Market News:  Products of the week appear to be Onions, Tomato, Italian Eggplant,
Swiss Chard, Carrots, Green Beans, Sweet Peppers, Scallions, Broccoli, and Lettuce.

Thank you all, who entered the Big Zucchini and Whopper of a Cucumber Contest last
Saturday.  We all enjoyed looking at these amazingly large vegetables!!  The winning
zucchini was from Otrembiak Farm at 7.5 lbs.  Dee Stevens and Steve Otrembiak's
zucchini's tied for longest--to the millimeter!  Congrats to customer Patty Mullenswhose
cucumber tipped the scales at a whopping 5.8lbs, but no one came
close to Steve Otrembiak's longest cucumber at 21.5 inches!  ALL WINNERS RECEIVED
