We won't be attending the Clayton Farm and Community Market today due to possible thunderstorms at 9 am. The rest of the market should only be light rain.
Please make sure to go by after the thunder passes to support vendors who are out there. It will be light rain the rest of the market.

If you need our honey before next weekend in Clayton, check by Lee's Produce & Garden Center on Main Street for our pints or at the Station Clayton (beside the Clayton Police Station) for our 1-lb jars.

Come out early to Clayton Farm and Community Market (9-1 - until heat index reaches 100.) Policy is to close when heat index reaches 100. We suggest leaving dogs at home because the pavers at Horne Square can burn doggie feet (especially indoor dogs.)

We are also open in Four Oaks (in Air Conditioning) from 11 am to 3 pm.

We'll be at the Clayton Farm and Community Market from 9 am to 1 pm (or when the heat index reaches 100F.) This is done to hopefully prevent anyone (customer and vendor) from having heat stroke. Make sure to have plenty of hydration for this weather.
COME EARLY - 102 HEAT INDEX EXPECTED AT NOON.

Also, Four Oaks location is open from 11 am to 3 pm. It has A/C as long as it is working and we have power! The store in Four Oaks will be closed next weekend for Al to attend the annual NC State Beekeepers Association meeting in Winston Salem.

Come by either location for your free US Flag for Independence Day!
