Hello Market Friends,

It's officially cozy-season shopping at the Farmers Market! The tables are filling up with the best of fall, and the colors of the season are everywhere you look.

Think squash, potatoes, cabbage, hearty greens, crisp apples, pumpkins, and a whole lot of mums!

Whether you're planning a pot of soup, roasting vegetables for dinner, baking something with fresh-picked apples, or adding a little autumn color to your front porch, the market has plenty to inspire you.

Fall is one of our favorite times to shop. The ingredients are made for comforting meals, the decorations are ready for your doorstep, and there's always something new to discover as the harvest changes.



So grab your tote, bring your appetite, and maybe make a little extra room in the car for those mums!

The harvest is still going strong, and we have several weeks left to enjoy it together. Come shop local, support our farmers, and soak up all the goodness this season has to offer.

See you at the market!

Recipe Box: Oktoberfest at Home!

We might be a little late to the Oktoberfest party, but that doesn't mean we have to miss out on the feast! With cabbage and potatoes in season at the market, it's the perfect time to bring a little German-inspired comfort food to your table. Grab a few market ingredients and let's put together a meal worth celebrating.

Sweet & Tangy German Red Cabbage

Red cabbage and apples come together in a sweet-and-sour side dish that's full of fall flavor. Slowly cooked until tender with a little vinegar and warming spices, it's a colorful companion to sausages, roasted meats, and hearty autumn dinners.

Warm German Potato Salad

Forget the mayo! This German potato salad features tender potatoes tossed in a tangy bacon-and-vinegar dressing, with onions and fresh parsley for extra flavor. Serve it warm alongside grilled brats for a comforting fall meal.

Grilled Beer Brats

Juicy bratwurst, beer, and a little time on the grill make a delicious centerpiece for your Oktoberfest spread. Serve with mustard and your favorite toppings, then pile on the red cabbage and potato salad for a feast that feels straight out of a German beer garden.

Prost! 🍻 Whether you're hosting a full Oktoberfest spread or simply looking for a cozy fall dinner, these recipes are a delicious way to celebrate the season—and put those market potatoes and cabbage to good use.
