Online Market is OPEN for June 3rd pick up!

Hey All!

The Online Market is open for ordering Wednesdays at 8 PM until Mondays at 8 PM. Order pick up is on Wednesday from 4:00-6:00

The In-Person Market is open from 9 AM until 1 PM Fridays from May to October.

Vegetables at the market this week:

Green onions

Hazelnuts

...and more!

IMPORTANT: Online market takes a summer vacation

Thanks to everyone who has used the Online Market since it’s founding in 2013. It’s a busy time for our vendors and many have decided to only offer products at the regular market. As a result, the number of items offered online has declined. Since most of our customers also shop in person on Friday, we will be pausing the Online Market for the summer. The last day to order will be June 1st with the last pick up on June 3rd. We’ll restart when the in-person Market ends in mid October. Great news! When we open in October, the new cottage law regulations will be in effect and we can return to selling “cottage law products” - baked and canned goods - ONLINE which should increase Online offerings.

For our final online market of the summer we are raffling off 10+ lbs of beef short ribs. Anyone that orders this week will be entered. The winner will receive their prize when they pick up their weekly order. If you're wondering what to do with beef ribs, check out this RECIPE
