Here we go again!
Now open at 9am!
Welcome back to the 14th opening of the summer market this Saturday! 80+ new and returning vendors will be cycling through the season providing a great mix of products. Don’t see your fave vendor this week? Chances are they are on their way. Spring was cold, local vegetables and fruit are just slowly getting going. Expect to see much more variety on the tables towards the end of the month. Meanwhile ‘eat your greens’…because there will be plenty of them! Berries are ripening in the hoop houses, we may see some next week even. Eating seasonally makes us get creative, so stop by the Market Kitchen this season and watch Chefs Amy and Deborah prepare market products each day 10am-Noon. Some of our fab farmers and vendors will be making guest appearances in the kitchen too this summer, which will most certainly be entertaining and you’ll hear all about their products!
