doesn't offer for $25 per week. We suggest once a month attendance. If

Coming Attractions : Unfortunately, ECO City Farms' status is questionable
for 2017. Musachio Produce is out until ? Red Chimney Farm will be coming
back on a guest vendor basis. Many new vendors will premiere this season.

We're outdoors from this Thursday through November with our neighbors,
friends, and vendors. Outdoor market is coming soon! As always, it will
trickle along
until the weather stays warm for a while and more things come up from the
ground.
It's still an exciting time of year, even if it takes a while to get going.
