What's New....

Whole Hearted Bakery  will be have some cute Halloween cookies, Pumpkin Soup, AWESOME Potato Chowder, and Broccoli Quiche in addition to their regular fare.

Mountain View
Poultry
is now taking orders for pasture raised Thanksgiving turkeys.

The Gold Rush Rush is on at North Star Orchard!  Stake your claim to a share of this year's harvest of amazing Gold Rush apples and varietal Gold Rush apple cider.  Gold Rush are sugary-tart, super-crisp, and make for amazing eating as well as prize-winning pies and sauce.  To top it all off, they keep well, too...up to several months in the fridge.  Gold Rush varietal cider is great to freeze to have on hand for the holidays and during the winter, and it makes fantastic homebrewed hard cider, for those so inclined to do so... but it's available one week only by pre-order. Learn more about The Gold Rush Rush and stake your claim online at:  Gold Rush

Baues' Busy Bees have a lovely collection of fall and holiday beeswax candles along with their local honey.

Hello Market Shoppers,

Halloween is here!  We would love to see some costumes at the market this week (I wonder what some of the providers will be wearing!) To celebrate, we will be handing out healthy treats to the kids at the information area.

LuAnn Roth, will lead children in musical activities.  She teaches Kindermusik classes in Phoenixville, inspiring a love of music in children for life!

Also, of note, it is time to order turkeys from Mountainview Poultry and Gold Rush Apples from North Star.  Gold Rush apples store very well during the winter and they are only going to be available by preorder and picked up on Nov 14th and Nov 21st.
