Returning for the 2012 Powers Festival are two art-ists who will have attended the festival every year since it started in 1971.
“This will be their 42nd year with us and we are so happy to feature them for this year’s festival,” said Powers Pavilion Executive Director Holly Hammonds.
Charles Adams of Adams Glass Studio in Troy, Ala., will be displaying his creative and
unique glass pieces for the 42nd year at Powers Festival 2012. Charles owns and oper-ates Adams Glass Studio, which has evolved from a small glass hobby shop to a multifaceted stained glass stu-dio that specializes in ecclesi-astical windows.
The Adams Stained Glass Studio features a unique col-lection of stained glass works including windows, Tiffany-style lamps, doors, clocks, kaleidoscopes, sun catch-ers, and angels, which have become collector’s items and
are in great demand. He will display many stained glass doors , windows, and sun catchers at this year’s festival.
The success the studio has enjoyed over the years has served as a catalyst to greater undertakings. Adams, whose
roots are in the rural South, has recently turned much of his artistic effort to fulfill-ing a longtime goal of mak-ing stained glass windows available to every small, rural church in the South that wants them.
The simplistic beauty of these churches can often be enhanced by the addition of stained glass windows, which are designed especially for each particular church. Many of these churches would like to have stained glass win-dows but have previously been
unable to find a studio to come to the church and work direct-ly with the committee.
Not only does Adams’ stu-dio design, execute and install church windows, but it also creates windows and doors for businesses and homes. Adams has won numerous awards for his work and is in great demand as a glass workshop instructor. His glass creations can be found all across the United States, but also can be found this holiday weekend at

This Labor Day weekend 2012, Powers Festival invites you to come home to the crafts and traditions of the past blended with the creative expression of today’s artisans and crafters.
At the 42nd edit ion of Powers Festival the organizers are excited to have many new artists and crafters.
“About 50 percent of our artists are new to Powers Festival,” said Powers Pavilion Executive Director Holly Hammonds. “There will be tons of unique and creative artworks that will be avail-able to see and even purchase at the 2012 Powers Festival,” she said.
Sharon Maudsley, owner of Southern Cross Designs, will be exhibiting at Powers this year. After moving to Mobile, Ala., Maudsley began working at a small restaurant. There she met Tress Turner, who showed her the best way to make a cross.
After coming up with her own style of creating these crosses, Maudsley began to get more involved in the cre-ative process. Maudsley col-lects wood and driftwood
from around the United States to create these one-of-a-kind crosses. She also makes a basic patterned cross in which she uses precut cedar timbers. Her products are unique and
are often custom designed for individuals.
The centerpieces of these crosses are often personal to an individual, such as a passed loved one’s keys, jewelry, or even old furniture hardware
from a previous home.These crosses are definite-
ly something to check out at Powers Festival, Hammonds said. Maudsley also makes hand-drawn art, with each one consisting of its own unique patterns.
Mike Jenkins with Took 4 Granite is also a new exhibitor this year.
J e n k i n s w a s b o r n i n Douglasville, Ga., and has made Coweta County his home since 1996. He owns Took 4 Granite in LaGrange, Ga., and has more than 27 years of experience in custom-izing, fabricating, and install-ing natural stone.
Jenkins says that he has a passion for rock, and every-where he goes he seems to find himself bending down to pick up a rock, shell, pebble, etc. With this love of granite and stone work, he has developed a passion for sculpting.
The medium he uses is mar-ble, granite, limestone, and other natural stones. The carv-ing is done with wet diamond hand tooling, and all polishes are performed wet with natu-ral polishing agents. All art is inspired by life events or expe-riences using the characteris-tics of stone to inspire.
Powers Festival welcomes many new artists for 3-day weekend

