TWO Market Days Left....

Leaves are starting to tumble to the ground, the air is cooling and fall is announcing its arrival...

The farmers are bringing beautiful local produce to the Heights Farm Market. Take advantage of the local quality and stop by on Wednesday! The weather is going to be incredible. Extend your labor day weekend and enjoy an evening in the market square on September 8th from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. If you've been considering buying local gifts from our local artisans for the holidays, don't delay - there are only TWO more market days left in the 2010 season - can you believe it?!
