Just when our farmers' markets are brimming with fresh, ripe, abundant products, some customers forget about them. It's as if Labor Day and the changes we make in our schedules after that holiday take them off our agenda.
We are here to tell you that that would be a big mistake. Some of the best fruit and vegetables of the year are showing up now at your local markets and farm stands. Right now, we're getting the best of the summer and the early fall crops.
We see lots of you clicking on our spring post with the weekly market schedule. As the markets begin to close for the season, we'll prepare an update. But remember, most markets are open into October. Some markets like Copley, Dewey Square, City Hall Plaza, and Central Square Cambridge are open until Thanksgiving week.
You can find the closing dates for your favorite market over at the MassFarmersMarkets site. Click on the Find tab, select "market" and enter your information in the boxes.
What's your favorite fall crop? We love winter squash and new potatoes! We make big trays of roasted, root vegetables and use them as an ingredient in hash, soup, and salads. Here's more about that trick!
