Fresh and Beautiful...

It was a beautiful Wednesday for the market. The best weather since the market began a few weeks ago. Vendors and customers alike were quite thankful and enjoyed the afternoon and evening outdoors.

If you weren't able to make it out yesterday, we took a few pictures to capture some of the goodness that the vendors were selling - just to tempt you for next time. You can see the complete album on our Heights Farm Market Facebook page.



I did my shopping when the market opened and walked away with strawberry topping/preserves from Jenkins Country Farm (I got the last jar until more strawberries come in); hydroponic tomatoes from Ioerger Farms; freshly picked green beans and the best handmade portabello mushroom and arugula ravioli in the world from Crow Creek Farms. Truly such wonderful products from my local vendors - buying fresh and buying local with the best flavor - I feel so lucky to have them right in my backyard - so to speak.


By chance if you weren't able to make it this week - be sure to make it out at least a few times this season. Produce can change as the weeks go by, so you don't want to miss out! Plus, there are fresh breads, pies, eggs, meats and other specialty foods - all locally made and produced. It really can't get much fresher and tastier than that!


See you on Wednesday - 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm!
