MARKET SEASON - IS IT OVER?



Our final day at the Lake City Market.



Last week, at Johnny Appleseed Days, was suppose to be our final market in Lake City, but with a forecast in the 80's, plenty of help, and produce available, we made an executive decision to do one more Lake City Market.  How could we go wrong?  We enjoy all the vendors, we knew that Amaya and Noelia would enjoy helping, and we also knew Highway 61 was going to be bustling with people getting out of Minneapolis and beyond to enjoy the Mississippi river fall colors.  We were not disappointed. 

In the next weeks we will post a recap of our growing season.  What we have left to do this fall, what we learned, and what our goals and expectations are for 2011.  We will also post a recap of the Lake City Farmer's Market in pictures!  If you are reading our blog for the first time, and you live in our area, we hope you will keep the Lake City Farmer's Market in mind for 2011!!! 

So yes, this was our final market for the 2010 growing season (other vendors may be in Lake City on Saturday mornings for the remainder of October).  We still have produce available which can be picked up at the farm or delivered via Michael to Rochester.  See the page heading above - WHAT IS AVAILABLE.  That said, here are a few pictures from last Saturday, October 9.  Enjoy your day, the beautiful weather (remember almost a year ago today, we woke up to inches of snow), and we hope you have locally grown produce and fruits piled on your kitchen counter, or locally produced eggs and meats stored in your larder for the days to come!!!
