NEW CROP
HONEYCRISP APPLES

A new crop of fresh-picked honeycrisp apples from Othello, WA just landed at the market! They taste as good as they look, too: sweet, crisp, and juicy.
We have them in unwaxed in totes for $.99/lb. What a great way to ease into fall!

​
Learn about the different kinds of winter squash on our Squash Market page.
O'HENRY PEACHES
ORONDO, WA
O'Henry peaches are a sweet way to savor the last days of summer. They're a large and sweet free stone peach that's excellent for eating fresh, canning, freezing, baking and even grilling. We'll have them for a limited time in September.
​
Don't miss them!
HOW TO CHOOSE A RIPE PEACH
1. Follow the seam of the peach to the bottom of the fruit (stem end).
​
2. Hold the peach between your thumb and fore, middle, or small finger.
​
3. Press VERY GENTLY with your thumb at the stem end of the fruit ONLY. If the flesh has some "give", it's ripe and ready to eat.
​
4. AROMA: A ripe peach should be fragrant and make your mouth water.
​
5. COLOR: Look for an overall golden background color - not pale or green.
PLUMS AND PLUOTS
THEY'RE IN PEAK SEASON
Black, red, and Italian plums plus a variety of pluots and nectaplums are at their peak at the market.
​
If you've never tried a pluot, you're in for a treat. A cross between a plum and an apricot, pluots have all the sweet-tartness of a plum plus the soft floral flavor notes of an apricot. These are truly a summer highlight for us.
LEAVING SOON

YAKIMA, WA
Nothing comes close to a sun-ripened tomato from eastern Washington! Bursting with flavor, Yakima tomatoes are the stuff BLT dreams are made of! We have both beefsteak tomatoes and heirloom tomatoes.
​
Season's almost over. Get yours before they're gone!
SWEET SUMMER CORN

We still have a good supply of sweet corn. Fresh from the fields in Othello, this corn is supersweet and needs absolutely no seasoning whatsoever!
