Last week's market was our first monthly market and boy was it a success. We had six farmers come out and set up with a variety of fresh produce, delicious honey, boiled peanuts, and some beautiful mums. Three of these farmers were new to our market and we were so grateful to have them join our team! Welcome Jessica Wilson, the Browns, and Maters & Taters!
The market was filled with lots of color and some Caribbean music this week to help brighten up a cloudy day. But the weather certainly didn't stop us from having a great time and selling lots of local goodies. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our farmers!
The sample this week was Creamy Grape Salad with Candied Walnuts and we used yummy muscadine grapes grown right over in Wilmington! It doesn't get much better than that. If you were lucky enough to snag any of these delicious grapes we suggest you give this recipe a try for yourself. Maybe as a side dish at dinner this week or even as an appetizer or dessert to a party or event this weekend. You can find the recipe, and all other market recipes from this year, at http://go.ncsu.edu/2014marketrecipes.

Our next market will be Thursday, October 16th and we will be featuring apples, sweet potatoes, and mums. I've heard there will be more delicious honey and maybe a few other special goodies so make sure you stop by to see what these items are!
