Something new this year will be a recipe included in the box each week. Giving you the opportunity to follow the recipe at home. This can be a fun activity with the family and it may give you new ideas on preparing locally grown produce and foods.

Beck Beckham, the Market Manager said in a press release;

“These market boxes are packed with fall favorites from the best vendors around. Cut your shopping and cooking time in half, and shop at our virtual market. Order yours and let’s get cooking!”
