If this were any normal season, we would be scooping ice cream for all our moms visiting the market. This year, however, we will be honoring our pandemic shop hours and closing on Sunday May 10. We have, however, baked up some very pretty cupcakes which will be available for sale ($1.75 each) on Friday and Saturday. Drop by or call in an order. Also check out our Mother's Day newsletter here.
