End: Saturday, September 6, 2025 4:00PM

Apple season is arriving in the Northeast Kingdom, and the Peacham Farmers Market is marking the occasion with a brand-new celebration. On Saturday, September 6, from 1 to 4 p.m., the market will host Apples & Arts, a lively afternoon of food, music, and community on the historic Peacham Green. The event will showcase the best of the late-summer harvest and local creativity. Visitors can enjoy live apple pressing and fresh-pressed cider, sample local apples, and savor dishes from Stag & Thistle. Market stalls will be filled with flowers, vegetables, garlic, meats, mushrooms, bread, pottery, woven goods, and lathe-turned wooden bowls, alongside sweet treats such as maple cotton candy and icy desserts. Entertainment will feature live music by Icarus Tyree (Local Folk Orchestra, Bread and Puppet Circus) and on-the-spot portraits by artist Larry Golden. The Hard Pressed Community Printshop will also be on hand as a special guest. A highlight of the day is the 1st Annual Apples & Arts Apple Pie Contest. Home bakers from across the region are invited to bring their best creations for a chance to win prizes and bragging rights. Pies must be home-baked and labeled with ingredients. To enter, bakers should email their name, pie title, and phone number to peachamfarmersmarket@gmail.com in advance, and deliver their pie to the Market Info Tent by 1:00 p.m. on the day of the event. Judging begins at 2:30 p.m., with winners announced at 3:30 p.m. For more information, contest details, or registration, contact peachamfarmersmarket@gmail.com.
