Please join us Saturday morning to welcome a new vendor to CFM: Mill Gap Farm. Mill Gap, located in Tiger, GA, has practiced chemical free, sustainable farming methods for twelve years. Chuck and Amy Mashburn will be bringing peanuts, garlic, potatoes, and squash, plus home baked breads (including cardamom morning rolls).
