Visit the Sorauren Field House this Monday to pick up some delicious offerings from our vendors. As always, they will be offering up a great selection of fresh produce, baked goods, naturally raised meats, prepared foods and more from 4pm -7pm.
Defloured will return this week with gluten free treats and Sarah from Field Sparrow Farms will once again be bringing along vegetables from her neighbour's farm. Last week she had potatoes, carrots, and spinach. Come by this week to see what she's got!
