Bumper Crops! August Weekend at the Farmer's Market

While visiting family in upstate New York, we made our way to their local farmer's market. Bursting with August's harvest, there were plenty of fruits and vegetables to choose from. Communities committed to hosting farmer's markets mean we all benefit with fresh from field to table produce, and we support our hard working local farmers.
Late summer flowers are great for drying

Yum - green beans!










 Baskets spilling with fresh picked eggplants

Home made root beer and pure maple syrup


Colorful peppers!


Purple peppers?

Lush and juicy tomatoes


  Cukes - just the right size for putting up

Corn picked that morning.


 These melons are perfect.  This kind of bounty won't last too long. So put it in your planner to stop in to your local farmer's market. And take the whole family!
