2026 rotating FARMERS’ MARKET schedule:
donate to Tending the Trees
On April 17 there was a precipitous freeze. The entirety of 2026 Ela tree fruit crop died: peaches, pears, apples, cherries, and plums. Luckily the trees themselves all came through fine, but they won’t set new fruit buds until next year. As a result we are limiting our farmers’ market attendance this season. Thanks to our zero-food waste practices we have plenty of apple and pear sauce, fruit butters, dried fruits, freeze dried fruits, and jams to allow us to keep some presence at farmers’ markets. And fortunately our organic heirloom tomatoes were not yet in the ground when the freeze hit, so we will be bringing plenty of those to markets this year!
