It's Market Monday, and it's National Farmers Market Week.  If you're used to shopping local and eating with the seasons, you'll know this isn't exactly peak season around Florida, as it is for much of the rest of the country.  But the farmers and businesses we work with operate year round, so we're proud to celebrate this week with our amazing vendors who have stuck it out in some of the toughest weather! 

We're welcoming back our friends from Bleu Basil today, so there'll be some tasty handmade pastas and sauces to grab along with the other delicious provisions our vendors offer. And Thrown by Hand is back with a pop-up appearance, featuring handmade, functional pottery.  

As a weekly reminder in these pandemic times, we will continue to provide hand-washing facilities and will maintain a setup that allows for plenty of space.  We have masks on hand for anyone who wants them - just stop by the HQ booth and ask.  Please continue to limit to one party per booth at a time, and maintain a safe distance from your fellow shoppers.  

We hope to see you at the market. 

With Gratitude,

Gabby Lothrop 
Market Director
