A NOTE ABOUT PEACHES – Organic peaches do not have any synthetic fungicide or petroleum-based wax to extend their naturally short shelf-life. We deliver them slightly firm, and they soften extremely quickly, so prepare to eat or process them within about two days of delivery.
Vendor of the Day
KEENA’S KAKE DESIGNS – All natural Sweet Snacks
Join us this Saturday to welcome a new vendor to our market and sample some delicious treats….KKD makes all natural sweet snacks that are free of any artificial additives and made with organic sugar and non-GMO ingredients.
Keena’s Kake Designs was born from a love of making delicious, custom baked goods for my family and friends at an affordable price. It also evolved from my desire to provide my family with high quality natural and organic foods; come to find out, it’s not always easy to find sweets that do not contain artificial colors, preservatives and other additives. So, Fudgeez and Blondeez will always be all-natural, non-GMO, and made with organic cacao! We’re a snack company with integrity: if I wouldn’t feed it to my family, I won’t feed it to yours!
Find Keena’s Kake Designs products in the Baked Goods section of the website.
