The times they are a changing. After more than a decade the EFM is saying goodbye to Stagecoach Apiaries. As you may have heard, our good friend Pete is venturing into a well deserved retirement. We wish him lots of time to do all the things he loves... from fishing, to ballroom dancing. We’re so thankful for all the wonderful honey Pete nourished us with over the years. But we know that nothing pleases Pete more than seeing young bee keepers taking over this vital industry. So this Saturday we’re proud to welcome Pocono Apiaries to the Easton Farmers’ Market. Apiarist Jeremy White trained under another veteran beekeeper in the area- Frank Licata of Bramble Ridge. Jeremy serves on the board of the Monroe’s Beekeepers Association, and is particularly passionate about bee keeping education and community hives. He’ll be bringing an observation hive to the market every week. Please give Jeremy a warm Easton welcome this Saturday. He knows he has some mighty big shoes to fill but he’s up for the challenge and looking forward to being a part of America’s Oldest Open Air Market. Please note: for the first month or so, Pocono Apiaries will be offering Bramble Ridge Honey while Jeremy waits for his own honey to come in for the season.

New to this year’s market is Zekraft - Curators of Taste. Zekraft makes and curates well-crafted food and pantry items from the Lehigh Valley and beyond. Community minded, they’re inspired by the bountiful farms and artisanal creators that make our area unique. They select consciously sourced items, cognizant of offering a more healthful option, realizing that we all need to indulge from time to time. At the market Zekraft will be offering grab-&-go soup, salad, and crostini. This week Zekraft is initiating their buy one give one campaign. For every salad sold at the market, they will be donating one to those in need. And get this - all of their packaging can be returned! They will clean and sterilize it for future use.

This week’s salads include: Thai Chicken, Nicoise, Strawberry Pecan, Shrimp Soba Noodle, and Roasted Chicken. Their soup offering will be Chicken Corn Chowder and Carrot Ginger and for crostini Sun-dried Tomato and Pate. Please visit https://zekraft.com for more information.
