I can test new jams, jellies, relishes and fermented produce to see what customers like. I constantly get feedback from my farmers market customers and incorporate what they share into my production.”

Part-time vendors currently signed up include B&G Collections, Count it All Joy Vinyl Designs, Crone Scones LLC, Everblooming Garden Glass, Fort Thom, Grassbelly Farm, Kountry Kitty Bath Shop, Maslyns Bands & Beads, Mrs. Yoder’s Kitchen, Puryear Farm Beef, Simply Magical, Smirkin’ Goat Farm, Sweet Pea Soaps & More and Waterfall Farms.