What began as Powers’ Crossroads Country Fair and Art Festival — now known as Powers Festival — was formed in 1971 by local Coweta and well-known artist Tom Powers.
The site of the festival was on the beautiful grounds of the
Powers fa m-ily plantation of f H ig hway 34 in western C o w e t a a n d eastern Heard counties. Exhibitors were set up a long winding paths u nder sh ady trees. The fes-tival was a huge success from its beginning and involved all the commu-nities of Heard a n d C o w e t a counties.
Tom Powers operated the f e s t i v a l f o r three-and-a- half years with much coopera-
tion and assistance of these communities and their civic and church organizations. For various reasons, health and otherwise, Powers had to give up the operation of the festival, and in the middle of that last year the festival was under the supervision of the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce.
In 1975, Coweta Festivals Inc. was formed as an umbrella organization of six non-profit civic groups: Newnan-Coweta Ch a mber of Com merce , the Newna n- Coweta A r t Association, Newnan-Coweta Jaycees, Pilot Club of Newnan, the Newnan Coweta Chapter of Professional Secretaries International (later changed to International Association of Administrative Professionals) and the 4-H Boys and Girls of Coweta County.
These non-profit organiza-tions purchased the festival site a few years later when the land became available.
The 86 acres still belongs to Coweta Festivals.
The annual festival has con-tinued to be a success. It has become well-known through-out the nation and has been selected several times by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of “The Top Twenty Events” for September.
More than one hundred tal-ented artists and craftsmen from across the nation gath-er each Labor Day weekend to display their works from Saturday through Monday.
The 42nd annual Powers Festival opens for Labor Day weekend 2012 with new exhib-itors and old favorites, new features, and a new manage-ment structure.
Among the highlights of the festival are the abundance of country cooking and festival food, 18 bands on four stages, an expanded children’s area, and many special exhibits such as blacksmithing and

Lucy Moore of Lucy’s Toys will also be attending this year’s Powers Festival for the 42nd year.
Moore started her craft in 1967. While still a school teach-er she started designing and sewing stuffed toys and pup-pets. What began as a hobby quickly became her business. Moore’s goal was to make quality handmade affordable toys, and she delivered. Over the years she has received awards from many of the best art and craft festivals across the nation for her quality and creativity.
Though she started with children in mind, Moore’s blankets have captured the love of generations of fami-lies. She made the first blan-ket for her husband out of the soft man-made fur in 1968. Now, more than 40 years later, that blanket is still on his bed. It has been washed count-

Charles Adams of Adam’s Glass Studio in Troy, Ala., will be dis-playing his creative and unique glass pieces for the 42nd year at Powers Festival 2012.
Jenkins is inspired by the stone’s uniqueness and beau-ty and using its natural char-acteristics to give inspiration to form. All of the pieces are handmade. Mike sees more than just a countertop… he envisions a piece of art. He will be located in the Country Store building.
A l s o b e i n g we lc o m e d this year are Rob and Lizeth Buff ington with Seeds not Beads. They started this vision
nine years ago based on the fashion designs of Lizeth. Lizeth Castaneda had stud-ied fashion design for only three semesters when she was asked to collaborate on a com-plete collection by a famous Colombian designer, Giovanni Lopez. Her artistic designs were acclaimed by the nation-al media and, by the time she finished her education, she had an established clientele for her designs.
During this time period, Lizeth developed an allergy to synthetic fabric and mate-rials. Rather than abandon-ing her field, she shifted her
focus to the design of clothing and accessories, which are as natural and chemical-free as possible.
Her designs have evolved into more natural and innova-tive creations.
The couple handcraft all of their products using materi-als such as orange peel, cof-fee beans, cantaloupe seeds, dried cucumber seeds, as well as other natural and organic materials.
These materials produce the most fantastic, original, and unique accessories one could imagine.

