Market Items NOW Available

The following items are now available at the Heights Farm Market:

Sweet Corn
Broccoli
Peppers
Raspberries
Cucumbers
Blueberries
Onions
Lettuce
Cabbage
Green Beans

are just a few of the fresh, locally grown items for sale. Also available are fresh locally baked pies, breads, pasta, pesto, granola, biscotti, popcorn, coffee infused syrups, pancake mix, handmade caramels and more.

The Heights Farm Market is open every Wednesday from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. A little rain may not keep us away, but we will close down when severe weather approaches. Customer and vendor safety is a priority! It has been a stormy start to the season and we hope for blue skies ahead...well, at least on Wednesdays!

As you plan your weekly market visits, feel free to contact our vendors at their vendor links on the side of this blog. Each vendor will be glad to share their market schedules and set aside orders for you in advance of the market. It can be a bummer to have items already sold out when you arrive and the fresh picked produce can go fast...really fast.

See you in a couple of days!

Market Recipes?!

Do you have a favorite summer recipe that you'd like to share? Maybe it's a recipe handed down from your great grandmother to your grandmother to your mother and now to you. A recipe using fresh, local ingredients? If you have a picture of the finished product, email to heightsfarmersmarket@gmail.com and you may even find it posted on our facebook page!

Please post in the comment section below. We'd love to see what tantalizing goodies you like to make!

Ice Cream, Food and Fun!

Summer is here and the temperatures are rising!

Cool off this season with premium ice cream from local Emack & Bolio's - this year featured at the Heights Farm Market on opening day - Wednesday, June 16th! If you're unable to make it on the 16th - they will be back on the 23rd and the 30th of June. A sweet break from the summer heat!

As you walk the market during the evening hours and develop a hunger - Haddad's will be available with savory offerings and their well-loved Lemon Shake-ups.

It promises to be a fun season - so bring the family and enjoy a night out at the Heights Farm Market beginning Wednesday, June 16th from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm!

The Countdown to the Market....

We're getting close - June 16th is now just days away. As farmers prepare for opening day, they have been very, very, VERY busy!

If you have any questions for the farmers prior to opening day, feel free to contact them through the vendor links provided in the right margin of this blog.

Here's to good weather ahead!
