Reserve your bird!!! Get there early!!!

Most farmers are here today, although several are planning to leave when it starts snowing. This is Gorzynski's last day until next Spring, and many stands are relocated today for easier departures if the predicted heavy snow begins. I didn't see Mountain Sweet Berry, but I was in the market at 7:30 and some farmers were slowed down by traffic. Violet Hill is probably there by now.

Reserve your lamb at Three Corner Field Farm's stand today and your poultry at Quattro's or Flying Pig. Pick up your poultry and pork today at Violet Hill.

Northshire has an interesting new variety of radish today as well as their terrific cabbages and other tasty greens. D'Attolico is here with sprouts, greens, and other items and Paffenroth has their excellent variety of potatoes and other root vegetables, including celeriac and leeks.

Stokes is here with mixed bunches of herbs and other produce and Locust Grove and Breezy Hill have apples, pears, and cider. Most farmers here today will also be here on Wednesday. D'Attolico will not. I didn't see Mountain Sweet Berry today, but I was very early.
