MARKET NEWS
Pine Row Farm will take your preorders until Friday and will also have a selection of meats, honey & maple syrup available on Saturday.
Please also check out the Sweetwater Verified vendors who sell either on farm or elsewhere; we’ve updated that list with The Pasturage, Crow’s Nest garlic and Laughing Tree’s bake schedule for the month. A drive to Fremont gets you Kaufmans Farm certified organic veggies & if you’re thinking of a CSA next year be sure to look at Tortoise & Hare Farm. We also added Hidden Creek Farm to our list of farms to visit. If you have a favorite farm not on our list please email us and we’ll contact them about getting into the newsletter!

2. Vendors will respond back by no later than Friday before market day with an order confirmation and an invoice that in most cases will allow you to pre-pay for your order. If a vendor is not set up to take payment online they will accept checks (preferred) or cash on market day pickup.
