Melons & Raspberries,

galore.....well unleast until we sell out. We are also going to the Benedictine Nursing Home/Riverview Hospital on Tuesdays. We set up on a picnic table and have the goodies on the benches. Most of the customers are in wheelchairs, so then everything is eye level for them. They seem to enjoy coming out and getting a few things.
We seldom will have any melons/berries at the Farmer's Market, as we sell them out during the week, so stop out at the farm and get some!
