Happy July!  We're gearing up for a mid-week holiday by making our shopping lists for tonight's market.  There'll be lots of great items to throw on the grill, from summer veggies to fresh chicken and seafood.  Grab a pint of vegan ice cream or coconut water fruit popsicles to share at a picnic, or stock up on tropical fruit for a Florida-fresh fruit salad.  We love any celebration where we get to share food!  

Join us in welcoming our newest food vendor, Orlando Food Dept.  This awesome company uses local ingredients to produce all-natural, handcrafted, hearty, homestyle prepared meals with international flair, available for home delivery.  They'll be at the market selling meals to enjoy on site, so you can try it for yourself!

The Master Gardener program will also be here for their monthly visit, to help answer your plant questions, provide soil ph tests, and let you know what you should be starting now for your next crop of home-grown veggies.  

We hope to see you there tonight!

Cheers,

Gabby Lothrop
Market Director
