Week of July 25 & 28

Perhaps you've wondered - What does peak season at the market really look like?  I'm glad you asked!  Here is just a partial list of the produce we've been seeing - many in fun varieties you won't find at the grocery store!

Remember, you can also find locally-raised meats, eggs, baked goods, flour, raw and pasteurized milk, yogurt, canned and fermented foods, honey, coffee with homemade flavored creamers, handmade cat toys, and bath and beauty products.  What are you waiting for?!

Looking for some outdoor fun for the kiddos!  Bring your little explorers to the Kids' Tent, where a local Tinkergarten leader will be providing fun nature-based activities.  Learn more about upcoming outdoor classes where kids learn through play.

As always, you can swipe your credit, debit, or EBT card for market tokens in the market information booth.  Vendors who accept tokens will have a sign posted in their booths.
