Grateful for Sunshine


So happy to see some sunshine peeking thru!!

Thanks to Grumpy Goat Experiment for the great display and snacks we enjoyed last Tuesday night at pickup!!

So fun to see their many yarn textures and colors in person!! The thin crispy crackers are addicting (can’t wait til those get on the Market!!), and it was so hard to choose a soap to try when they all smell just incredible!

We’re thrilled what a good run it’s been with the Maple Syrup this winter!!

There’s a new smaller size of Maple Syrup bottled in glass this week, whether you prefer glass or need a lovely local gift!!

And 6635 StudeBaker is teaming up with McGuffey Herb and Spice Co. to offer a new class in StudeBaker’s finished summer kitchen (complete with bake oven and teaching space!) – and watch for additional baking classes being offered this Spring!!

We hope Simple Living Farm and The Farmhouse Bakery are recharging and relaxing on their vacations, and look forward to them joining us back on the Market soon!!

We are happy to have local favorite Tin Roof Mobile Food back with their Charlois beef on the Market this week!!

Be sure to check out their beloved Stew Cubes and Ribeye Steaks! Plus 4lb Soup Bones?! Who doesn’t need to make some healthful Bone Broth this time of year?!

And we’re so glad to also Welcome back Katie Bensman to our Market family!! Many of you loved her Mother Suds Soap Company products, and until she again makes her indispensable salves, she’ll be offering a variety of Produce from her beautiful homestead, Dutch Roost Farm!

For starters, check out her Grandma Bensman’s Pie Pumpkins! They’re delicious, they cook up like a dream, and of course are organically grown – be sure to save the seeds for planting!!

It’s wonderful to have you both back!! :-)