The 42nd annual Powers Festival will include many exhibitors and artists demon-strating their creative talents and showcasing their works of art.
Visitors will be sure to enjoy the talent that is shared by these artists and craftspeople.
Also, there will be a black-smith demonstration. Marvin Gardner has been blacksmith-ing for more than 35 years, first as a hobby and later as a profession.
Over the years, Gardner has enjoyed creating many black-smith art pieces, including an Eagle with an 18-foot wing span as a memorial for 9/11 victims, and a memorial cross with more than 300 different leaves and f lowers sculpted into it. Through the years he has had the opportunity to create many custom utilitar-ian pieces, including stair rail-ings, table bases, chandeliers and more.
Recently, Gardner and his wife decided to redirect their focus to something they both really enjoy, which is black-smith demonstrations. Marvin has been the blacksmith in the Primitive Skills Section of the Ossahatchee Indian Pow Wow for eight years. This experi-ence has been the highlight of his year and has encouraged him and his wife to change their focus from production to demonstration. What they enjoy most is the interaction with the audience and with the young people who become their apprentice for about 10 minutes.
“During the demonstration, my apprentice and I transform a tiny piece of quarter-inch rod into a hand-wrought, min-iature horseshoe. This horse-
shoe can be purchased as a key chain for $5. The horseshoe is only $5, but the look on their faces as they walk away with a ‘one-of-a-kind’ souvenir that they helped create is price-less,” he said.
T hey a re a l so en la rg-ing their territory to include schools and churches, to pro-vide a “field trip experience” for people without the cost and time involved with group trav-el since they take the mobile blacksmith shop to them.
Powers Festival 2012 will also include chair seat weav-ing — Richard Hall returns for the 42nd annual festival as a demonstrator.
Hall grew up in South Fulton County and still resides in Chattahoochee Hills Country.
Powers artisans will be demonstrating their skillsFrom STAFF REPORTS [email protected]
He learned the craft of chair caning at John C. Campbell Folk School, near Murphy, N.C . , a f ter ret i r ing from Fayette County School System in 1999. He f irst attended Campbell Folk School as a stu-dent, but now does so as an instructor. He teaches three or four times a year, instructing the art of chair seat weaving. His classes cover all styles of caning.
His first project, an 1800s Brumby jumbo rocker, start-ed his hobby of restoration of antique and vintage chairs, stools and benches.
He wil l be demonstrat-ing the old craft of lace can-ing chairs, named French,
or 7-step style, as well as the more conventional versions of caning, used for porch rockers and other caned furniture.
Powers Festival also wel-comes back Ralph and Dan Donaldson, a father-and-son partnership better known as The Broom Brothers. Their trade name was originally intended as a takeoff on The Blues Brothers , complete with hats, shades and overalls (instead of black suits). Dan likes to justify their use of the term “brothers” to describe themselves by saying that Ralph is his uncle’s brother, and he’s Ralph’s (other) son’s brother.
A few years ago, Ralph was
inspired by an RFD-TV seg-ment on Kentucky broom maker Richard Henson. He and Dan planted their first crop of broomcorn that spring with moderate success. Six months later, both travelled to the North Carolina Mountains to study broom making with Marlow Gates at the John C. Campbell Folk School.
Ralph, a non-profit adminis-trator, and Dan, an investigator by trade, discovered that they both harbored a hidden apti-tude for the craft. They began creating unique handmade brooms and offering them for sale at arts and crafts festivals around Georgia and neigh-boring states the next spring,
and they haven’t slowed down since.
While Ralph’s brooms and Dan’s brooms are all recog-nizable as having been influ-enced by the Gates style, they can usually be distinguished from one another by style and materials.
Ralph ties all the whisks and straw brooms, and all his brooms strongly reflect a tra-ditional approach, though he also enjoys finding and using novelty handles. Dan’s brooms, sometimes nearly indistin-guishable from his father’s, often veer further toward the experimental, artistic or just plain weird.
Demonstrating his craf t at Powers Festival 2012 will be Marvin Gardner. He has been blacksmithing for more than 35 years, first as a hobby and later as a profession.

Earlier this year, Coweta Festivals, which is the umbrella organization for the five local non-profits that own the Powers Festival property, received a Special Events Use Permit from Coweta County.
This Special Events Use Permit allows the property to be used for multiple events during the year.
After receiving this permit, the Coweta Festivals Board of Directors decided to enlist the help of Xcessive Sound Inc., an event management company, to organize and produce multiple events a year.
Proceeds from ticket sales at Powers Festival will go back to these five local non-profits each year. This will still hold true for this year’s Powers Festival, as well as with the many other events held on the property, said Mark Turnham, president of Powers Pavilion, the new name for the property under the new marketing arrangement.
“We will also be supporting other charitable organizations such as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Coweta County’s Special Education Program, as well as the Coweta County Fire Department,” said Holly Hammonds, who had worked in past years with the festival and is executive direc-tor of Powers Pavilion.
There are also many non-profit organizations that partici-pate in Powers Festival each year to help support and share information about their cause, such as the Newnan-Coweta Historical Society, Friends of Chattahoochee Bend State Park, and several local churches, they note.
Coweta Festivals and Xcessive Sound have made it part of their charter to give back to charities and the community as much as possible, said Turnham.
The five local non-profits that make up Coweta Festivals include the Newnan Coweta Jaycees, the Pilot Club of Newnan, 4-H Clubs of Coweta County, the Newnan-Coweta Art Association, and the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce.
These five non-profits help give back and support the community year-round with money raised from ticket sales at Powers Festival.
Having multiple events on the property each year ensures that these non-profits as well as other charitable organi-zations will benefit more than they ever have before, said Powers Pavilion representatives.

