January, 2009

Its great to see the market grow each week and new vendors joining us! We still have the fantastic banana syrup that tastes just like caramel and is great on ice cream, we have Donna Sheilds baking her gluten free treats, Roman who comes every other week (not this week) with all his locally grown citrus fruits, Randi with his bags and purses made from fresh Key West coconut shells, Manny with his chilled coconuts that he cracks for you to drink right out the shell and Adele and her family with their home baked goodies and other earth friendly items.

Remember the restaurant is open from 9am to 3pm for breakfast and lunch. We have organic coffee, lots of teas, fresh juices and smoothies (always a great way to start the day!). This week we will also be serving a great Farmers Omelet as a special.

This weeks produce should include:

Plus our array of packaged ingredients, our banana bread, fruit and nut bars and sweet potato scones.

See you Sunday!

This week looks to be even better than last week and hopefully we will even be getting the first of the strawberries!
