UPDATE FOR 2012 SEASON-
Unfortunately (for us), Derek and Heather have moved to a new location in Buckley. Not all is lost though! The have found a new owner to take over who they believe shares their commitment to local products and quality produce. I will update this post when I get more information about the new owners and also have a completely new post about Derek and Heather's place in Buckley when they open! Thanks for being such a great addition to our neighborhood, guys! We'll miss you!

Derek and Heather Muirhead are the most recent people to take over this fixture of the Edgewood community. Over the years, it has changed ownership more times than I can count, with varying success. Derek and Heather seem to know their stuff, and I hope they continue to be the providers of fresh, quality produce to our neighborhood for years to come!
Although this year was a particularly bad spring and summer weather-wise, the Muirheads did their best to procure local fruits and veggies while in their prime, and made sure everyone who was interested knew about it by sending direct emails and posting updates on their Facebook page.
They have a great variety of produce, and only keep it in stock during it's prime season. Once it's gone, it's gone... so you better take advantage of their great quality and prices while you can.
Although these photos were taken at the beginning of August, they still have fantastic corn on the cob, nectarines, peaches, and tomatoes, and they are now starting to get new crop apples!
You can't miss their great variety of potted flowers and hanging baskets, and they also carry other items such as local honey.
Even though it's getting to be the end of the season for many items, they still have lots of variety to choose from. Stop in SOON, check everything out, and sign up for their email list!
Yes, this is where I bought the wonderful tomatoes for my caprese salad!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! What a beautiful farmers market. Prices aren't bad either - i think I paid $4-$5 for a lb of rainier cherries here this year.
ReplyDeleteIt's not what we consider a farmer's market here. Farmer's markets are somewhat transient places. This is a produce stand. It's been there forever, just with different owners. The prices go up and down depending on the availability of any given product. The nectarines are only $1.49 a lb. now.
