Fall means mums and there are plenty to choose from as well as seasonal fresh-cut flowers.
There is beginning to be a crisp fall note in the air and the vegetable vendors have squashes, bok choy, carrots, onions and potatoes for those heartier fall meals. You can also buy spinach and other cool weather bedding plants to grow your own greens.
Try some different flavors of honey for your hot afternoon tea. Add micro-greens to your salads. Buy some of the locally-made cheddar cheeses for snacks and recipes. Plan ahead by adding a hand-knit hat for those future cold mornings. Feed your sweet tooth by choosing from the variety of baked goods available,including gluten-free.
You will find many kinds of meats at the market from steaks to sausage to chicken breast to goat and rabbit in different cuts. Roam through the market and then buy almost everything you need for a week’s worth of meals.
