HOLIDAY GIFT COLLECTIONS

Please visit our catalogue page to see the lovely gift boxes available in our market and online.
While there are some gifts that must be shipped, it always adds a special touch for you to deliver
them in person. When you visit our market with its potbelly stove and our historic 1802 barn,
it will add a wonderful background story to the gifts that you bring your family, friends,
and business colleagues.

In light of staffing shortages, we are doing our utmost to process orders in a timely fashion.
Please be patient this holiday season. Your order will arrive soon!

Made with our creamy Bartlett pears at their perfect ripeness in mid fall,
blended with our autumn red raspberries.
