Holiday Weather & Holiday Market!

This Saturday may be one of the nicest days of the summer at the Market. The weather is predicted to be sunny and pleasant (same for Sunday, and Monday too). Our farms have a huge summer harvest coming and our food artisans will also have great foods to offer. So clean up the grill, pull out your recipes and shop the Market -- it's going to be a great Labor Day weekend.

If shopping for Rosh Hashanah this week, our vendors have items that are traditionally sought for the holiday including brisket, chicken, honey, challah, apples, carrots, sweet potatoes and wine.

Lastly, are you freezing or canning? For a second week our farmers want to help you capture some of the season's best flavors with:

• a tomato sale (2-for-1 sale on select tomato varieties at Mead Orchards)
• bulk tomato offers (Dobler Farms, Little Seed Gardens, Wright's Farm - preorder in PFM-O)
• and a bulk peach offer (Wright's Farm - preorder in PFM-O)

See you at the Market!
