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.

Saturday mornings

Our town of 12,000 has a great farmers and artisans market - outdoor for 6 months and indoors for 6 months. An incredible array of goods are found here. Today's spring market featured bedding plants, perennials, fresh asparagus, rhubarb, eggs, honey, maple syrup, and incredible handcrafted artisan wares. The Washington House folks were in the market scooping ice cream - yummmmmmmm and totally appropriate as Two Rivers is the home of the ice cream sundae!

The Two Rivers market is the best place to be on Saturday morning - bar none.
