"There's lumberjacks and teamsters and sailors from the sea, There's farmin' boys from Texas and the hills of Tennessee,
 
There's miners from Kentucky, there's fishermen from Maine; Every worker in the country rides that Farmer-Labor train."
- 
Farmer-Labor Train by Woody Guthrie

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! ​  White Wine Sangria With Summer Fruits from the Spruce Eats. Sangria is mostly recognized as a red wine beverage, but white wine makes a fantastic version as well, bringing a lighter profile. Including peaches, strawberries, and lemonade enhances the fruity flavor of the white wine and transforms the bottle into the perfect punch for backyard barbecues and other summer parties. Find your White Wine and summer fruits at the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market this Wednesday.

 Do you know? What wines wines pair well with what foods? Like, white wines pair well with white meat, fish or poultry while red wines pair well with red meat, e.g., beef, buffalo and venison. Learn more from this article, "Food and Wine Pairing Basics, from Wine Folly." Learn also about 10 Health Benefits of Wine according to Science - from the fact that red wines are rich in antioxidants to it keeps your heart healthy! 


Be sure to visit all of our amazing farmers and producers as listed above, and cool your core with a Jessica's Snowball while you're at the Market this Wednesday! Jessica would like you to know that Corn Crib Honey Co.'s mobile store will be set up next to her snowball stand on the following dates: August 25 and September 8.

​COVID 19 Updates: Our patrons may still place preorders for pick-up at the market during 2021.  While the statewide mandates set by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan to mitigate  COVID-19  have been relaxed and lifted as of July 1st, COVID-19 is still present and there may be variants. We are on the 45-day grace period. Therefore,  we request that everyone entering the market show respect for our community. Our patrons, vendors and farmers' market team appreciate it. 

We encourage  social distancing, and hand washing/sanitation while on-site at the market. Our vendors who are serving samples and prepared food will still wear masks to protect the public; however, we leave the choice to you to mask up. Patience is appreciated as we navigate health and safety practices as we recover from uncertain times. As Spock would say, "Live Long and Prosper." That's what we want for you, so come Buy Local and Eat Fresh and Healthy, and spend time outside with us at the 2021 Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market!
