Just a word to let you know that Jack Finley of Finley Farms in Lipan, Texas, will have Texas-grown apples at his stall Saturday at the Coppell Farmers Market. I bought a killer watermelon from him about a month ago....
Big news from McKinney: The folks at Chestnut Square are in talks to add a farmers market at Adriatica on the west side of town. Bad news from J.T.Lemley: All that rain, which we needed, knocked out the local fall...
