week, so come restock your local honey supply!
- Guest Vendor this week: Treat yourself to Cocky Gourmet Confections, a variety of locally-made brittles!
- Deer Creek will be away this week, returning next.
- We are still welcoming donations for Mighty Writers, but please review the changes in their needs below.
