COMMERCIAL STREET MARKET OPEN

Wednesday, April 18 2007 (10:45AM) | Posted by No one | Commercial Street

The C-Street Market Pavilion, 321 E. Commercial (the corner of Jefferson and Commercial Streets) is now open! This season promises to be the best one on Commercial Street yet, with products ranging from coffees to produce and baked goods to flowers and meats!

One special feature at the Commercial Street Market is cocoa bean shell mulch, from the cocoa hull remains produced during the chocolate making process at Askinosie Chocolate.

Cocoa hulls can be used as mulch for plants, feed for large farm animals or mixed and used as compost! Support the C-Street Market and purchase a bag of cocoa hull mulch!

The Market season will run for 27 weeks, April 28 through Oct 30, 2007 on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings.