Carol meets Tarra
Carol Buckley is the co-founder of the
Elephant Sanctuary*. Her dream of a
sanctuary began in 1974 when she met
an unusual friend, a baby elephant. The
baby’s name was Fluffie, but Carol later
changed it to Tarra (TAR-rah).
*A sanctuary is a safe place.
When Carol was a child, she always
brought animals home. Her family had a
large backyard that became like a little
farmyard. There were rabbits, chickens,
ducks, guinea pigs, dogs, cats and other
animals.Carol went to college to learn how to
care for animals in a zoo or circus. She met
Tarra when the elephant was walking
down Carol’s street with her owner, Bob.
Bob had bought the Asian elephant to
be a mascot for his tire store. (People
would probably not be able to get a
permit to keep an elephant today.) Carol
was delighted when Bob said she could
help care for the little elephant. Finally,
he allowed Carol to buy her. Carol and
Tarra began a new life together.Carol studied while keeping Tarra
company at the tire store where Tarra
lived. Carol began taking Tarra home
each night so the elephant wouldn’t be
lonely. Bob kept Tarra in a truck at night.
Carol drove the truck to her country
house each evening and parked it on her
front lawn near a big window. That way,
Tarra and Carol could see each other all

A new life
Carol and Tarra started performing
together at an amusement park circus.
Carol taught Tarra to hold a stick and
play an instrument called a xylophone.
Then Tarra learned how to play a drum,
a bell, a whistle and a harmonica.
Kids were
amazed that
Tarra could pick
up a little
harmonica with
her big trunk.
Asian elephants
have a kind of
finger at the end
of their trunks. (African elephants have
two.) Elephants can pick up small
objects with these
“fingers.” They can
also lift whole trees
with their strong
trunks. They have
more than 100,000
muscles in their
trunks.Carol and Tarra later went on the
road with their show. Tarra added roller
skating to the act.
Barbara arrives
A year after Tarra moved to the
sanctuary, they brought a second
elephant, Barbara, to the sanctuary.
Barbara had been in circuses
throughout her life. When she came to
the sanctuary, she weighed about 2,000
pounds less than she should have.
Elephants must chew to wear down
their teeth. New teeth form even if the
old ones are still there. Barbara hadn’t
been fed enough for the food to wear
down her teeth. As a result, she had too
many teeth and had trouble eating. Her
teeth were fixed at the sanctuary. She
died after five years there.
Travels With Carol and Tarra
Building a sanctuary
Tarra and Carol lived at an animal
park in Canada for a while. There they
met Scott Blais, an elephant keeper at
the park. Tarra was unhappy there, and
Carol and Scott dreamed of building a
good home for elephants.
They bought 110 acres of land in
Hohenwald, Tenn., in 1995. The
sanctuary now covers 2,700 acres and is
the largest natural-habitat refuge for
elephants in America. There, elephants
can roam as they do in Africa and Asia.
There is enough room at the sanctuary
to keep 100 elephants.

Carol and Scott help care
for the elephants at the
Elephant Sanctuary. There
are now 17 elephants there.
The elephants spend their
days walking through the
grounds, eating and
enjoying each other’s
company. They know where
their favorite plants are. For
example, Tarra loves to pick
ripe blackberries.
Tarra snags a berry with
her “finger.”

