If our markets were a music festival, peaches would be headlining. Tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, cheese, bread would all be performing on different stages. Enjoy the show, there’s something for everyone.image

Up and coming critically acclaimed indie act, Ancient Heritage’s Valentine cheese took first place in the soft-ripened sheep’s or mixed milks cheese category at the American Cheese Society competition. ACS is a Wisconsin, of course, based group dedicated to promoting, training and educating people about cheese, good cheese. Any recognition is a pretty big deal, and I’m no cheese, strike, fromage head but that cheese is good.

PSU has Tyler Malek from Salt and Straw will be performing a solo set at the Chef in the MArket Stage, showing us how to turn fruit into dessert at 10am.
