In addition to the regular market fare you are used to, we are happy to say that this Saturday we will have much more than is generally expected for November.  The extraordinarily warm and wet Fall will afford the following special items:  dried and fresh herbs, fresh peppers, jalapenos, lettuces and greens, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, sprouts, soaps, and a unique sweet potato butter/jam.  And the next Second Saturday market for December will be the 12th.
