| Fall Is Abundant With Flavor! |
|
|
|
It's hard to believe October is here! Fall flavors are abundant, and it's a perfect time to shop with your local farmers and makers in the fresh, open air.
A few highlights for this week:
- Apples & cider are back this week! We all missed Troy last week, but he is back...with lots of variety!
- Medina Mushrooms will be at market every week now!
- Deer Creek Malthouse is out this week, returning on a bi-weekly schedule starting next. You can still order online for direct shipping!
- Thanksgiving Turkey orders are open with Canter Hill. Place your orders early to get the size you want!
Thank you for choosing to support local through all seasons!

We greatly appreciate our market community's continued cooperation with distancing as much as possible while shopping and wearing a mask. Our producers also appreciate your respect as you interact with them! Let's continue to work together to keep each other healthy as seasons change. Thank you so much!
