Daylight is staying longer, the trees are filling in AND strawberries will be here soon. And tomatoes. With the summer produce coming the market continues to grow. This Saturday be sure to visit our new vendors Kosciks Greenhouses, Green Leaf Pastry, and Three-Two-Three. 
Three.Two.Three is a local new business venture. These women make & market unique handcrafted herbal products. All herbs are organic and all packaging is made from re-used recycled materials. They have herbal teas, herbal baths, their popular Chakra Focus pillows, Lavender eye pillows, and Snuggie Poos (adorable handcrafted stuffed toys filled with salt and lavender packs to warm up for that upset tummy or late night upset). Kosciks are bring bushels full of fresh, ground-grown tomatoes from their greenhouses.

And you asked, and McSmith’s listened – they will have bundles of fresh beet greens along with several other lettuce variety for all your summer salad needs. Someone mentioned to me on Saturday that he could smell something like….. Cinnamon? Fresh, made-in-front of your eyes – Sin-o-buns! What a treat!

Empire Valley is starting back this weekend. Look for their clay potted herbal arrangements, strawberry plants, and heritage tomato plants to get your garden going.
Last week’s winner of the customer appreciation draw was John & Sue O’Reilly. They took home a basket of goodies. Each vendor contributes something to this draw every week so be sure to fill out your name and number at the table inside – now set up at a table near the café. We welcome your suggestions, your input, and most importantly your presence at the market! The connectedness that happens every Saturday is so valuable and often intangible. It breathes new life into our community, it regenerates and it sustains. Continue to share and spread the word about St. Thomas’ Horton Farmers Market. Pass this e-mail along to everyone you know. Suggest meeting at the market for a coffee and a little social time. Look forward to seeing you at the market!
Cheers,
Tricia Herbert
Market Manager
