Join us this Wednesday at the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market, August 16th, 3-7 PM in the Municipal Parking Lot at Park Avenue and Cross Street, in Mount Airy!  We're welcoming two new vendors this week to the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market! Bella Valeri's Spicy Spaghetti Sauce is freshly made in a local kitchen and brought to you at the market! So, stop in on your way home to take a stroll down the marketplace, talk to Bella Valeri's Spaghetti Sauce Chef, Nicole and pick up some for dinner. Just cook up some spaghetti noodles and you've got your Italian-style meal within minutes! We're also welcoming D&S Microgreens ... Microgreens are becoming very popular these days as we work to stay healthy! According to SFGate, "Their increasing popularity is due partly to their ability to pack a lot of flavor in a small amount, as well as their flexibility in being included in a dish. Mix them to create a small, flavorful and delicately textured salad, or use only one or two greens to give a plate a final touch. Microgreens, in addition to their strong flavors, are also lauded for their health benefits, which can vary depending on the type of microgreen."
