Tullahoma Locally Grown: April 29 - Your Market is OPEN
Good morning.
What nice weather! The vegetables are starting to come in and the market is getting busier. We have new growers for the season, so you have more options than ever before. We also have new customers each week, making it especially important to order early. You can place a quick order today to secure the items that might be in short supply, and then you can place additional orders between now and Wednesday at noon.
*Thank you for supporting our community’s local farmers. *
Want something special for next week? Consider a made-to-order loaf of Multigrain Bread, English Breakfast Toasting Bread or a half-dozen Jumbo Pretzel Rolls. All of these breads are made from scratch on market day.
Your local market closes at noon today (Wednesday). Order now before your favorite items run out.
Champaign, OH: Open!
After an evening of market site glitches, we are open!!
Much Love,
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

If you want something from the market this week, remember the window to order lasts from this morning until noon on Friday. I will be delivering at the Johnson County Community Farmers’ Market on Saturday, although I won’t be there until around 10:00 this week (for a very good reason – we are getting bees to set up a hive early Saturday morning!).
