I went to the Spruill Market for the 1st time June 21, 2008. There were not many venders but maybe it was because it was Wednesday. I bought squash and blueberries, which we enjoyed. My experience was positive. I like having the choice of selecting locally grown food over other stuff that's been trucked in from a great distance. I will try going on Saturday next time. Penny

I am so sorry you were disappointed. We have had a hard Spring with frost and storms destroying many of the crops we were supposed to bring to market this time of year. That coupled with high fuel costs have kept some of our farmers away. Summer crops are starting to come in and produce is becoming more abundant. We have added more vendors and two new farmers. Tomatoes are about 2 weeks out. Also, I recommend coming early. We farmers try to bring what we know we sell in one day. This reduces waste (produce and the farm workers' salaries we have to pay to help us pick, wash, package, and load everything). If you come late, yes we will be sold out of most everything.
