Some Great Summer Crops are Hanging In... Catch Them Before Markets Wind Down
This time of year, we are in a transitional season in which (if we're fortunate) some summer crops are persisting through a long season while fall crops are making their appearance. I love the kind of photo above, in which tomatoes, a quintessential summer crop, spend time with pumpkins, one of the symbols of fall.
If you know, you know. But you may have to move quickly to not miss out. The regional farmers market schedule for the next week is below, missing 11 markets that have wrapped up their 2024 outdoor seasons; 11 more are calling it quits after this week.
