Peach Day returns to the Easton Farmers Market 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5, in what promises to be a sweet and juicy celebration of midsummer’s beloved tree fruit.
Locally grown yellow and white freestone peaches, donut peaches and nectarines (the peach’s fuzz-less sibling) will be available from Scholl Orchards and Phillips Farm. Cabbage Throw Farm will offer organic peaches. Bulk specials will be available while supplies last.
EFM’s bakeries will serve up handmade peach pies, tarts, strudel and pastries. Market-goers will also find healthy peach salads, peach sangria and other fresh creations throughout the market.
Regular vendor Porch Tea will have an array of creative teas and another EFM regular, Zekraft, will offer peach crepes.
Nesting Box Creamery (a featured guest vendor) will offer three ice cream flavors in addition to peach sundaes and peach milkshakes. Quarts of peach ice cream will be available to go.
DEAL, a Grateful Dead inspired band back by popular demand, will perform 10 a.m.-noon, as part of the EFM’s live music series sponsored by Martin Guitar.
A program of the nonprofit Greater Easton Development Partnership, the Easton Farmers Market, presented by Capital Blue, is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday (May-December) at Scott Park along Larry Holmes Drive.
Free parking for Easton Farmers Market will be available in the two lots adjacent to Scott Park, thanks to Riverstar Properties and the Law Offices of Florio-Perrucci.
EFM – as well as the West Ward Market and Highmark Farmstand inside Easton Public Market – welcome Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Additionally, Philadelphia-based The Food Trust (thefoodtrust.org) will double purchases up to $10 through the use of Food Bucks for fruits and veggies when shoppers spend at least $2 using SNAP at all three markets.
