Thank you for a great Season!
this Saturday is our final Perkasie Farmers Market for 2021
notes for the post-season are all the way at the end!
Our October Giveaway is going strong!
In honor of National Domestic Violence Awareness month, we’re holding a giveaway to benefit Laurel House. Tickets to win a 2022 Market Shopper CSA Share, a handcrafted floral wreath or a special honey and bees wrap bundle are available on our website until 6pm on Friday 10.29. Winners drawn at random can pick up their gifts at market this weekend!
Our website will be stocked this evening at 6pm for pickup at Perkasie Farmers Market this Saturday. Not all items included in this preview will be available for pre-order and we may have a few extra items at market. As always, you’ll find all the good veggies and location info at wrockhill.com/shop.
Great greens and aromatic herbs
Back again are not only our baby kale blend, but also lettuce blend, baby arugula, and spinach packed up and ready for all your salad, saute and stir-fry needs. We’re delighted to offer leaf lettuce as well as bel fiore radicchio to round out the salad set. Teeny tiny microgreens are represented this week by mustard and radish - ready to add a bit of zip to any meal.
Great big leaves this week are curly kale and tuscan a.k.a. Dino kale. Freeze these simply without blanching to keep yourself in leafy green goodness through the winter. This method is our go-to when we’re planning future smoothies especially. Tender bok choy made it through the deluge this week, and remains perfectly suited to our favorite soup weather recipes.
Herb bunches are looking zippy with cilantro, dill, and rosemary on the menu. This is the time of year when we trot out our herb salt recipe for holiday cooking and gifting.
Hearty veggies are here
We’re happy to have celery back this week, joined by baby fennel, crisp carrots and great garlic. Of course all three are a treat when roasted together with red onions, but you could also take a turn at garlic confit to get even more goodness from your cloves.
Autumn favorites for decor
This is our first week bringing pumpkins and winter squash to decorate your table and a fresh round of dried floral wreaths and broom corn bundles. Our mixed bouquets this week are heavy with heirloom chrysanthemums and sprinkled with the final dahlias of the year. It’s nearly time to get them out of the ground and into storage for the winter, but that will wait for our first proper frost.
Post Season shopping
Each year we try to extend our season at least a bit beyond the regular Perkasie Farmers Market season, whether with flowers, veggies or holiday decor. While the weather and the simple logistics of space have provided us with some new challenges this year, we are delighted to at least be sharing some things into November.
Stay tuned to these emails for that info - we’ll keep you all in the loop on what’s still growing and offering self-serve farmstand pickups as long as the weather allows.
Thank you for your support this season!
We feel so truly delighted and lucky to share our farming season with so many wonderful folks. As we close our fourth season with Perkasie Farmers Market we’re glad to reflect on spending so much time with you all, whether you joined us as a CSA member, sometimes shopper or weekly Market regular. It has been an honor to share another season of fruits, veggies and flowers with you!
Stay well.
Regards,
Rosemary + Pete
