Just on the outskirts of Thornbury is the most popular local farm market here. I know it's too expensive at times, and it's far too busy, but it has the best local produce around. The family has its own orchards and a large vegetable farm right here in the valley. And of course at apple harvest time (right now), the variety is amazing.
And these are MacIntosh. Once you've tried different varieties and know which ones you like, you'll shop at a place like this and get your favourite one. For me it's Ambrosia, but that's a little later in the season.
.There were several varieties of pumpkins, including these 'UFO' pumpkins,
these very small ornamental pumpkins.
These are delicious photos! Hooray harvest!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of beautiful produce. Makes my mouth water. I love Goldens.
ReplyDeleteLots of apples. I feel like an apple pie.
ReplyDeleteGreat market! The colours are so lovely and those UFO pumpkins look very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree, markets are always pricey but they are providing good food for families. At least we have a choice to buy or not. Love the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteAhh abundance. We picked three bushels of apples at a local orchard on Saturday -- now we're making apple sauce, my job is to quarter and core the apples.
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks amazing.
