Bring on the sunshine and the end of this latest polar vortex roller coaster!
We have been completely in awe of our vendors preparations for the deep cold, nurturing flocks, herds and tender veggies under hoops. We look forward this weekend's beautiful product as well as ALL that is under cultivation for spring harvests.
While many of us prepare for the SPHEROID action on Sunday, let's raise a glass to all farmers and producers for ensuring through their tireless efforts that we are all grounded in the best of ways with the best of food and more!
Please DO check out what is NEW this weekend and get ready to enjoy the sun across your face and the smiles of all who share your path - see you Saturday!
