August 25th Market Day

Recreate a dish with our eggplant/artichoke logo! We have not one… not two… but THREE vendors bringing eggplants to the market. Who are they? Pick up eggplants from Greendale Herb & Vine, Zaklan Heritage Farm or Ripple Creek Certified Organic Farm. You can even grab an artichoke from Ossome Acres Certified Organic farm and VOILA you can create an RCFM logo dish!

We are delighted to be bringing you two special guests this week!
