Itís going to be hot at the market; however, the vendors have moved under some huge trees, which should be much cooler and more comfortable for both vendors and shoppers.
There should be an abundance of vegetables: lots of tomatoes, including heritage tomatoes; peppers; green beans; peas; squash; cucumbers; okra; and lots of Silver King corn.
Free range eggs were available.
Fruits included peaches; cantaloupe; watermelons, both round and long ones; and figs.
Very nice hanging baskets and small potted plants were available.
Beef and pork of all cuts are also available, as well as honey in both pints and quarts.
Baked goods from Sweet Pickles looked very good, including bread in whole and half loaves: sourdough, wheat, marble rye, eight-grain and challah. Iím sure the bread would make great sandwiches with the pimento cheese and chicken salad that was for sale. Sweet potato chips and granola were also available. Sweets include crËme-filled cookies of chocolate and oatmeal, creme horns and both whole and half-pound cakes. They looked really tasty.
Last Friday, I bought some vegetables, fruits and a loaf of wheat bread; all were delicious.
So come on out next Friday, between 4 and 7 pm and try some of the great products sold at the Market at the Mill.
