Sweet Summer!

Our season is at a crossroads at the Pleasantville Farmers Market. Treats like sugar sweet peaches, plums, melons and corn are available. It's true that the first glimpse of fall is arriving in early varieties of apples (Honeycrisp, Zestar and Gingergold). But summer remains the star of the show this week with crops like eggplants, peppers and tomatoes peaking, and Mead Orchards is offering a "buy one quart/get one free" SALE on yellow peaches this week! Savor this most delicious season by shopping the Market on Saturday.
