Bring on October
The leaves are starting to pop in color, the nights have been getting cold and the first decorations of the Halloween season are going up. October is here and honestly, we're ready for it.
Fall market season brings so much to the table, especially as long as the frosts hold out. Produce is abundant, the flowers are magnificent and cozy nights in the kitchen sounds magical after a long hot summer.
Roast up some baby Brussels sprouts from Natalie's Garden & Greenhouse with this delicious balsamic vinegar glaze recipe.
If you're looking to add a little color around your place, swing by the J + R Farm booth and check out the lovely selection of mums (pictured) and other ornamentals.
This weekend we're excited to welcome back two vendors to the October lineup.

The days and the market season get shorter from here, let's enjoy every minute of it.
As a reminder, we ask shoppers and vendors alike to please use the new gravel paths going forward and to let the old foot paths heal over and regrow with their native plantings.
See you at the market!
