Yummy in the tummy

What's the best part about a summer farmers' market? Well, it's hard to say, but it'd guess it's the beans - peas - kohlrabi - cabbage - heirloom tomatoes - zucchini - patty pans - onions - dill - oregano - chard - lettuce - sorrel - chives - leeks - garlic - corn - sweet peppers - hot, hot, hot peppers, blackberries - blueberries - mesclun mix - mustard greens - collards - shungiku - amaranth - and everything else that belongs on this list.

Oh yah, honey - maple syrup - garden art - folk art - baby britches bags - garden stepping stones - inspirational stones - woven rugs - jewelery - ready to eat foods - bakery. Oh, and I know there's more - - -

I love our market - all 50+ vendors strong.
