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!!
