Thank you for supporting our local small farmers especially now when they need you most.  The challenges of extreme weather events have taken their toll. Thank you for your part by shopping farmers markets and for participating in our local food system!

With mask recommendations still in place, please be sensitive to those in our community who are taking extra precautions.  If you don’t have a mask, please give them space.

We are forever thankful for the many blessings and support of this community.

See you Sunday!!
