Market News
We are back in business and open for our regular hours beginning with Monday morning.
I hope everyone had as great a Christmas as I did. It’s always good to have a little time off from regular routines and be able to be with family while celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. We almost had a white Christmas this year. It came a day late for us here in the South, but the large flakes were really pretty nonetheless.
I saw this article and thought it was very interesting. Click on the link to read about how the government is finally getting on the ball with fresh real food for kids. Actually, it might be better to copy and paste the link since I’m notorious for “dead” links.

“While the news is often filled with stories of decline in the U.S. — home prices, influence in the world, etc. — one area where the nation perennially seems to be a leader is our expanding waistlines.”
Even though we’re entering into Winter, we still have some great stuff available on the hub. Several growers have lots of nutritious greens, and there’s turnips, radishes and some yummy winter squashes while supplies last.
The Dutchmaid Bakery has some delicious breads this week. They also do rolls, even though they’re not listed on the website. Just let me know if you are interested.
Thank you for supporting your local food hub!
