Jonesborough Saturday Market 5/24


Oh boy, it is going to be a fantastic day for the Saturday market.

This week music will be the Blue Ridge Entertainers plus Roy Andrade.

All Nature Sings with Ginny Wall will have your favorite soaps.

Garlic scapes – first taste of garlic in the spring. Cut off the plant to encourage greater bulb growth, they can be used in stir-fries, soups or diced on baked potatoes or pizza. Paired with wild nettles they make a nice spring pesto. Rodney with Salamander Springs Farm will have these along with some Shiitake mushrooms. Yum, sounds delicious!

Dominick’s Garden has finally produced and he will be with us for the first time this season.

We still need more white plastic bags, if you would like to recycle your bags please drop off at the information booth.

See you on the street!
