STOCK YOUR PANTRY AND FREEZER NOW!
Saturday, December 9th is our last farmers market for the 2017 Season. We have had a great year and appreciate everyone who stopped by and supported our local farmers and craftsmen. We continue to have a variety of fresh locally grown vegetables. Be sure to stock up on pasture raised beef for your winter roasts, grilling, soups and stews. Don’t forget to get plenty of local honey, jellies and jams to last you until the spring. Did you know many of the fresh vegetables you buy now may be cooked and frozen or frozen raw for eating later? Including collards, kale, and greens! You can also stock up on Ms. Ada’s breads and pies – they freeze well, too! Jerri Jones will be at the market with her unique knitwear for all ages and Suzanne Chiotakis will have her semi-precious gemstone jewelry. These make one-of-a kind special gifts for practically anyone on your holiday shopping list – and be sure to treat yourself!
Again, we thank each of you for your support during our 2017 season and hope to see you one more time tomorrow! Remember, you will be warm and cozy while you shop in our heated indoor facility.
Support your local farmers and stop by the VCRFM this week.
