June.
Can you believe it's June? Can you believe we've got an entire month of weekly Markets under our belts? This time of the Market Season is one of my favorites. The harvest is plentiful with fresh veggies, juicy fruits and berries, and beautiful flowers. This time of the Market Season makes me want to eat all things fresh, outdoors and healthy. I look forward to the Saturdays where I can stroll around the Market, bumping into familiar faces, chatting with friendly vendors and coming home with bags full of locally grown and created goodness.
Also? I love that this weekend is the Market's annual Strawberry Festival!
We'll be celebrating the plump red berry this Saturday. In honor of all things Strawberries, we'll be serving free Strawberry Shortcake to the first 600 Market Goers tomorrow morning. Make sure you get to the Market bright and early so you don't miss out on cake!
Since it's the first Saturday, we'll be hosting our bi-weekly vendors. Be sure to stop by and meet our newest vendors, Yellow Spring Farms Goat Cheese and Golden Valley Farms Coffee Roasters if you haven't already! They make good stuff!
This weekend we will also be enjoying the fun music of Lucille St. Pierre and her street organ. if you've been to past Market's where Lucille has wowed us with her organ, you know we are in for a special treat!
More to come in the next few weeks - so stay tuned!

Ellen April will be at the market this week with their large selection of soaps and body products. If you haven't experienced the pleasure of their soap, they'll be happy to give you a sample to try at home before you buy. This week they are introducing their newest soap, Tropical Grapefruit. It is softly scented with the citrusy, spicy, sweet scent of the islands. Stop by their booth to check it out.
