Today at the Rockford City Market, we are helping to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Rockford Peaches as part of a four-day State Bicentennial event from May 30 until June 3rd. The Rockford Peaches were made famous in the 1992 movie "A League of Their Own" and stars from the movie as well as original Peaches players will be at the market greeting people at the main stage. We are expecting a larger crowd than usual tonight and we hope you will also come out to celebrate these awesome ladies - the more the merrier!
We're also very excited to announce that starting next Wednesday, June 6th, C&C will be joining the Edgebrook Farmers Market. This is the longest running farmer's market in Rockford and it's held every Wednesday from 9am - 1pm from May through October in the parking lot of Edgebrook Shops at the intersection of N. Alpine and Highcrest. We're looking forward to making new friends there and getting to share our love of good bread with more folks. Our tent will be located next to Anderson Organics.
On the menu this weekend, we will be bringing JalapeΓ±o Cheddar loaves for one more round. Rosemary Olive Oil Semolina bread is our special for the week...this is one of our favorites because the entire bakery smells just heavenly from all the fresh rosemary whenever we make a batch of it. We will also have Country Brown, Baker & Brewer as well as Seeded Whole Wheat at all three markets this weekend.
Our booth may be moving around a bit up at the Downtown Beloit Farmer's Market weekly, so please check our Instagram or Facebook page on Saturday mornings for a location update.
