Soaking Up That Summer Magic
Firstly, we want to thank everyone for coming out to celebrate National Farmers Market Week with us last Saturday.
It was simply a perfect market morning for all the great finds, music, free face painting and time spent together. Truly a celebration of what market season is all about.
We were happy to welcome back Hope & Hill Flower Co. from Blachardville with their beautiful bouquets (pictured).
Chocolate lovers also were delighted to see Driftless Chocolates pop in with their oh so wonderful treats, and we hope to catch them again later in the fall session.
New produce offerings this past weekend included new varieties of greens, ground cherries, new varieties of melons & hot peppers, flats of paste tomatoes and more.
It was also exciting to see the new variety boxes of olive oils from Firma Flavors (pictured), giving shoppers an opportunity to try their full array without committing to a whole bottle.
The rain keeps on coming this week and Saturday may be no exception, but have no fear we'll be out there rain or shine with even more great offerings. When August gets in full swing, there's no slowing down that market goodness.
As a reminder, we ask shoppers and vendors alike to please use the new gravel paths going forward and to let the old foot paths heal over and regrow with their native plantings.
See you at the market!

Market Manager
As a reminder to everyone, dogs are prohibited within the market area, though we welcome service animals at all times.
