We have several new vendors who joined us last season.
They include: 

Flower and plant vendor Diane Selly of Earthworks Gardens in St. Peter; produce vendor and jewelry makers Kelly Firkins & Pavel Buda of DelaBlu Farm in Delavan; Warren Reise, who makes Maple Syrup at his Eagle Lake farm; and baker exceptionale Holly Cervantes, proprietor along with her husband, Daniel, of The Cookie Jar. 

Also this year, three of our vendors are offering products that carry the distinction of being Certified Naturally Grown. These naturally-grown or produced products include: the soaps and bath salts created by Willow Creek Soap, owned by Anna and Dennis Taylor; the beef, pork, chicken and ducks raised at Thompson’s Painted Hill Farm, owned by Heidi and Chuck Thompson; and the flowers and plants raised by Earthworks Gardens, owned by Diane Selly.

Certified Naturally Grown is a designation on par with USDA’s Certified Organic labeling, yet tailored for small-scale, direct-market farmers using natural methods who cannot afford to meet the reporting requirements mandated by the Certified Organic program. When you see the Certified Naturally Grown stamp, be assured that natural production methods have been followed in the creation of this product.
