Hi Columbia Heights Neighbors:

NEWS: Chez Hareg has rejoined the market after a year's sabbatical with her
wonderful French and French Vegan baked goods. WE have really missed her since
she moved her bakery from Shaw!

The market is back this Saturday 9-1 And if you come really early, you can
even get some of Garner's early Strawberries: Sweet Charlies. The early

Lady and Braeburn Aples, Red Raspberry and Apple jam

And Lois has her pumpkin whoopie pies as well as pecan, oatmeal and
