Back to School
We've finally rounded the bend of Labor Day weekend, the unofficial end of summer.
It's bittersweet for us market-goers, for it's somewhat of a goodbye and hello all wrapped up in one. We've said farewell to the fun summer camping trips, runs to the beach or nights watching fireflies as we grill in the backyard. But we're also saying hello to new teachers for the kids, future Halloween costumes and most importantly, all our fall market favorites. Atoms to Apples started us off a little early with some of their tasty apple cider, delicious cold or warmed up with a cinnamon stick.
JenEhr Family Farm is bringing us enormous leeks (pictured) that look like they could hit a home run before hitting the dinner table. Even the first winter squash have been creeping in at Yang Family Produce, always a telltale and tasty sign of the fall to come. Before we become fully enwrapped in sweaters and all things pumpkin spice, we've still got a few nice warm weeks to enjoy. This weekend, we're welcoming back Science is Fun for their last free kids science demo of the 2019 season. With good weather in the forecast and tables full of produce, the market is the perfect place to start your weekend. School may be back in session, but Saturday mornings are still full of fun tasty trips to market. See you at market! Ben Zimmerman Market Manager
