 Sand Mountain Farmers Market Announcement:

 We have had great customer response to the new market.  The number of growers has increased to offer a wide variety of produce.  On July 5th we had a blackberry pancake breakfast-local blackberries were used in the pancakes and syrup.  Sim's family returned to the market with new honey.  There were cantaloupes, beans, corn, okra, blackberries, squash, green tomatoes, breads and eggs.  Each week is expected to bring new offerings.  Regular events are 1st Saturday-pancake breakfast and 3rd Saturday-cooking demo from local cooks.  Other events will be scheduled according to the season.
