As we leave behind the haunted segment of the year – Jack-o’-lanterns, vampires, witches – it’s comforting to think about what holiday comes next. Thanksgiving. Even the sound of the word is comforting. And what the farmers will bring to market this Saturday – our last market day – will be equally comforting in their warm flavors and textures.
There will be pumpkins, winter squash, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots and everyone’s favorite, rutabagas. AND sweet potatoes, cauliflower, apples and carrots – what a grand Thanksgiving dinner all that would make! Worth gathering at the table any day.
Still to come, on December 6, is Farmington’s Holly Days (no, we don’t know why it’s Days and not Day). Here’s a link for more information. The holiday cheer will begin at 10 a.m. with our Greens, Gifts and Giving Market (click for more info). For now, let’s enjoy a few more days of fall.

Behind the scenes at the Goetz family farm
In this new video, we accompany Market Manager Walt Gajewski as he makes an annual farm visit to the Goetz Greenhouse, a farm near Riga, Michigan, that’s been in the family for generations. You will learn how the farm is able to deliver organically grown produce to the Market every Saturday.
