this week.

Feature News:
Maryland Market Money is back for SNAP & WIC-FVC @ $4 per week due to the
overwhelming response of customers.

We are offering a new option for local businesspeople that complement our
food options. One local business per week will be offered a slot at the
farmers market to offer services and goods that the market doesn't offer
for $25 per week. We suggest once a month attendance. If you're interested,
please contact us.

Coming Atttractions: We are working on some more exciting projects for the
indoor market this year. We'll let you know when we have more info.

Winter Market is here! We will run straight through every Thursday from now
to March 24 indoors. This is barring blizzard conditions, of course.


Groff's Content Farm is stocked up with delicious forage fed beef, lots of
free range hen and duck eggs, and whole chickens on special for Winter only!

We're back indoors 3 to 7 tomorrow from the long holiday season and glad to
welcome 2016 with our neighbors, friends, and vendors. Tomorrow's lineup
includes the following vendors:

You won't see at market this week:  Peachy Family Dairy and ECO City Farms

 will be selling again next week. Jack Creek Plants and Red Chimney
Farm are finished for the rest of the year due to early frost. We hope to
see them in the Spring. Mystic Water Soap will be back in the Spring but
will make deliveries to the market on occasion. Geppetto Catering and The
Verandah are on hiatus until Spring.

Entertainers: *Audrey Engdahl *
Kid fun: Back to crayon drawings!!

Important Notices:
Food safety notice: Due to a preponderance of evidence and our county's
health department regulations, dogs are no longer welcome at
the farmers market. We regret the loss but hope that our dog owning
customers will forgive us for this change.
Important note about parking: only parallel parking is allowed on Maryland
Ave (the road that passes under East-West Highway) -- please do not park in
any other manner.
