Other varieties this week will include the last of the Sugar Snap and those awesome antiques, Golden Russet! Asian pears are still in abundance, as are fall veggies such as brassicas and carrots.

The big, breaking news (and I know you've all been waiting for THIS) is that the great Gold Rush Rush of 2012 has begun! You can now stake your claim for a share of this year's crop of Gold Rush. We'll be delivering the Gold during the middle two weeks of November, and varietal cider will arrive on Saturday the 17th. Stake your claim here.

What's all the fuss about Gold Rush, you ask? If you don't know, just ask anyone shopping from us this coming Saturday and you'll get the lowdown about the best apples on the planet. (and we'll give you more info here in an upcoming email, once we start picking them and have them available for sale at the market)

Hello Market Shoppers!

It looks like we will have a gorgeous fall day for tomorrow's market and you can pick up everything you need for great fall meals.  Apples abound and so do fall vegetables.  Forks Farm will join us with their pasture raised beef and WILD for Salmon will have their wild caught salmon.

Fall is a great time for planting perennials and Sugarbush Nursery will be bringing a selection of native plants to choose from.

Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching and it is not too early to order your pasture raised turkey from Mountain View Farm. 

Don't forget the the market is open every weekend until Christmas but with shorter hours.  Country Time Farm is already taking orders for Christmas Hams.

See you at the Market!
