Hello DFM Shoppers, 

There are so many wonderful summer items showing up at the market this week that I felt it warranted a larger glimpse into what to expect this coming Saturday. As we head into summer, make sure to read the weekly vendor offering document (below) and take your time visiting each vendor –– they are known for having last-minute items pop-up that they’re excited to share with everyone.

Here is what to expect this Saturday:

• Barbee Farms: Sweet nectarines and plums, corn, okra, green beans, and field-grown tomatoes;
• Correll Farm: Cantaloupes, bi-color sweet corn, a wide variety of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and okra;
• Twin Oak Farms: Sweet corn and variety of tomatoes;
• Butter Crust Bakery: Cherry and Blackberry danishes;
• Herr Fresh Flowers: seasonal bouquets;
• Raceway Berry Farm: seasonal bouquets and bundles;
• Essential Soap Co.: Gardenia After Bath Body Oil

If you’re a fan of Updog Kombucha, make sure to visit them early on Saturday. They will have a limited supply as they prepare for new products launching in July!

Happy eating,

Justin
