Wow, August is already here and it seems like we just opened our 2013 market season! The Fayette County school s start in less than two weeks. That means parents need to start thinking abut nutritious lunches for their children. Our farmers will be bringing homegrown goodness to the market through October, so you have plenty of time to purchase items that can be included fresh for now or canned or frozen for use in winter lunchboxes. So, start your shopping list now and include some of the homegrown goodness that will be available tomorrow at one of our two market locations!

We'll be set up in the beautiful tree lined parking lot of Pedal the Planet and Fast Signs, right next door to the Glenn Auto Mall on Richmond Rd. It's just a hop, skip and a jump outside of Man 'O War Blvd. Parking is right there so you don't have to drive around hunting for a spot to park. The parking lot is also paved and that makes it very stroller and wheelchair friendly!

Look for us in the Stonewall Center, set up in front of Another Man's Treasure. Plenty of free parking available!
