I believe a comparison of local products with large grocery stores will show that our prices are quite comparable! Plus, if you shop RCM you get very fresh food with a local story! We love providing a platform for the amazing local makers and producers and helping them spread the word about local foods! Get baked goods without preservatives, meats without dyes and additives and eggs fresh from the farm! Our vendors make jams and jellies with fruits that are in season and harvest vegetables sometimes just a couple of hours before they are delivered to you! The improving weather should be good for helping the growing things recover from the cold… so, hopefully, more fresh produce will be returning soon! In the meantime, fill your freezer with local meats, stock up on fresh eggs, sample the huge variety of baked goods and try a new flavor of jam or jelly! Maple Brook Bakery will be doing a pop-up during order pick-up at this week’s market; be sure you sample some of her goodies! Isn’t She Sweet has a new Polynesian bread this week and it’s not too early to be thinking about Valentine’s Day! Check out the selection of candy and gifts! Thank you for shopping local!
