Think “late summer” and what comes to mind? For me, it’s towering sunflowers and the waning harvests of sweet corn amidst the bountiful supplies of squash and other autumn fruits, tilled fields and hay rides. Have you visited your local farmer lately? Farmers’ markets have surged in popularity since their start in the 1800s, thanks to a strong interest in fresh and wholesome food and the feeling of community they engender. Many close up shop during the month of October, but some, like the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, are open year-round with limited hours. Check your local listings for a market near you.
