Daffodils!?

Does anyone else have little daffodils peeking through the soil at their house? Even though Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter, those daffodils have their own spring agenda and Butcher’s Market is on board! We have potted mini daffodils for just $2.99 each and flowering primroses for $1.99. They are the prettiest reminders that spring is just around the corner...

Meanwhile, soups for this week are:
Ham Pot Pie
Chicken Noodle
Potato, and
Ham & Green Bean

It seems that February has something for everyone: Daffodils, Valentine’s Day, the Super Bowl. This is a month that keeps you busy, but rest assured that the ladies at Butcher’s have your baked good bases covered. Cakes and Valentine Sandtart cookies are being made with love as we speak. And, as always, when you stop by the Market, you’ll find our great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables at great prices.

Hey, speaking of football, whether you’re hosting the Super Bowl Party at your house or going someplace else to watch, be sure to stop by the market to sample some of our dips. (We have chips, too!)

See you this weekend!
