Pop-Up Markets and Summer Abundance (7/17/24 Newsletter)

Hey there Hilltown Market Family!

Remember those awesome pay-what-you-can pop-up markets you've been loving? Well, guess what? We're keeping the good times rolling right through to mid-November! Picture this: You're strolling through Chester Commons on a crisp Thursday morning, the smell of fresh produce in the air. Or maybe you're catching us at It Takes a Village, where the community vibe is as nourishing as our veggies. How about a scenic trip to Westhampton Woods? We're there too! And for all you Tuesday shoppers, we've got you covered from Highland Village to Cummington to Plainfield. It's like a magical produce tour of the Hilltowns!

Now, let's talk about the real stars of the show – our vegetables! Oh. My. Goodness. Have you seen our tomatoes lately? They're so plump and juicy, they practically burst with flavor when you look at them! And don't even get me started on the peaches. These beauties are so sweet and fragrant, you'll think you've died and gone to fruit heaven.

But wait, there's more! Our greens are so fresh, they might just start a conversation with you. Crisp lettuce, spicy arugula, tender spinach – it's a leafy paradise! And let's not forget the parade of other veggies. We've got crisp sugar snap peas that snap with sweetness, tender young zucchini perfect for grilling, bunches of fragrant herbs that'll make your kitchen smell like a garden, and cucumbers so cool they wear sunglasses. (Okay, maybe not that last part, but you get the idea!) Can't make it to the markets or store? No sweat! We'll bring the farm-fresh goodness right to your doorstep. So come on down and see us. Bring your family, bring your friends, heck, bring your neighbor's cousin's dog if they're into fresh veggies! Let's keep this local food movement growing stronger than our prize-winning zucchinis. We can't wait to see your smiling faces and share in the bounty of the season with you. After all, that's what the Hilltown Market is all about!
