The Wednesday Market has moved!
Good evening. We hope all is well with everyone throughout this Memorial Day weekend.
The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. Wednesday. Check the website for all of this week’s offerings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market
Now some exciting news: The Wednesday Market is now in its NEW location!
To get there, from our previous location, turn onto Adams Street (across the street from Zebulon First Baptist Church), drive past the old Zebulon Elementary School and Pike County Schools bus garage, and we are the next building on the left going toward the cemetery. Actually we are the ONLY house on the west side of the street facing Adams Street.
Customers coming from Griffin may want to avoid going all the way through the Courthouse Square by turning right onto Dunn Street (just past United Bank). At the end of Dunn Street, turn left, and the Market is on the right side of Adams Street. Look for a little yellow bungalow-style house in the pecan orchard.
We are looking forward to serving our customers from this new location. We have lots more space for products, customers, parking, and vendors!
Thank you to everyone who helped in preparing the new building and for those who volunteered their time moving everything. We couldn’t have done it without all of your generous help!
See you Wednesday at the Market on Adams Street.
Thanks,
Beverly

The end of the school year is nigh. It’s going to be quite a week full of special activities for my children, with parties, honors programs, and soccer tournaments. These endings are bittersweet. We celebrate the achievements and look forward to new opportunities and experiences, but look back fondly at the time spent with those special people who touched our lives this year.
I am deeply saddened at the passing of my friend Don Collins, who died on Thursday. There just aren’t enough positive adjectives to describe the loving, giving spirit of this man. A statesman and a gentleman he was! He worked tirelessly for many worthy causes in Pike County, and I had the privilege of serving alongside him for several years on the Zebulon Downtown Development Authority and the SlowExposures Photography show. Don, you will be greatly missed!
To our customers and farmers, as always, we thank you for supporting locally grown agriculture.
May all of you have a good week, and we’ll see you on Wednesday.
Thanks,
Beverly

Concord Streets is away from the Market again this week. Our niece’s wedding was yesterday, and having done all the catering, we have a multitude of equipment to clean up and put away. Then we are going to rest our dancing feet for a while – it was a great party! Furthermore, our sons Stephen and Charlie are out of school this week on Spring Break, so I am going to focus on spending some fun time with them this Wednesday.
Doesn’t it seem like it’s been raining for 40 days and 40 nights? Where is our rainbow? Stay safe out there today. We’re under tornado watches until 3 this afternoon.
Thank you for your support of The Wednesday Market and for choosing to buy locally.
Have a great week!

Concord Street Sweets is taking a bit of time away from The Wednesday Market for a family celebration. My niece, Jessica Lindsey, oldest daughter of my sister Sharon, is getting married on Saturday, April 18. Jessica is the first grandchild in our family to get married, and our whole family is involved in orchestrating the celebration.
I am catering the cocktail party and meal (Chicken Marsala for 150 people!). My sister Teresa is doing all of the bouquets, boutonnieres, decorations and centerpieces. Sharon, mother of the bride and a baker extraordinaire, is making the bride’s cake and groom’s cake, and is setting out a dessert buffet of the most spectacular confections. The bride and her attendants will be beautifully coiffed and their complexions perfected by Kimberly, our sister who is a master cosmetologist. Wedding memories will be preserved with videography by our brother Jeremy. And the rest of the family – well, we’re just trying not to go crazy through it all.
Needless to say, we have A LOT OF WORK to do this week! Here is a sweet poem/recipe, in honor of brides this wedding season.
A Good Wedding Cake
Author Unknown
4 lb. of love
1 lb. butter of youth
1/2 lb. of good looks
1 lb. sweet temper
1 lb. of blindness for faults
1 lb. of self forgetfulness
1 lb. of pounded wit
1 lb. of good humour
2 tablespoons of sweet argument
1 pint of rippling laughter
1 wine glass of common sense
1 oz. modesty
Put the love, good looks and sweet temper into a well furnished house. Beat the butter of youth to a cream, and mix well together with the blindness of faults. Stir the pounded wit and good humour into the sweet argument, and then add the rippling laughter and common sense. Work the whole together until everything is well mixed, and bake gently for ever.
Thank you for your support of locally grown agriculture and for choosing to purchase locally. We appreciate your patronage and look forward to seeing you Wednesday at The Market.

Concord Street Sweets is back! Thank you to our customers who were so understanding last week when we could not fill their orders. I am finally feeling so much better today!
Here’s hoping everyone has a happy Sunday, albeit you’ll probably be spending it indoors. Maybe you have a good book to read, or a pot of soup to simmer, or if you’re like me, a mountain of laundry to tackle. Let us look forward to sunnier days.
