I don’t know about you, but fall is my favorite season of the year! Nothing beats a cool evening by the fire as we drink some hot apple cider and enjoy the company of our loved ones. Autumn also brings great seasonal vegetables that are packed with nutritional value and are delicious too!

Carroll Hospital Farmers Market Starts June 17
The annual Carroll Hospital Farmers Market returns Thursday next week to bring fresh produce and delicious treats for the community. A collection of local farmers and business owners will be attending the markets each week with a new selection of fresh merchandise, all harvested or prepared the day before.
