Thank You to Those Who Helped Stock!

Our deep thanks to all the volunteers - of all sizes! - that have joined us over the last few days to help stock the shelves.  As much as we think about it and know what is happening, actually seeing food on the shelves after so many years of dreaming about it is simply astounding.  Seeing our members joining together to make this dream a reality continues to be extremely moving for all of us.  Thank you!  In less than a week the market will be open!

Volunteer Woodworkers Needed

From time to time there is a need to have something built for our market.  We'd love to have some members who are woodworkers that we could turn to for relatively simple projects.  If you are available and interested, please let us know.

Our immediate need is for some shelves for our bakery delivery sheds.  Here is a picture of what Weavers Way uses.  You'll be able to go take a closer look at their solution if you would like.  Please let us know if you can help!
