A Fine Day at the Market

Looking forward to a beautiful warm and breezy day, a little overcast with the normal threat of scattered thunderstorms but only a 20% chance of precipitation which usually means nothing to write home about! Come hungry and read to get good food into your fridge and cupboards, into a pot or oven onto a grill even! Need a nosh? Byrd House Market. Need plants? BHM. Got SNAP? Come to the Info Tent! Student Boxes (Agriberry, Byrd Farm, Epic Gardens). Massage by Robin Raver. Playground and Mulberry tree shade!
