Produce is late, but picking up!

It’s been a hard spring for farmers and gardeners, with too much rain and then high heat. Our market vendors are behind with local produce, but things are picking up as some early crops finally catch up.

The weather has been especially hard for strawberries, but several vendors are selling them. Ron and Mary Meyer of Strawberry Hill Farm also sell their homemade strawberry jam and strawberry vinaigrette salad dressing. Additional produce available right now: garlic scapes (the flower stalks of garlic plants), lettuce and greens, radishes, and green onions. Soon there will be early peas.

The market welcomes some exciting new vendors this year.. Russ Riggle of Possum Products handcrafts beautiful wooden toys to delight children of all ages—trains, tractors, trucks and cars, and even farm animals and fences. Amy Shaw of The Flour Basket sells scrumptious cakes, muffins, and iced cinnamon rolls. And Theresa Scheetz is the gourmet cupcake lady, with a delicious selection of cupcakes and brownies.

Come and meet these friendly people and all of our vendors!
