Be sure to come to the market on Saturday, September 5, for our “Sweetness of Fall – Apple Festival”! Bring your apple recipe and sample for the public judges; learn how to make apple hand pies from Susan Turnbull and Janean Bowen; bob for apples – and a new addition to our program, we will have a “junior chef,” Claire Harris, who will prepare an apple dish. Lots of fun!
Last chance to register for the September 5 Market Bundle Give Away. Lynn Hoffman can help you. She also has cards with information about vegetables and recipes for you to try.
SNAP (food stamp) users, double the amount you can purchase when you scan your card at the Market any market day. If you scan for $5, you will get $10 of tokens; scan for $25, and get $50 of tokens. Lynn Hoffman can scan credit, debit, and SNAP cards.
