Wipe Out last week, LOAD UP this week!
Wipe Out often conjures up the image of west coast surfers who's board has SWOOSHED right out from under the rider's feet or maybe the song...
Thanks to ALL of our customers last week, we experienced a bit of an Easter weekend SWOOSH of the best kind, an edible wipe out! SO this weekend, the Cobblestone SURF is UP and the offerings are plentiful for our early birds as well as our mid morning market shoppers. Please check out the extensive offerings and new items like Krankies' Housemade Strawberry soda and the ever increasing variety of veggies from ALL of the produce vendors, even RED 'maters!!
For those who do not do Facebook, we are resharing a post from today that we hope you will enjoy. It provides us another opportunity to thank you all for being an essential element of Cobblestone! See ya Saturday!
Our FB Post in response to the NPR article 'Why Farmers markets are Failing?’
We think the the operative question is...WHY DO FARMERS MARKETS SUCCEED and HOW! Thanks to our strong, consistent, talented vendor base of 50 plus from 10 counties AND our supportive, ever growing community customer base that averages upwards of 3500-4000 each week, along with a nimble management team, Cobblestone is able to continue thriving. We are honored and privileged to work alongside the commitment from our vendors and customers to increase good food access and economic growth for all each week.
