Our vendors are what make us who we are so we want to thank them all for their hard work and effort to create a great farmers market! Get to know our 2011 Vendors:
Aeyles Farm, LLC - A post-organic project, working hand in hand with nature.
Don Henke and Cathy Tyler hope you enjoy their fresh produce, flowers, homemade "woodstove bread" and wood products. They have approximately 1/8 acre under cultivation (doubling next year) and their farm is managed using entirely organic principles: no herbicides or pesticides, no artifical fertilizers, and a conscious philosophy of always working toward a completely sustainable eco-culture.
Don and Cathy are also "front-porch musicians", and we are fortunate that they perform at the Farmers Market on a regular basis! They are known as "Bettr'N Nothin" and play a variety of country and bluegrass on the banjo and fiddle (and maybe harmonica, washboard and guitar).
