GREAT DAY AT THE MARKET

Special thanks to all of our customers, old and new, to our vendors, to our partners, and to our volunteers for making last Saturday a wonderful day at the Sandhills Farmers Market!

It was a great day for customers to hang out and get to know the vendors and volunteers, and exchange recipes. Special thanks to Beatrice who took the time to make a second trip to the Market to share not only her banana bread recipe, but also a sampling of her tasty banana bread! Special thanks also to Brian and his son who stayed awhile to talk about his love of gardening and talent for cooking!

Cecil had a bounty of vegetables, including field peas and several varieties of hot peppers. Rhonda's beautiful display of handcrafted jewelry caught the eyes of many customers. We had fresh local blueberries picked fresh that morning that sold out quickly. Not to mention our local melons that have been bursting with flavor all season long!

CES Agriculture Agent, Shauna Haslem, arranged for Master Gardener George Quigley to come out to the Market and answer questions to all who were interested. Thanks Shauna and George!

Thanks to all of the volunteers who come out each Saturday to support the Market and share with all the pleasure of their company.

Until next Saturday, Everyone!
