Farmers Market Continues Year Round

Our wonderful each Sunday morning under the trees in Carmichael Park continues.

A few changes are taking place to prepare for winter. The market moved from the grass to the pavement to help our footing.

Summer crops have been exchanged for fall - apples, pomegranates, and quince are replacing my peaches and strawberries. Huge beets, carrots, bac choi, cabbage, leaks and squash bring a wonderful range of colors and tastes.

A cup of coffee and one of BettyJos Cinnamon rolls (from her grand mothers recipe) makes for a great start to the morning. I just made a pie with the crisp apples and the squash makes a great soup which is very inviting on these colder days.

Many people have mentioned to me how much they like the positive impact the farmers market has had on our community. Let your park district know, they made it possible. And be sure to pick up a little extra of your favorites for your holiday celebrations.
