Farmer's Market Today!

We're making our first trip to the Farmer's Market in Coudersport this morning. Stop by and see us when you're in town. The market opens at 9 a.m. and continues until around 2 p.m. and features fresh locally-grown produce from area farms and other local items. We'll be offering a limited supply of green peas, the first of the beets and eggs. But the focus of the table will be a big basket of new organic potatoes. You can choose your own from among the 10+plus varieties.
If you're not able to make it to the market today, peas and potatoes from Metzger Heritage Farm are available at Costa's ShurSave Food Shop in Coudersport.

Growers' Gathering

We braved the howling winds last evening to spend time with other "farmer types" at the home of Fitz and Sharon Fitzgerald, the proprietors of Fitzgerald Family Farm (aka Cheery Hill Farm). They took the initiative to bring together local folks who are committed to marketing produce locally. (Sharon has blogged more extensively on the gathering at her site: www. fitzgeraldsfamilyfarm.blogspot.com.) It was a delightful evening as we shared a bountiful potluck supper and traded tales of our adventures (and misadventures) as farmers. We also worked on a plan to be involved with the Farmers' Market on the courthouse square in Coudersport as well as some possible other locations in the Coudersport area. Thanks Fitz and Sharon – and also everyone else! We look forward to getting together again soon as we all plow these new fields together!
