We return to our normal bi-weekly market schedule this week, with just 5 more markets in the "winter" season. It won't be long now until we are enjoying the warm sunshine and an abundance of local spring produce on a weekly basis!
Your support through all seasons (rain, shine or cold!) means so much to our producers who bring us as much local goodness as they can year-round. We look forward to seeing you on Friday!
