Market Offers Produce, Other Items Including Canjos

July 7, 2012

The Market at St. Monica’s will be open Saturday in Cantonment with lots of fresh produce and more.

Visitors to the market on the first and third Saturdays of each month have come to expect a wide variety of produce — there’s almost always tomatoes, many kinds of peppers, sweet corn, squash and more. But the market also offers baked goods, free range eggs, arts and crafts and items like soap, shampoo, and shampoo bars from goat’s milk.

There’s also Walnut Hill-made benches, tables and more from sycamore, oak, walnut and cedar.

And canjos. Canjos started as banjos made from tin cans, but now they have evolved into beautifully hand-crafted instruments made from oak, poplar and walnut.

Concessions are also available, including all-beef hotdogs, sno-cones, popcorn, cold sodas and bottled water.

The Market at Saint Monica’s will be held from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the church, located at 699 South Highway 95A in Cantonment.
