π Come see what all the buzz is about at The Farmerβs Market π

VENDOR SPOTLIGHT:
Dynamic duo and friends for life, Leslie and Kate of The Family Farmstead and Kateβs Granola share a booth as well as their passion for food at the Saturday market!
During her previous experience as a chef, Leslie knew that the best ingredients make the best food, so she was inspired to start raising them herself! Sheβs got whole free-range chickens, Heritage cattle, Red Wattle hogs, and pasture-raised turkeys. She sells out fast, but you can sign up for her waitlist. Well worth it.
Kateβs been making granola for years, but with the encouragement of Leslie decided to make a business of it just last year! Itβs her first year at the market and already her various granolas and frozen yogurt bars are a huge hit!
Find them at the south end of the market π·π»
