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
Beets
Yellow Beans
Arugula
Garlic

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!

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!