A better life
In circuses, elephants are often forced
to be with elephants they would not be
with in the wild. This creates stress for
them. For example, males and females
do not live together in the wild. Asian
and African elephants do not mix.
At the sanctuary, elephants have
enough room to move about. They can
be with elephants they like.
Two species
African and Asian elephants are two
different species, or
types, of animals.
African elephants have
much bigger ears and
are more wrinkled.
Both
male and female
African elephants
grow tusks. Among
Asian elephants, only
males have tusks.
Tarra and Carol today
Carol travels around the country
educating the public about the needs of
captive elephants and the crisis facing
elephants in the wild.
The sanctuary
is supported by
people and
organizations
that give money
and by earnings
from Carol’s
books. Carol has
written two
books for kids
about the
Elephant
Sanctuary.
She and other sanctuary workers keep
informed about the other 600 elephants
in circuses and zoos in America, ready
to rescue as many as they can if the
elephants are not treated right.
Fun elephant facts
• Elephants can’t see directly below
themselves, so they use their trunks and
feet to “see” what’s right next to them.
• They use their sensitive trunks to
smell, taste and touch. Elephants can
smell ripening fruit and grab it with
their trunks.
• Elephants control their body
temperature by flapping their ears. This
cools blood in huge veins in the back of
their ears. That cooled blood
flows through their whole
body. No other animal
cools itself this way.
Keeping Elephants SafeElephants in danger
People have
killed or captured
so many elephants,
or destroyed so
much of their
habitat, that they
are in danger of extinction.
Experts say so many Asian elephants
have already been killed that their
species will probably not survive in the
wild. In Africa, so much of elephants’
habitat has been cut down that they are
in danger also.
How kids can help
The most important thing we can do
to help elephants is to help protect the
environment. Walk or ride a bike when
you can instead of asking for a ride.
Turn off electronic equipment when you
aren’t using it.
Don’t buy food made with palm oil. In
elephant habitats, people often burn or
cut down trees and replant palm trees,
so that they can harvest the palm oil.
Palm trees do not provide enough
nutrition for the elephants.
Betty Debnam - Founding Editor and Editor at Large Lisa Tarry - Managing Editor Lucy Lien - Associate Editor Wendy Daley - Artist
Elephants need a lot of space to roam. In
the wild, elephants walk 30 to 50 miles every
day searching for food and water. Walking
helps keep them healthy.
Minnie swims at the Elephant Sanctuary.
Elephants love water and are good
swimmers. They make themselves buoyant,
or able to float, by swallowing air. They use
their trunks as snorkels to get air from
above the surface of the water.

Height: 6-3 Birthdate: 8-30-1978
Weight: 190 Hometown: Benton, Ark.
If Major League Baseball gave out post-season awards, Cliff Lee
would be a viable candidate for Comeback Player of the Year.
After suffering an injury in 2007 and posting a puny 5-8
pitching record, the Cleveland Indians lefty has ascended to all-
star status. In his first 16 decisions this year, Lee went 14-2 and
struck out 125 batters in 146.2 innings. His previous best year was in 2005,
when he was 18-5.
Now in his seventh and best big-league season, Lee also was chosen for the
American League All-Star team.
Lee, who played at Meridian (Miss.) Community College and the University of
Arkansas, also does a lot off the mound.
He takes an active role in several community projects. In 2006, Cliff and his
wife, Kristen, were honorary chairs of a fundraiser for cancer research and the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a project especially close to their hearts. The
Lees’ son, Jaxon, has survived leukemia.

