Thanks to a USDA Farmers Market Promotional Grant awarded in 2019, we'll be releasing a series of videos highlighting each of our vendors, over the coming year. As a part of this project, we've been able to contract with Peace Frame Productions and Megan Casady Photography to produce these amazing videos. To view more videos like these check out our YouTube page.
