Who's Coming to Thanksgiving Market? Shlagel Farm and Rebert's Farm/Benny's Produce

We've been so pleased to have our friends from Shlagel Farm and Rebert's Farm/Benny's Fruit Stand with us for the season. Both farms were new vendors this year, and it's been wonderful to have them on board. Personally, I've tasted some of the most delicious apples, peaches, tomatoes, onions and sweet potatoes I've ever had this Market season, and I'm grateful to these vendors for introducing new varieties to me! The growing season has come to an end, so sadly for us, this is the last Market of the year where we'll have Shlagel and Rebert's/Benney's with us. Both stands will have seasonal produce offerings -- apples, cabbage kale, sweet potatoes, winter squash, onions, potatoes -- for your Thanksgiving table and beyond. Remember, most produce at this time of year is excellent for keeping; stock up now on winter squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, and apples so you'll have delicious ingredients on hand for cold weather stews and other treats! Please make sure to stop by the Shlagel and Rebert's Benny's stands to thank Ellen, Matt and the other people who come to our Market throughout the season. And encourage them to come back next year!

See you this Saturday at the Market!
