This week we will have the following items for online purchase: * Pature-raised all-natural Beef * Free-range brown eggs * Jams/jellies/pickles/etc * Fruit Juice/Cider * Bread * Honey We were really hoping to have some fresh produce by now, but the cold, wet winter has delayed harvest for most farmers in the area. Never fear---strawberries, cabbage, and hothouse tomatoes should be ready in the next two weeks! We will, however, have a limited amount of fresh, local Asparagus as well as some potted Strawberry Plants for sale at the market. Its first-come-first-serve for these two items so come and pick up your order early! |
