AUTUMN IS HERE!
We love this time of year. And the Market provides all of your Autumn needs: apples and pumpkins for yummy treats or savory soups, coffee and tea for sipping on crisp Fall nights, meat, cheese and produce to make kebabs and scrumptious appetizers for your football tailgate parties, flowers to spruce up your yard and home and even Pumpkin Spice Soap (yes! It's back this week!)
Our October Sweepstakes starts NEXT WEEKEND! Each Market, you can fill out a form (there will be a table set up) and be entered to win that week's prize. Next Saturday the prize will be a family of pumpkins! Make sure to enter, and be sure to check back to hear about the subsequent prizes.
