How To Store Your Fresh Produce
Below is a link to a document that briefly covers how to keep each type of fruit or vegetable freshest once you’ve brought it home. If you have a method that works well and isn’t listed, send us an email. We’d love to capture your ingenuity and share it with others. Our farmers are also a wealth of information and will have ideas to share.
Markets
Visit Our Farm Stand and Local Farmers Markets
Each week, all year, we bring a selection of beautiful produce to the community through local farmers markets. We hope you’ll also visit us at our seasonal farm stand at Crabtree Farms.
Main Street Farmers Market
No need to read the fine print, all vendors at the Main Street Farmers Market are committed to sustainable agriculture practices. Crabtree joins Main Street every Wednesday, 4 – 6pm all year. Winter hours are 4 – 5pm. EBT accepted, double SNAP available.

A thriving community market focused on sustainable produce and handmade items such as jams, soaps, bread, and more. The market is open 10am – 12pm from the 3rd Saturday in April through the 1st Saturday of December. EBT accepted, double SNAP available.
Crabtree Farm Stand
A smaller selection of our most abundant produce is available at our farm Fridays and Saturdays, 10am-3pm.

Pay It Forward
Help us build an education fund that can provide scholarships. The proceeds will be divided between children’s programs and adult workshops.
