What a Month

February is wild, y’all! Balmy mid-70s temps earlier this week, and a chilly and sunny morning greeting us this Saturday. Take a sneak peek at this week’s newsletter or our social media page and you’ll see that through this wild ride, the DFM farmers and crafters are bringing another beautiful display of all the freshest groceries and high quality products we are continually spoiled with!

Ahead of Mardi Gras, some vendors have specials like Andouille sausage and Boston Butt steaks, as well as fun items at the bakery tables. And as always, we’ll have your favorite produce like broccoli, spinach, carrots, radishes, chard, bok choy, cabbage, squash, pumpkins, celery, beets, kale, onions, brussels sprouts, and lots more.
