The holiday season is fast approaching (I know, it could slow down a little),
and there are a few opportunities for the market to be open for holiday happenings.
Exciting news came today that our new produce vendor, Jimmy Thomas from Clover will be offering the very popular Indian River (Florida) produce,
starting this Saturday, November 21 at the market.
This includes freshly picked ruby red grapefruit, navel oranges, and tangerines.
They will be available in 5 lb. bags at approx $1 per lb.
Pre- orders can be made for bags as well as entire cases.
Back by popular demand...the tree lot will be returning to the market again this year. It was a huge success last year!
We will offer fresh cut, mountain grown trees. Bring the family to the lot
and enjoy a cup of cider and pick up a wreath too.
The tree lot is scheduled to open daily beginning Saturday, November 28.
Also, some of the regular market vendors have expressed the interest in being at the market
on Saturdays before the holidays offering gift and holiday decorating items. The market will be open from 9AM-Noon beginning No
The Moonlight Market will be open Saturday, December 12 from 5-8PM, in conjunction
with the "Christmas in Olde York" tour of holiday homes.
10 vendors participated in this event last year and it was such a success
that we have decided to make it an annual event.

Clover is a creeping plant in the pea family which produces large amounts of nectar. In many regions of the world, people use clover to control erosion on banks and hillsides, because the plant roots well, holding back the soil, and clover is also used for animal fodder. Beekeepers who want to make clover honey place their hives in an area with a lot of clover, and they may also plant clover around their hives to encourage their bees to feed specifically on clover.
Raise your hand if you enjoy any of the following: almonds, apples, oranges, peaches, pumpkins...
sunflowers, blueberries, avocados and soybeans.Delicious, right? You can thank honey bees for that long list of goodness, as these hardworking insects are responsible for pollinating more than 100 crops nationwide. Sadly, in recent years, beekeepers have lost more than one-third of their bees to a phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder (CCD), in which bees mysteriously abandon their hives and die. Pesticides, viruses, poor nutrition and cell phone signals are often cited as culprits; however, the exact cause of CCD remains uncertain. Experts agree additional research is integral to the preservation of honey bees. Click on our little friend the honey bee for more information and what we can do to help.
