Hey Market Friends,
Summer veggies are slowing
down as our kale and other greens are planted and start to grow. Tomatoes in
particular are in decline as well as our sweet corn. Get it while it lasts...
Also Bame farms has been
mostly out of beef for almost a month but plans to be back next week (the
drought has been tough on their grass finished cows!). Two Pigs Farm can fill
in with a lot of your needs if you're looking for good, healthy pasture-raised antibiotic
free meat.
And a quick note here:
yesterday on Facebook, I mentioned UpsideDown Farms produces better in cooler
fall weather but it turns out they'll be gone this weekend. Sorry mushroom
fans!
Finally, don't forget we're open until December 19th! We have meat, eggs,
veggies, baked goods and more the whole year! And we hope to start welcoming
back our fall craft vendors soon!
Market Chef Sept. 19th
We had very well attended
market chef competitions last year but haven't had enough people pre-register
this year for the Cooperative Extension to come out and facilitate. We'd really
like to feature youth chefs for our event planned September 19th. PLEASE sign
up with your kid in advance if you and your child would like to participate!
