Meet the Producers

March is the start of the Farmers Market year, when all our producers re-join the market for the coming year. This year we have lots of new members and we also have members that have been with us since the very first market 20 years ago. Over the next few weeks we thought we would feature each of our members as a way of introducing you to them all.
