Market friends, Cobblestone Farmers Market is moving to its new permanent location on Saturday, October 2, 2021. Do you know the best part? It's just a hop, skip, jump away from our current location - that's right, we're moving NEXT DOOR from 1001 to 1007 S. Marshall Street! Read on for more information about our multi-year growth plan - and of course, to know what’s coming to Market this week!
The coming of fall marks the end of long summer days, backyard barbecues and relaxing near cool sparkling water. The air turns crisp, tree leaves begin to change and everything in nature transitions from energetic bright greens to deep, warming hues. The coming of fall can be just as carefree, fun and festive as summer days gone by! Usher in this seasonal transition with a autumn equinox celebration!
Read MoreWith cooler evenings and mornings encroaching, we can feel the seasonal shift that signals fall products slowly making their debut at market. Winter squash is already popping up, apples are the new fruit on the block, baked goods filled with tastes of fall, autumn plants for your landscapes - a fresh spread of food finds for inspiring your weekend gatherings or weekly routines!
Read MoreTime to enjoy the fruits of our labors and especially those of our farmers and vendors! Kick-off your Labor Day Weekend with a visit to Cobblestone to grab everything you need for a holiday celebration.

No one wants to say it, nor can they imagine it on these hot August days, but summer produce is on its way out the door as farmers transition to fall crops. With summer’s end fast approaching - only 28 more days! - it's time to savor the season and take a much needed break from the heat of the kitchen. Right now, it's about celebrating simplicity and peak-season produce, basking in the last of the summer sun and enjoying the remaining long summer evenings with family and friends.
Read MoreThey’re not always trendy, but they’re dependable! Comforting, versatile and always crowd-pleasing - this root vegetable has a pretty long shelf life in general but even longer when stored properly. The key is to store potatoes in a cool dry place, like the cabinet of a pantry, a paper bag or cardboard box. It’s important to keep potatoes at the cool, ideal temperature (but not, surprisingly, the fridge) to prevent them from turning green, getting soft spots or pre-maturely sprouting. Once this happens, it’s a sign that they’re past their peak.
