Elmwood Farmers Market

Last week we had a new produce vendor. The rain cut the market short last weekend. Hopefully, they will be back this week. 

If you have extra produce, come to the Farmers Market on Saturday morning from 8 am - Noon to find a home for those extra cucumbers, and maybe even zucchinis. It's better than leaving them on your neighbors porch.
