This time of the year items run out quickly. Cooler temperatures and lower light levels slow growth. Availability on Monday doesn’t mean there will be any on Friday.
Light frost visited this farm but only in spots. Most items are OK, especially tomatoes and peppers. Zucchini and green beans were hit hard. Yellow summer squash is done too.
Sweet potatoes come in all sizes and shapes, so let me know if you care about the size. There are many more big ones (one pound plus) this season.
Most farmers markets have announced their last market days.
Milford will end Nov. 21st. All markets outside. There will be no indoor markets.
Francestown will end Oct. 30th. Hours will be reduced until them, ending at 6:30 pm starting this Friday.
Peterborough has not decided on indoor markets but it’s unlikely.
Picking up at the farm is always available until I run out of produce. and there is a 10% discount.
