This week, we're putting the spotlight on Willow Oaks, our Vendor of the Week.
Willow Oaks has a pretty remarkable history. They are the oldest organic farm in Maryland and one of the oldest organic orchards in the country. What I love most about what they do is that they’re not just growing fruit. They’re preserving heritage varieties, teaching sustainable growing practices, sharing what they know, and turning what they grow into everything from jams, butters and syrups to ciders and dessert wines.
This Thursday, they'll be talking everything FIGS!
Dani, Lori and Eric will be at the market talking about growing fig trees, taking care of them, harvesting and preparing the fruit, and answering your questions about growing your own.
Oh yeah, and there will be a fig tasting, too!
It’s finally fig season, and Willow Oaks is bringing a little piece of the Garden of Eden to Middletown. Come taste the actual fruit, learn something new, and get to know one of the farms that has been helping Maryland grow for a very long time.
