Fresh cut herbs include Sweet Thai Basil, Genovese Basil, lemon, mammoth and purple basil, rosemary, garlic chives and epazote.

Some vendors also have farm fresh eggs, potted plants and flowers, delicious homemade jams and relishes. Jewelry, pretty aprons, and handmade soaps and lotions are just some of our crafts.

We are now selling raffle tickets for $5.00, available at the Market Manager�s table, a drawing will be held once a month with the winner receiving an item from each vendor, and the July winner was Miles McGinnis!
