Check out the PA Maple Syrup Tour in Edinboro area.
Hurry Hill Farm is very family friendly and has sleigh and wagon rides that take you to the sugar shack. They cook down the maple sap into syrup the old fashioned way in a wood stoked sugar shack.
Spinach; Arugula; Broccoli Raab (young tender leaves); Red Russian Kale and Red radishes have arrived.
We still have Swiss Chard; Braising mix; Salad greens; French Sorrel; Sweet Bell peppers and a few gold and red beets. As well as many herbs
We will only be at Mt Lebanon Market, today, September 30 and Farmers@ Firehouse in the Strip District, Saturday, October 3 this week.
We will not be attending the Mall at Robinson - we will return there next week.
We now have arugula availabe at our markets.
I just wanted to pass along that The Mt Lebanon Lions Farmer's Market will be hosting our annual corn roast this Wednesday, August 26. Starting at 4:00 PM until we run out of corn.
We will be opening 1/2 hour sooner, this week only, to give you more time to shop and enjoy your corn.
So beat the crowds and be ready to shop at 3:30 this week.
We hope you are having a great summer.

This week Goose Creek Gardens will have lots of good things at our markets for you.
Basil - Basil - Basil!!!
Regular basil - larger quantitiy for pesto or other great dishes
Lemon Basil - amazing in all dishes - try it in your mojito instead of mint!
Thai Basil and cinnamon basil - basil's that are spicier and more attitude.
Dillweed - for your fish, salads and cucumbers.
In additon, we have, Lemongrass, sage, rosemary, thyme, chives, spearmint (mint), peppermint, chocolate mint, and Greek Oregano.
We have our first flow of honey from our own hives - available in 1 lb jars.
We have expanded our products and we also now have: zucchini, crookneck squash, and zephyr squash which is the favorite of the rest of the nation; sweet green peppers, 6 types of eggplant. A limited amount of squash blossoms - last week for this.
We also have fresh free range eggs - hormone free and antibiotic free from an Amish farm in Mercer County. These eggs are also sold at East End Food Coop.
On the down side we do not have any fresh greens at this time - the weather has been strange - the greens will be back in about two weeks.
We are starting our fall plantings of greens so look forward to an abundance of great greens - lettuce - to arugula - to mustard greens.
We look forward to seeing you at Mt. Lebanon today, Wednesday; Robinson Mall, Tomorrow, Thursday; or Farmers @ Firehouse on Saturday morning.
We will be there for you rain - or shine.
Margie & Mark
You can now order on-line from Goose Creek Gardens and pick-up your order at one of the three markets that we do.
Order from the Bethel Park on-line store; Mt Lebanon on-line store or Farmers @ Firehouse on-line store. Your product would then be available for pick up on the next market date for the appropriate market.
Each store is only open for two days prior to each market.
Next time you want to be sure we have the item you want when you arrive at the market - just order ahead and it will be waiting for you.
Hi Everyone,
I thought you would all like to take a look at the latest issue of Table Magazine. Our Katie is part of an article done on young people in farming.
If you have not seen this magazine yet, it has a great bit of information for all of who love food.
See you at the markets.
