Original Post: Today, we welcome Mike Dippold of Malabar Peach and Apple Orchard to the Market Wednesday season. This is Mike's first week with peaches, so he may have a limited supply. Please note - Malabar Peach and Apple is the only Market Wednesday vendor that does not  take debit/credit cards - he's cash or check only.

Branstool Orchards plans to begin bringing peaches to market in August. We will keep you posted.

We will not see Hinton Apiaries for the next two weeks. Jerry will be back on August 8th.

Kingdom Fish will not be at market this week, and we should see them next week. They've had some unexpected technical issues on the farm that they've been tending to.
