Goldsmiths Farm Market

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.

There were six different apple varieties listed as available, and these will change over the season.

I think these two are Paula Red and Jersey Mac.

These are Ginger Gold.

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.

and these nice big round ones, perfect for Hallowe'en.
