Sun upon our face and wind at our back

Last Friday’s “Don't hang up your canvas shopping bag just yet” post from Atlanta Magazine’s blog “Covered Dish” reminded us of the joys of late summer/early fall. Now’s the time to savor peppers, okra, tomatoes and eggplants, and to welcome figs, green beans, muscadine grapes, pears, Swiss chard, tomatoes, turnip greens and winter squash. Check out our summer post on okra or Chef Gerry Klaskala’s recipe for Skillet Roasted Okra with Eastern Spices and Lime (featured on the Chef Demo Recipes page of our website) for some great ways to celebrate late summer’s bounty. And stop by this week, with a cool breeze at your back, to peruse the beautiful beginnings of fall produce.

PLEASE NOTE: Fall hours have begun! The Market is now open 9 am -12:30 pm, every Saturday through December 18.
