Welcome new vendor Fisher’s Field with their Wet Garlic.
– What is Wet Garlic? Wet (or green) garlic is freshly-harvested garlic that hasn’t been hung up to dry. It’s sweeter, milder and less pungent than the usual kind and is lovely sliced straight into salads.

Farm Fresh Veggie Boxes – 2 sizes (for families of 1-2 or 2-4) This week’s boxes contain Sweet Corn, New Potatoes, Yellow/Green Beans and Zucchini. (Items may vary due to crop availability)
A HUGE thank you to our team of amazing volunteers who have made the first 7 weeks of the new virtual market a success. Each Thursday we have a team of folks who unload farm produce, sort the orders into deliver quadrants and then deliver over 100 orders each week! As we grow each week, we need more help!