ENTERTAINMENT
chair caning.New features th is year
include Carnival Corner, with carnival rides for older chil-dren, and an “extreme” area with bungee jump activities.
There will be four stages with more than 20 bands per-forming throughout the festi-val. The area around the main stage has been reconfigured to make it more user-friendly and enjoyable, with tents for shade while audience members enjoy some of the festival food.
Now that Coweta Festivals has received a Special Events Use Permit from Coweta County, it will allow the land to be used for more events throughout the year.
“Powers Pavilion is cur-rently expanding to bring more festivals, concerts, and events throughout the year, which will allow us to put more money back into the community and to charita-ble organizations,” according
to Executive Director Holly Hammonds. “Powers Festival will continue its 42-year-old legacy along with additional expansion enabling us to bring our visitors the very best out-door events and entertainment in West Georgia.”
Coweta Festivals has con-tracted with Xcessive Sound, which functions as a manage-ment company and is coordi-nating the festival — as well as other events planned for the festival property, now known as Powers Pavilion. Ma rk Turn ha m is presi-dent of Xcessive Sound, and had set up sound systems for the festival in earlier years. Working with Turnham and Hammonds on sponsorships for Powers Pavilion events is Stewart Cowan.
The members of the Coweta Festivals organizations won’t be the busy worker bees run-ning the Powers Festival this year.
Operations will still be done by volunteers, just different ones. Powers Pavilion has worked with other organiza-tions, and their members will be helping to run things; large
donations will then be made to the organizations, Turnham said.
Powers Festival “has always been charity driven,” he said. “We want to expand the chari-ties. It’s one of the things we have in our company charter,” to benefit more than just the owners of the property.
“We’re paying the same as if we had to pay someone,” Turnham said, but because the workers are volunteers with organizations, “the money is going for a good cause instead of to individuals.”
Powers Pavilion has des-ignated the long-time festi-val grounds as the “Festival Village,” and is adding the large parking area “Outdoor 54” — a name taken for the 54-acre field — for future con-certs and events.
Already on the schedule for the near future is an October/ Halloween event – Zombie Apocalypse — which will fea-ture a trail of scary scenes and activities in the Festival Village section of the property. Winter Wonderland is sched-uled in December.
historyContinued from page 1B
Festival has evolved over last 42 years in Coweta
It has become a tradition that local Boy Scouts assist Powers Festival each year, and with their service earn badges.
Package assistance is one of the favorite services among attendees.
The Boy Scouts will assist by taking items (and the attendees) to their car for a small donation.
They also have refresh-ment booths to earn some money for the club, and they provide a much needed ice service to the food vendors at Powers Festival.
“Powers Pavilion is excit-ed to continue this tradition of working with Boy Scout Troop 45,” said Executive Director Holly Hammonds. “They are such wonder-ful young people who pro-vide many great services the weekend of the festi-val. Community involve-ment and helping to shape the young people of today is something Powers Pavilion strives to be a part of. Powers Pavilion thanks the Boy Scouts for all that they have done in the past and the great service they will provide in the future.”

One of the most important decisions at Powers Festival is what food to eat.
That decision is not easy, so you might use this Powers maxim to assist you: just because you had four Cokes, two funnel cakes, a bloom-ing onion, BBQ, and some ice cream, there is no reason to deny yourself that deep-fried Oreo.
The festival’s food vendors offer a wide variety of delec-table goodies. Most have been part of Powers Festival for so long they have their specialty down to an art.
Powers boasts one of the most varied assortments of food seen at a festival, and this year will be even better, say organizers.
Powers Festival started allowing commercial food vendors to participate in 2010, and will continue to bring in unique and different types of food for each event held at the Powers Pavilion property.
Among food vendors for this Labor Day weekend Powers Fest iva l , to name a few, Hillbilly Café will be offer-ing fish, chicken, or shrimp baskets; Redneck Gourmet of Newnan will be there selling their fried green tomatoes and chicken balls. There will also be Greek gyros, Thai cuisine,
Jamaican food, noodles, baked potatoes, steak sandwiches, and others that will be offered by the many food booths at Powers Festival this year.
Not to worry, the Powers vendors representing church-es, clubs and civic organiza-tions from the Newnan area will still be there as well. Mt. Carmel United Methodist Church will offer vegetable plates with black-eyed peas, corn on the cob, potatoes, tomatoes, sautéed onions, and corn bread.
The Wi-Band Civic Club will provide an assortment of sweet treats such as fried pies, cookies, brownies, Rice Krispies treats, cakes, baked pies, and cheese straws.
The Optimist Club of Senoia will be serving breakfast this year, as well as their fried pickles, hot dogs, and deep- fried Oreos.
These are just a few of the nonprofit organizations that participate with Powers Festival.
By suppor t i n g Powers Festival, you are also support-ing all these nonprofit groups and organizations.
New this year, Powers will be setting up tents with tables and chairs next to the stage area to provide shade for visi-tors while they eat.
... and the food is good, tooFrom STAFF REPORTS [email protected]
Photo by Jeffrey Leo, Times-HeraldMany of the long-time food vendors are returning for the 42nd annual Powers Festival this Labor Day weekend 2012. Here, Joseph Story with Mt. Carmel United Methodist Church cooks onions for their famous vegetable plates at the 2011 festival.

This was a hit with the crowd last year, and Powers Festival is excited to have him back, said Executive Director Holly Hammonds.
“Keith will be located at the entrance/exit gate this 2012
Powers Festival, so don’t forget to stock up before you leave,” said Hammonds.
“Peaches, apples, canta-loupe, butter beans, butter peas, tomatoes, grapes, fruit juices and more… as fresh as you can get and ready for you to take home.”
