We’re excited about Saturday’s market! First of all, it supposed to be about 30
degrees warmer than last Saturday, but best of all, we’ll have a great market
to offer you. Last week despite the frigid temperatures we saw the community in
action.
Many, many people braved the weather to support Wiestside BBQ who sold
their smoked meats at the market after having their restaurant damaged by fire.
So many showed up that they sold out of meat in only 30 minutes. But do not
despair if you arrived after 9:30. The Wiest’s were so encouraged by their
sales that they have located a smoker to replace the one damaged in the fire and
will be back at the market this Saturday with ribs, brisket and pulled pork.
Yoder Farm will be back Saturday with live shrimp. They’ve
been away from the market for a couple of months while they raised a new clutch.
They hope to make this crop last for three to four markets, beginning with this
one.
And we now have a vendor that offers a service we’ve been wanting
a long time – knife sharpening. Sharpener William Lynn won’t be at the market
every week, so this Saturday would be a good day to bring your knives, scissors
and rotary blades to be sharpened while you shop.
Ghetto Taco’s breakfast burritos were a big hit last week. They’ll
be on the menu again this week, along with biscuits and gravy, sausage, and
eggs.

Five farms will be at the market with loads of fresh produce.
We’ll have honey, jams and jellies, baked goods, freshly roasted coffee beans,
farm fresh eggs, candy, pork, beef, lamb and chicken, pecans, both our soap
makers and Delightful Gifts with their firestarters. Dinner’s Ready will have
frozen ready-for-the-crockpot meals – pork tenderloin with potatoes and
carrots, chicken and noodles with carrots, chicken breast with potatoes and
green beans, taco soup, and white chicken chili. Each is $15 and serves four.
