Barn fire temporarily KOs a Tompkins Square Park Greenmarket favorite

Samascott Orchards, a regular presence at the Tompkins Square Park Greenmarket on Sundays, suffered a barn fire this past week (Jan. 7) on their Columbia County farm.

While everyone is OK, their property suffered extensive damage, and the sellers of apples, strawberries, potatoes, ciders, and more will not attend any greenmarkets until further notice.

Is there a GoFundMe effort?

I have not seen any mention of one yet...

Awful. They are great vendors with the best selection of apples at good prices. Always friendly. A shame. Glad that none of their employees were physically injured.

Dang! Hope that get back up & running soon. They are such a nice crew.
