At Saul, fresh from our local orchards, we have peaches, nectarines, plums, donut peaches and rambo apples - the first of the season!. We also have cucumers, squash and eggplants straight from our own farms.

We are also offering a deal on paste tomatoes that are great for canning and making sauce.  For the next two weeks purchases over 10 lbs will be sold at our wholesale price, $2.60/lb. Purchases under 10 lbs will be at our regular retail price, $3.00/lb. If you would like to pre-order your paste tomatoes, we can box them up in advance and have them waiting for pick up during the farm stand hours. Contact Nina at nberryman@weaversway.coop to order.
