Farmers' Markets Popularity Increasing

The Frederick News Post reports on the increasing attendance at Frederick County farm markets. Many thanks to Jerry for managing and promoting ours in Brunswick!

"Jerry Cayford attributes the markets' popularity to a consciousness being raised about the importance of helping the local economy and supporting agriculture.

A member of the board of directors of Brunswick Main Street, Cayford has lent a hand in the reorganization of that city's farmers market.

Johnson's "flour" is a mix of rice, potato starch and tapioca flours. For artisan breads she may use brown rice flour or millet. She uses xanthan gum or guar gum as a gluten substitute. Gluten is what makes cakes and breads light and airy."
