Why not bring the whole family? Invite your friends and neighbors! And feel free to grab some fliers at customer pick-up to help us spread the word :-) Not only will we showcase the incredible assortment of meats, cheeses, eggs, fresh produce, sweeteners, baked goods, and foodstuffs from dozens of vendors, but with everything from wooden kitchen tools and houseplants to custom-roasted coffee and gift sets, they’ll be something for everyone!
