Kent Island Market Shoppers… we will be set-up OUTSIDE but in front of Cult Classic today, March 12!
For Kent Island and the Weekend… Ozzy’s Hummus has returned!
For Saturday… Taste of Puebla will be here for Chestertown!

We’re in false spring… but man does it feel great!
Last night’s thunderstorm squall was wicked… yet oddly comforting. We (the labrador and I) sat out on the porch and watched the front roll across the Bay. It means that the seasons are changing. The air is shifting. Spring is coming. Fruit, flowers, freshness! We’ve all been watching the daffodils, crocus, and iris beginning to make their appearances. Yet! Don’t be quick to put those winter coats away… we know a cold snap is coming.
The Countdown Begins:
Newark Co-op Farmers Market & Brandywine Park Farmers Market
Summer is coming!
…and in case you missed it…
Fresh Mid-Atlantic Seafood available at the Chestertown Farmer’s Market!
