We ended October with the first freeze, but our farmers worked hard to protect crops as needed so we can continue to enjoy the bounty of this beautiful + delicious fall season.
Expect a market full of variety this Friday with 18 producers in the lineup! And please note that hours are shorter (3–5pm) starting this week, details below.
A few notes for 11/6:
- Canter Hill & Birchrun Hills both had unexpected events that kept them on the farm last week. Meats, eggs, and cheeses are back this week!
- There's still time to order your heritage Thanksgiving turkey from Canter Hill via email or in person. While they only have larger sizes left, consider it an opportunity to freeze the wonderful leftovers for easy winter soups, stews & casseroles!
- Deer Creek Malthouse is back, with 30% off on a 4-pack of their new "PA Pride" hazy pale ale after you order a turkey from Canter Hill!
- Please feel free to borrow one of the wagons at entry to carry your market haul! We just bring it back when done so we can sanitize the handle for the next customer.
See you Friday! 3–3:30pm for Seniors + others at-risk / 3:30–5pm for all
