Laughing in the Face of Winter
|
Although Winter doesn't seem to want to give up, here at the Easton Market District office we're busy planning for the Spring season and our return to Centre Square. We've approved six spectacular new vendors, and this past Tuesday they joined us for an orientation meeting. They're all excited to meet you and be part of America's oldest, continuous market! Who are they? Well... you'll have to wait a few more weeks to find out.
In the meantime, join us at the Winter Market for your bi-monthly fix of fresh and local. Tomorrow's forecast calls for temps in the forties and plenty of sunshine.

Portch Tea in the News...
"On a pretty family farm in Vera Cruz outside Emmaus, there’s some magical alchemy happening.
Inside a little building featuring a sign that reads “PorTch Tea,” you quickly notice rows of jars containing a funky, filmy liquid. Around the room, you’ll see other jars of tea leaves, herbs and more — all of which will come together to form one of the trendiest drinks around."
