An Early Start to Summer
“We do not remember days, we remember moments.”
Tomorrow is June 1st!
As we wrap up May and head into the summer months, don’t forget to hydrate and use your sunscreen! Georgia gets hot and sunny, and we want you to be safe outdoors.

June kicks off a number of observances, but I wanted to highlight Alzhimer’s awareness this week. Chances are you know someone who has suffered. This disease affects so many! It is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of the cases. While this disease affects older people, it is not a normal part of aging. Alzhimer’s is what is known as a progressive disease, it will get worse over time. There is currently no cure for it, but there are a few medications that do help. “Today, there is a worldwide effort underway to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset and prevent it from developing.”
While this is a serious disease, you do not have to go the journey alone. The Alzheimer's Association has many national and local resources to utilize.
Help is available
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or another dementia, you are not alone. The Alzheimer's Association is the trusted resource for reliable information, education, referral and support to millions of people affected by the disease.

It’s a new month! So we have another vendor highlight!
“Sierra Smith with Cafe Heart Projects here I just wanted to give you a few sentences about me and my art;
Shortly after completing my AS Degree in Studio Art I have been using Cafe Heart Projects as a way for me to display my artwork and other creative projects I am working on. My main inspiration comes from mythology, fairy tales, and gothic literature which is why my work usually has a fairytale- esque or cute but scary look to it.”
You can find her at other vendor events around town as well! Stop by tomorrow and see what all she has!
I cannot thank you all enough for such a warm welcome to our newest vendor, Sweet Rain Vegan Bakery! She will be back this week along with Bon Bon Bakery, who was taking a much needed and deserved rest after all the graduation goodies she was cranking out. Marie’s Baked Goodies and Mrs. Shirley will be out as well with their wonderful cakes and cookies! Be sure to stop by and grab some of Marie’s pound cake or Mrs. Shirley’s Key Lime cake!
Loy, Kaneish, Mitchell, Mr. Porter, Ms Eva, and Amanda all have a wonderful selection of produce for us this week!
Kaneisha has watermelons, juices, and veggies aplenty. Loy has plums, peaches, cucumbers, watermelon, tomatoes, collards, onions, peppers, mangoes, and yellow meat melons. Mr. Porter has containers of greens and cabbages and strawberries, as well as other fresh fruits and vegetables already harvested. Mandy with Mandylandfun has some sunflowers and tomato starts and possibly herbs! Mitchell has buckwheat microgreens, alfalfa and clover sprouts, and sprouting jars to start your own microgreen garden! Ms. Eva is bringing boiled peanuts and herbs!
I love this recipe from Martha Stewart for its simplicity! It’s a fairly simple and quick little dessert that lets you celebrate plums that isn’t overly sweet!
