Looks like some BEAUTIFUL weather on tap for tomorrow…

We will have Becky Crawford, nutrition educator from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cayuga County, on site from 10am-noon doing cooking demos and handing out recipes for Farm FRESH Salsa that YOU can make using what YOU find right here, at the Aurora Farmers Market!

Don’t forget to include coming to pick up your weekly produce, honey, fresh Baked Doughnuts, FRESH fruits, squash, and herbs alongside your neighbors in your weekend plans!

Look for the Farmers Market flutter flags, sandwich board signs, and product signs along Route 90, across from the main Wells College Campus.  Park in the boathouse parking lot – which will be for market patrons only on Saturday morning – or along Rt. 90 and come on down the driveway, to the boathouse and join the fun!

(Don’t forget that you can also come by boat, the dock has plenty of space!)

You all enjoyed seeing Richard from the Wells College Press pop-up shop last weekend.
