Happy Thursday!

Good Morning, City Greeners!

And a good morning it is indeed here at the market... Today we'll have a similar variety of vegetables that we've been having, along with a great selection of summer fruits to choose from. This will include CANTALOUPE, GRANNY SMITH APPLES, GALA APPLES, and HONEYDEW MELON!!!

We're looking forward to a great day at the market, and we hope you'll have a chance to join us.
