Online Market is OPEN for August 31 Pickup!


Hello everyone!

The last full month of Summer is already drawing to a close if you can believe it! Time to really take advantage of those late-season summer fruits and veggies and get canning (if that’s your thing). Otherwise, let our vendors do all that work for you and pick up your pickles, jams, jellies and salsas through the online market this week. Throw in a few loaves of baked-to-order bread and a dozen farm-fresh eggs to round out your grocery list.

Don’t forget to swing through the Market this Friday and check out Fiber Day to celebrate our farmers and fiber artists as they show off their wares just in time for the season to start growing cooler. Shop for knits, enjoy demonstrations and meet your local artisans face to face!
