At Dexter Lake State Park
Every Sunday through September 29
It rained last Sunday, and we had a small market. Never-the-less, we had a good balance of fruits and veggies, and Phil sold his smoothies and other treats, such as frozen smoothy pops, and frozen bananas dipped in chocolate.
We enjoyed the presence of Christelle Munnelly from Moon Root Farm in Cottage Grove, selling for the first time at Dexter Lake Farmers Market. Christelle features liquid and bar soaps, goat milk soap, soy candles, organic vegetables, chicken and free range eggs.

Dexter Lake Farmers Market is proud to share many unique products. One of my favorites is the pasture-raised pork from Quick Bear Farm.Pasture-raised means that the pigs have a shelter, and they can also run and move about in the pasture. Getting a lot of exercise means that the pork is lean. They eat grasses and weeds, roots, fruits, veggies, dairy, and some grain. Quick Bear Farm Pork products are sold frozen.

| We learned what low fat means when we prepared our package of pork for breakfast the day after we bought it at the market. The amount of fat poured off was minimal, and yet the texture and flavor were excellent. |
There's something for everyone at Dexter Lake Farmers Market. We're proud of the selection of fruits and vegetables we have been able to offer this year. Wood-fired oven pizza is always popular; Pam and Donaldo use cheese and veggies from the market on the pizzas they make. Annette of River Bend Farm brings a popular array of baked goods along with a variety of fruits and vegetables; among the favorites of her many fine products are cookies, available in several varieties. She has been bring a steady supply of her home-grown SunCrest peaches.
We'll be set up at Dexter Lake State Park every Sunday through the end of September from noon until 3 PM. Hope to see you there!
