Atchison  Farmers’ Market

Fresh, Friendly, Local

Market E-Newsletter for Saturday, September 7, 2013

8 a.m. to 12 noon

September has come, but cannot decide if it is autumn or still summer.  The cool mornings with ground fog are beautiful.

The Atchison Art Association will be with us this Saturday.  Come by their booth, have breakfast, and enjoy their activity.  The September Market Bundle Giveaway will also take place this Saturday.

We will have one more Market Bundle Giveaway on the first Saturday of October.  Go by Lynn Hoffman’s stand to register.

Musicians are welcome to play at the Market.  Just call me (Betty Fischer) so I can advertise for you (913 709 5050).

• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup canola oil, divided
