Vendor of the Month: Honey and Salt

Honey and Salt offers chai and boutique luxury desserts including their decadent cookies (our favorite!). All of their products are made with high quality ingredients and never include dyes or seed oils. If you can't catch them at the market, you can order their goods directly from their site for pickup or delivery. We highly recommend stopping by their table at the market this weekend for a bit of indulgence!
