Opening Bell: Duck Eggs, Apples, Cheese, Cauliflower!


Good evening!

Now that all the Thanksgiving frenzy is over, it’s time to start planning for Christmas! The holidays are great for visiting with family and eating lots of delicious food, and we’re very lucky to have so much variety being produce locally. We will be open all FIVE Fridays in December to supply you with lots of fresh, local goodies. Several of your Growers have high tunnels which extend the growing season for their crops. Look for all the cole crops, like Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, etc.

We haven’t had a freeze yet at Cedar Rock Ridge, so we are still enjoying fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, basil, etc. If you’d like to enjoy the taste of summer all winter long, why not ask Santa for a food dehydrator? A hearty stew with cherry tomato halves and jalapeno and bell pepper slices tastes so good in February!

Volunteer Opportunity! Because many of our wonderful market workers are college students who will be going home for the holidays, we have some 4-hour shifts available on Friday, December 23rd and 30th. Maybe you have a teenager that would like to earn $20 in food credit? We can put them to work, and they’ll have a great time guaranteed! Call or text Steve for details or questions.

Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!

Check out over 500 wonderful items listed right now. See you on Friday!

Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table. And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)

The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping:

Funny Farm will have duck eggs listed, and occasionally will have chicken and turkey eggs. Welcome, Nathaniel!
