Misty Meadows Market I

Shortly after we drove through the woods and saw the New England Asters we reached the Misty Meadows Market in Conn.  It features veggies and flowers outside, and a range of food and dry goods inside.  We've been stopping here since it was a Mennonite gentleman with a horse and buggy at the side of the road; it's nice to see what it's become.

Fall mums are popular around here, and they had lots.

These are not watermelons!

But these are peppers, of various colours.

Fresh peas.

A whole wall of onions.

And a big bin of corn.

Finally a bouquet of fresh flowers.

  2. It all looks top quality produce - even if they don't know what a watermelon is! I'm lucky in that I have a farm shop just down the road from me.

  4. Nice market! The colors and condition of all the veg and flowers are lovely.
    I haven't been to our downtown market since well before I retired. The parking situation is ridiculous.

  5. The array of produce is amazing, and what a way to get your veges, fresh, home grown, and no middle man to mark up the prices. Best of all, flowedrs that have several varieties in each bunch.Enjoy those autumn days.

  8. The harvest looks great. Cabbage was one thing my mom always grew herself. The whole country shop area is so inviting. We have a downtown market each Saturday that is so popular.

  13. Nice looking flowers and produce. We have several perennial mums that have survived many winters, but nobody here sells them any more. Hope nobody buys a cabbage thinking they're getting a watermelon.
