GROWER & MARKET NOTES

Eat The Rainbow: Today it hit me that eating brightly colored foods isn’t necessarily just for the spring and summer months. We’re used to all the reds and yellows and greens of summer produce, but this week while admiring Avalon’s persimmons and packing Senposai and beets, I realized that some cooler weather seasonal foods have more intense color than summer varieties.

CHRISTMAS GIVING NOTE: If you are considering Market items for gifts (and we have SO much to offer!) consider ordering EARLY while those items are available. Many of our vendors participate in craft shows, charity events, etc and if supply of an item runs out it may or may not be replenished in a timely manner. Things like soap take weeks to cure and one of a kind crochet items are gone when they’re gone. We expect to have plenty of goodies available at Open House on Dec. 3 but with all of us being small operations we want you, our loyal Market customers to have first dibs. Ordering early is the way to do that.

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
