Saturday’s market day was hot and dusty. The morning began a little slow but traffic picked up well after a bit.
Thanks to everyone who came by for a visit.
We are getting great reviews on our first cookbook, “FARM FRESH RECIPES from the Boyle County Farmers’ Market.” The collection of our favorite recipes, using fresh fruits, vegetables and meats offered at our market throughout the season, is a keeper.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy, see any of our vendors.
The cookbooks retail for $10.75. If you would like for us to send one to you or ship one to a friend, add $2.50 for shipping.
For more information, e-mail Donna Bush at donnabee@bellsouth.net. Please reference “Cookbook Sale” in the subject line.
