Take home one of these beauties from The Pie Guy for Dad!
The Market has plenty of gift ideas for Dad this weekend. Treat that favorite man in the family to a fruit pie from the Pie Guy, buy him a wedge of Cada Dia Aged Cheddar, add a crusty loaf and select a good bottle of local wine! Thomas and Sons Distillery hand-crafted spirits are good straight or mixed into cocktails and Life Style Massage will have gift cards for sale. Fire up the grill and surprise him with some of the earliest local-caught TUNA ever! Birkeland Farms has pasture-raised beef and chickens, whole or in pieces…..perfect for grilling. Shy Ann Meats sausages and bacon are a Father’s Day breakfast must-have:)
