Market Is Open

ALFN Members,

What a wonderful, rainy weekend! I hope you’ve had the chance to relax and enjoy the pitter-patter on the roofs. It may be soggy and gray outside, but the market is open and bursting with color. Take advantage of all the last veggies of summer. But don’t forget we have grains, breads, meats, eggs and much more to choose!
