Dear Friends Old friends reconnected and new friendships were formed last week at the market. We even had some visits from furry, four-legged friends! Vendors offered samples of jelly, smoothies and even sliders. Be sure to come visit us and see for yourself the community support and spirit that is rapidly developing at the Fall Line Farmers Market! Sincerely, Rachel Rivera Market Manager
