Fuji apples have arrived 🍎+ we still have πŸ‡

What’s NEW at the Market this Week?

🍎Apple season has really arrived – first the Royal Galas and now Fuji apples are being picked at the Costanzo family farm. They arrive at the market this week. This medium-sized apple is slightly sweeter than other varieties and is great in salads, pies, sauces. It can also be frozen.

πŸ‡Black muscats are still being picked so enjoy them while they last (this may be their last week).

Also new this week at Three Sons Coffee Cartel is their NEW whole spiced freshly BREWED coconut chai. I can’t wait!
