Pepper Place Farmers Market rained out for May 3

Well, we did say try in that last post yesterday… but we felt that you would want to know that this morning’s debut of the 2008 Pepper Place Farmers Market has been rained out for May 3 (the threat of lightning didn’t help either). We wouldn’t want you to venture out in this storm for good food and be disappointed…

The rest of the 2008 schedule is available in our listing of the event. It runs through September 27.

It’s not like we’ll melt this weekend…

Looks like we may get some weather this weekend. Well, I won’t melt, and I’m guessing you won’t either so head on over to Timetable for my suggestions, rain or shine.

Find it fresh on Finley

We here at The Terminal have our alarm clocks set for early this Saturday. We know it’s best to get to Pepper Place when the market opens at 7 a.m. to get the pick of the crops. And we’ll stick around for the music and cooking demonstration. The coffee’s hot and we always run into people we know. But what about the other six days of the week? Say you get a craving for fresh produce on Thursday?
