Editor's note: A previous version of this article on Monday stated that Ferris Acres Creamery would be selling ice cream at the Monroe Farmers Market, however, their Marketing Manager said on Tuesday that "due to their overwhelming popularity on Friday nights, they had to pull out of our market at the last minute. We have since updated our blog posting (http://www.monroefarmersmarket.org/blog/farmers-market-returns-for-9th-season) with corrected information." Patch has edited the article to reflect the change as well.
