We’re going crazy over this little yellow courgette, patty pan squash, and zucchini. 😍 Our Nourish customers are receiving an exciting variety of early summer produce today! Thank you Darnell School Farm for the lovely local vegetables. 💚💛

Did you know Urban Seeds began in Haynie’s Corner in 2005 as a group called the Urban Sisterhood? We were delighted to meet two original members this morning as we opened up Market on Main EVV for its first day!

Thank you for supporting Urban Seeds twenty years later, Marianne and Christine!

Apple Hill Orchard came in clutch with tart cherries for Harvest Happy Hour - Cherries & Berries. 🍒 Our farmer friend, Brad, says these sour varieties are named Romeo and Juliet because they thrive when planted close together. We were also surprised to learn Romeos and Juliets grow on bushes, not trees!

Thank you Apple Hill Orchard for letting us clean out your cherry crop. 🧺❤️ We're eager to share our cherry creations with our guests at Arcademie on June 26th.

First Franklin Street Bazaar of the year, CHECK. ✅

We had a chill time promoting our programs, managing SNAP acceptance and hanging out at Franklin Street Bazaar this past Saturday. Seeing friends and residents show up for this vibrant community event only made us more excited for our own opening day of Market on Main EVV! Make room in that fridge cause there'll be an abundance of fresh vegetables, baked goods and other yummy treats.

🧡 Market on Main operates from 9am to 1pm every Wednesday between June 3rd and September 30th.
