Thanks VERY much to everyone who donated during our National Farmers Week fund drive! With the support of generous donors who offered a match, we raised $2259. We really appreciate your support.
Apple day is coming up on Friday September 22. Enter the Traditional Apple pie contest and win $100. It’s all about the apples and the crust. You can add spices, but nothing fancy here. Bring your entry to the Market by 10 am. Judging starts at 10:30 and we’ll sell slices of pie as a fundraiser for the Market after judging. We’ll also have our annual cider fundraiser. Here’s your chance to support the market and enjoy delicious cider.
Believe it or not, there are only 5 Markets left. Now is a great time to get acquainted with our new Online Market and you’ll be set up to shop when the outdoor Market closes for the season! Here’s the link
