September was crazy. A lot of things happened.

Digging potatoes in the dusk, the night before the last market.

A lot of sleep lost, a lot of muscles, brains, and heartstrings strained.  Someone gave me a small pendant inscribed with the words, “This too shall pass”.  And so it shall.  September is gone, and here is October.

The market is finished.  Yesterday was the last day - 18 weeks gone in a flash.   We had to miss Week 17, and we are grateful and delighted that so many of you wrote or stopped by yesterday to say how much you had missed us the week before.  It has been incredibly rewarding to work with the folks running the Westside Farmers Market, the other venders there, and the customers coming through.  A huge thanks from us, to all of you.

We will still have available for individual sales:   Eggs, Garlic, Popcorn, limited Winter Squash, Potatoes, and other small items such as herbs, wreaths, hot pepper strings, and other garden odds and ends.  You can contact us here, and let us know if you would like to be added to our email list for delivery/pickup of the goods we will have available.

And here, we move into our season of final garden scavenging and preserving, preparing and planting fall beds, woodcutting, and taking stock of the year’s accomplishments.  And….shhh….we may.actually.have.more.time.to.write.about.it…  Hope springs eternal!

And platitudes rock.
