Pumpkins and Melons and Squash, Oh My!

Fall produce is hitting the stands of our vendors–including variety of winter squashes including acorn, buttercup, butternut, and pie pumpkins.  They’re bringing in melons and carving/decorating pumpkins, too, as well as a variety of summer goodness like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, beans, and more.

This will be the last appearance of Dakota Harvest Lamb until the last market of the season on October 22nd, so stock up.  Bob’s got brats again, so plan ahead for your tailgates and barbeques, and try his new heritage Dexter beef summer sausage as well.

We should see Laurel today with her colorful tie-dyes, and Gail and Lip Smakin’ Jellies will both be on hand for sweet, spreadable treats.  What to put those treats on?  How about Red Wagon’s famous breads?

Elk Point Market Today

In case you can’t wait for Thursday, you might consider heading over to the Elk Point Farmers Market this (Tuesday) evening from 5-7pm.

The market usually sets up in the City Hall parking lot, and you’ll notice the traffic cone in the center of the main drag, directing you toward all the fresh local goodness.

A couple of Vermillion market vendors regularly attend the Elk Point market–bringing jams and jellies, baked goods, and load of great produce.

Hope to see you there!
