Jenna Mattes 10/16/2016 7:46 PMYesterday I went to a farmers' market! It was the first time I've ever been to one. The sellers were very friendly and it was interesting to see all the different products that were offered. My friends and I got donuts as well as some apples. I would definitely return and recommend that all of you visit it too!-
Jennifer Bechtel 10/17/2016 2:20 PMMmmm Farmer's Market donuts are the BEST.
