Hello, everyone. I’ll have the following for Saturday:
Cucumbers, zucchinis, yellow squash, basil, Nicola potatoes, scallions,
jellies, mushroom and kale powder, and anything else I can find that is
ready. If you’d like to reserve something, please text me at 734 945

It’s tomato season! And we have plenty of bacon. You know what that means!! BLT’s! We only bring a couple of pounds of bacon, so the best way to ensure good summer eating is to pre-order. Also, we are sold out of nitrate-free ham slices. We still have plenty of regular ham slices for cold ham-barley-basil salad. It’s delicious on those summer evenings.
New! A reminder to all that I am now able to swipe your EBT card! We are only allowed have one reader per subscription, so if you know in advance that you would like to use your card, let me know so I can bring the device with me from the other market. If not, we’ll figure something out. Tell your friends! And a quick shout out to Joan: I have your lamb hearts for you!
Isn’t summer eating splendid?!
