Honey, cookies and candy, fancy soaps, used books? Farmer's Market has it!

"The honey girls are back!" was overheard this morning under the tent in the east parking lot at The Terraces at MapleCreek. Are you looking for honey and candles, yummy homemade cookies and candy, original fancy soaps in many shapes and scents (great Mother's Day gift ideas), lots of used books, and veggies, fruits and berries? How about a complimentary cup of coffee? The MapleCreek Farmer's Market has it! Stop in and see!
