Online Market CLOSES tonight at 8 PM!


Hello all!

Reminder to get your orders in before the Online Market closes at 8 tonight!

We are officially welcoming Fall this week at the Farmer’s Market, if you can believe it. The leaves are changing where I am in Whitetop, the apples are literally everywhere and we are celebrating that with the revival of the Apple Festival this Friday from 9 to 1 at the Market. Come hang out with us while we press cider and taste test Apple Desserts to decide who is the Apple Master this year.

If you want to throw your favorite apple dessert into the ring, all entries must be in by 10 am, on a labeled plate. Judging happens at 10:30. First prize is $100, Second prize is $30 and third is $20. Then everyone will get a chance to purchase a piece of their favorite (or three) as a Market Fundraiser!

We hope to see y’all there.
