DAYTON--Patricia Sacha, Blue Mountain Station Marketing Manager has announced new plans for daily lunches at the market.

"Our goal is to have soup, salad and sandwiches, and there may be occasional special items," said Sacha. "We'll use as much local ingredients as we can."

Mary's Candy's and Catering had been providing lunches to the market, but they have closed their business. A new group of volunteers will be working out of the commercial kitchen at BMS to provide lunches during the days the market is open, Sacha said.

Mary's co-owner Erin Murphy said she and her husband, Nathaniel, are taking a few years off from the food industry to finish college degrees – hers in education and his in business marketing.

While the retail and wholesale portion of their business is closing, Mary's Candy is still available for purchase at the Blue Mountain Station market, Murphy said.

The market at the Blue Mountain Station is open on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
