Hello Market Shoppers!


The weather may be a little chilly tomorrow, but it's November and your farmers and artisans  will be out in force with the best fresh and local food and WARM smiles on their faces! 

Wild for Salmon and Country Time Farm will be here for the last time before Thanksgiving, so be sure to stock up.  They will be back for Holiday markets between Thanksgiving and Christmas and for our Winter Markets on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays from January through April.  Winter may be on the way, but we want to make sure you can enjoy your farmers' market favorites throughout the entire year!!

If you enjoy Birchrun Hill's cheeses, you should check out their Kickstarter campaign.  They're hoping to build a cheese cave which will mean more cheese for us!

Joe Willson will play on stage from 10am to 1pm. Be sure to grab a seat, soak up the sunshine and enjoy the show!  

 

 

See you at the Market!

Baues' Busy Bees
This is a season to thank our bees!  Their honey soothes sore throats, while their beeswax creams soothe our skin and their beeswax candle give warm light to out holiday meals!

Birchrun Hills Farm
Over the past seven years, we've nurtured our cheese making business and have outgrown our current small home for the cheese. SO...we're taking a leap. We're investing everything we have to grow our cheese making business by building a new facility on our farm to make and age more of our beautiful cheese.

By supporting the BHF Raise a Cave Kickstarter Campaign you will help us to outfit the essential parts of the facility where our cheese is made and aged.
