09/17/18 - At the Market Tonight

I'd like to start by thanking all of our amazing and supportive shoppers who braved a classic Florida thunderstorm last week while attending the market.  We always have a hard time with the summer, but we stick it out for our small businesses and our shoppers - so thank you for making it worthwhile!  

Tonight we are welcoming some new vendors to the market family.  You may have seen Oxx Beekeeping there last week, but we didn't get a chance to introduce this awesome business.  They are committed to preserving the bee population through pesticide-free hive management.  They use the raw honey their bees produce to make healthy skin and self-care products.  

You'll also see new faces on the baked goods front.  Cay Cakes Bakery is joining the market with vegan cupcakes and other desserts.  They also cater to food allergies, so it's nice to have even more options for every diet.  And last but certainly not least, The Butchershop Baker is starting at the market tonight.  Chef Lydia makes amazing bread the old-fashioned way, including sourdoughs, baguettes, and other baked goods.  I, for one, cannot wait to stock up!

All that, and you get to shop from our other amazing vendors, all in one neighborhood.

Cheers,

Gabby Lothrop 
Market Director
