Open Saturday 10am to 1pm

Lots of additional fresh goodies added to our list this week so you can plan your meals ahead!

Did you know that we work with about 5-7 local farms and two growers cooperatives each week? Farmers work so hard all year long and suddenly when faced with a great abundance they sometimes run out of time or avenues to sell their product. What a tragedy! It is especially challenging when local products have to compete against cheap imports at the grocery store. It's good for the environment, good for local economy and we get to nourish ourselves with the most nutritious food, when we source fresh and local instead of food that has traveled so far.

From our friend Pamela at Silver Rill Berries:
Cherries
Black currants
Red currants
(we are bringing a small amt. of currants this week. If you'd like to order more for jam or jelly making please let us know)

From her son Andrew: (his crops are about to bolt with the heat so he has a lot to pick!)
Cauliflower & Broccoli
(do you need extra for pickling or lacto-ferments?)

Plus:
Flower bouquets (you can order ahead as a gift for yourself or someone else :)
mixed greens
carrots
beets
peas
beans
green onion
dill
zucchini
cucumbers
peppers
fresh garlic
melons
strawberries
blueberries
raspberries
tomatoes
...and more!

Thanks for supporting local agriculture!
