Market Happenings...

It's the last Saturday to enter the 2nd Annual "Biggest Tomato Contest." Does your tomato have what it takes to be the winner? Bring your beefiest tomato to Nina’s Red Barn Farm booth for weighing. Nina will accept entries every Saturday in August between 9:00 AM and Noon. Tomatoes will be judged solely on weight, so the heaviest tomato weighed during the month will be the winner. Winners will receive $100 in Market Bucks to spend at the Farmers’ Market.

In October you’ll have the opportunity to bring us your biggest pumpkin…
so start nursing them to size!
