Weblog Entry
Good morning!
The market is open as usual, and will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm. Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”
The farmers and managers would really appreciate your efforts to help spread the word about our fantastic market. What a great local resource for fresh, local farm products. Please pick up a few business cards to hand out to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Advertising is very expensive, and we want to use our slim market funds in a responsible manner.
Please don’t forget that there may be a little extra traffic between you and market this week, because of the start of the Bonnaroo Music Festival. Just allow a little extra travel time.
Farm News of the Week

Well, not exactly a new farm – actually a returning farm –
Erdmann Farm has listed Swiss chard, as well as ‘Anaheim’ and ‘Islander’ peppers, and John hopes to be able to add to our list of vegetables as the season progresses.
