Plenty of fall produce at the market

The weather is growing chilly, and colored leaves are swirling! It’s time to stock up on produce that will last into the winter—potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, and pumpkins. There are plenty of those at the market. You’ll also find crisp local apples, juicy pears, grapes and berries, sweet peppers, carrots, and homemade jams, jellies and spreads. In the cooler weather, greens are making a comeback. Some of the delicious and nutritious offerings at the market: lettuce and salad mix, Swiss chard, mesclun, arugula, and kale.

We also have plenty of baked goods—pies, bread, cookies, cinnamon rolls, and candies. Try some homemade egg noodles, local honey, and maple syrup, too.

Decorating for fall? The market has beautiful mums, gourds, Indian corn, corn shocks, painted “jack o’lantern” gourds, and bright-colored pumpkins and winter squash. You’ll also find special gifts—wood crafts, handknit wool hats and scarves, note cards, memo boards, fire starters, hand-dipped beeswax candles, and more.

The market is open through October 29. Don’t miss it!
