Join us Saturday March 20 and Sunday March 21 for our seventh annual White House Weekend. Many of our vendors will be sampling their fine foods around our market. Have a blast eating your way through our market. We will also conduct some contests and giveaways for prizes. Go green with White House – if you purchase over $25 in merchandise on March 20 or 21, we will give you a free White House reusable bag! Join us for our spring fling! We will also be collecting food to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of The Mahoning Valley in-store all weekend long!
New Crop Ohio Maple Syrup will be ready soon (as soon as Mother Nature cooperates). Our local maple syrup makers Dave and Nancy Hively of Misty Maple Farms are gearing up for the annual sap collection and boiling of pure Ohio maple syrup. Did you know that maple syrup was the only sweet foodstuff available to our pioneer ancestors in the 1700s and early 1800s. Honeybees had not yet arrived in America and sugar was too expensive for the average citizen. Imagine a diet with limited sweetness!
Don’t miss out in tasting the original sweetener of Ohio maple syrup.
Calling all Bakers! Our second annual apple dessert contest will be held Saturday March 27. Last year we had over 50 entries! Our panel of local celebrity judges will taste all desserts and select a first, second and third place winner. Our winner will receive a year’s supply of our apples and $100. Get the application HERE or stop in for an application blank. Entry donations will also benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of The Mahoning Valley.
Finally, don’t forget that we have plenty of our Crisp, Juicy apples in store. Our storages open every few weeks and most varieties are available. Choose from Gala, Delicious, Melrose, Winesap, Cameo, Ida Red, Braeburn, Empire and Jonagold. We also make fresh apple cider every week.
Look for a coupon for our market good thru March 31 at the end of our newsletter, The Crop Crier (sign up at the top of this page). Until next month …
“Appely” yours,
