This year we have it as our mission to hear more from a group that, up to this point, has been under-represented here on Let's Get Fresh; the loyal BFM customers. The following are just a few samples of the feedback we've received via the Market Facebook page since opening day. And later this summer we'll have a special blog post from one of the Market's oldest and most loyal customers and his family. If you recognize your quote here come by the Market Info tent this Sunday and prove it and receive a token of our appreciation.

 

Speaking of contests I want to give a shout-out to Deb Sambol who correctly named all the rock and roll references in my last post. Actually, she found a few I didn't even realize I had put in there! Deb received a $20 Market gift certificate for her effort. Thanks, Deb!
