It is going to be a scorcher this weekend! Come early, we open at 8:00 — and we have ice cream! We also have a great variety of vegetables and fruits, wonderful bakery and talented crafters.
Check out the recipe for Classic Basil Pesto on the Recipes tab this week (http://caryfarmersmarket.com/brain-food/).
So take it slow in the heat, we will have a tent up for shade and you can take a break and listen to this weeks entertainment.
Orchid Quartet – The quartet consists of Max Molander (guitar, cello), Evan Alexander (banjo, mandolin, guitar), Daphne Vosberg (vocalist), and Laura Munoz (violin). Their style is rooted in folk music but they enjoy branching out into bluegrass, jazz, Latin, and other styles. All of the members live in Cary where Max, Daphne, and Laura are attending Cary High School and Evan is a recent graduate.
