Hello Market Shoppers!

Fall is in the air and this Saturday we will have an abundance of wonderful fall produce- apples, concord grapes, potatoes, kale, greens, winter squash and more!  Summer favorites like peppers and tomatoes are nearing their end, but you will still find them this week.  The cool nights are wonderful for cooking and this week we'll have salmon, grass-fed meats, mushrooms and local cheeses perfect for your favorite recipes.  Too busy to cook?  How about authentic and delicious pasta?  And for lunchboxes or quick snacks,  why not try healthful hummus, guacamole, or artisan nut butters?  Of course we have great breads to go with them. 

Joe Willson will perform on stage from 10am to 1pm so plan to sat a while to listen.

See you at the Market!

What's Fresh? 
this week's highlights

Artisans Gallery & Café

is proud to offer our signature house coffee "Artisans", roasted locally by One Village; our freshly brewed iced coffee & iced tea,  & Harney Specialty Teas.  We selected One Village as our roaster for our "exclusively blended "Artisans" coffee which is served and sold only at our café.  The folks at One Village believe that "delivering the freshest coffee while maintaining a low carbon footprint is important to us so we limit ourselves to locations within 500 miles from our headquarters".  This week receive 10% off any handmade mug with the purchase of  any OV 12 oz. Bag of coffee selling for $12.00

 

Birchrun Hills Farm

We're bringing a selection of our best cheeses including Honey & Sea Salt, Summer Herb & Garlic, Birchrun Blue, Fat Cat, Equinox and Red Cat for you! Also available - our Rose' Veal (also on the menu at Restaurant Alba) 

 

Deep Roots Valley Farm

This is the week to see us if you have been waiting for smaller whole chickens!  We will be processing a smaller batch then normal this week because 2 of our 5 usual helpers won't be here.  We should have plenty of fresh whole chickens to last through Saturday, but will probably have to bring some frozen parts and pet items in order to have enough.

Stock your freezer and save!  
30lbs of whole chickens for $100
60lbs of whole chickens for $195
90lbs of whole chickens for $290
120lbs of whole chickens for $375

If you want them fresh please let us know asap, because we have limited availability this week.  If you want them frozen, just let us know!

ATTENTION All of you Buckeye Bar Addicts......  Al Roker says it's getting cooler, perfect weather for BUCKEYE BARS.  Yep they will be the market this week.  Come early before they sell out!  

 

North Star Orchard

Welcome to apple season...it's Showtime! (that's actually the name of one of our varieties this week).

Apple varieties change weekly. Some stay awhile and some are one-week wonders. Descriptive signs will give you a better idea of the flavor. We try to line up our apples from most sweet to most tart, so that will help guide you as well. Mix-and-match, and have fun tasting at home! Varieties this week will include: Showtime!, Honeycrisp, and Monolith, and maybe others if they are ready.


Veggie selections will include crunchy carrots, beautiful broccoli, big bountiful beets, awesome arugula, and keen kale!  

 

Oley Valley Mushroom

Joe will be back, and he will have Shiitake, Ports, and Crimini,   also dried oyster mushrooms.

 

Pureblend
will be there with many NEW Fall Blends. Sip in the new season with our signature teas.

Our teas are hand blended in small batches with organic and fair trade ingredients.   

 

Shellbark Hollow Farm

Have you tried our Marinated Chèvre?  We will be sampling all four of our different types at the market this week~
