This Week at the Market

This Week at the Market – September 8, 2019

Beautiful September days, and so much beautiful September produce at the Market — it’s a lovely time of year in so many ways. The only problem is deciding which of the gorgeous, perfectly ripe and perfectly flavorful vegetables and fruits to buy, knowing that soon enough the summer produce will give way to fall crops.
