Are you a true Hot Head?!? Join our fun Hot Sauce tasting competition and prove your mettle!

*Fun crafts for kids & adults!

You'll be able to pick up fun stickers and tattoos that show your support for local food and farmers' markets--which is what we are all about! Summer produce will be in abundance, so this is a great time to visit before the busy back-to-school season hits.
