    I’ve found the farmer’s market at St. Monica’s to be convenient and the produce and products they sell are the best, from the milk,& vegetables to the delicious pies, cookies, bread and cakes! I hate for the time to stop until spring to come. They deserve the award!! Thank you folks for providing us, the public, with a convient alternative to the stores!!!

    We went to the market yesterday morning. This time the inventory was a little sparse, but what they had was very good. I got some great homemade cookies, which made me really happy. The people there are very friendly and welcoming, and you’ll find something you like (especially the cookies). Did I say they have some delicious cookies?
