Change of Hours

Hurray for spring!  I was so happy to see that Ochoa Produce had fresh salad greens today.  Not only are they beautiful, they taste great too.

It was a chilly, rainy morning but we really need the rain, so I'm not complaining.  It was great to see everyone and my son was ecstatic about buying some of Karen's delicious cookies.  Today she had oatmeal raisin, oatmeal, and pecan.  It seems that her first customer of the morning bought all of the chocolate chip cookies that she brought!  I can understand why, they're delicious.

There are a couple of changes this year:

• market hours are changing to 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
• Tasty Fixin's will be participating sporadically and only carrying perennial herbs, although hopefully Andy will bring along some of his delicious canned goods
• Dogpatch Nursery won't be participating this year, although hopefully Keith will be around occasionally

Today the following was available at the market.
