Think outside the Macintosh! Sample more than twenty kinds of apples in our annual tasting - including organic and heirloom varieties. This is a great way to learn which apples are best for certain applications, Which ones hold their shape in a pie, or won't turn brown in a salad? Or which ones will your kids eat! We'll have handy little checklists so you can check off your favorites and know which farmer is offering them.

Salvaterra's apple harvest has been impressive this year! No small feat considering how challenging it is to grow apples organically.

In honor of Apple Jam, Comeback Farm organic apples and pears will be featured at Cabbage Throw Farm. In partnership on certified organic preserved farmland, Landowner Farmer Mark, has been hauling in the bounty of his historic heirloom apple varieties from over 3 acres of fruit trees. If you're lucky, you may even snag a few of the 'Roxbury Russet,' believed to be the oldest apple cultivar bred in the United States, having first been discovered and named in the mid-17th century in the former Town of Roxbury, part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony southwest of Boston. Some folks say the flavor is similar to guava and the texture is like a coconut. It has a very high sugar content, though you may not notice it due to the other complex flavors.

Cabbage Throw Farm will have complimentary salad greens, including farmers' mix, spring mix, and gem romaine along with several varieties of winter squash that all pair well with the sweet fall flavor of apples and pears. Roasted winter squash can warm up many meals and your pooches will love them too!

Additional produce available includes cabbage, napa cabbage, fennel, carrots, celery, beets, kohlrabi, specialty radish, turnips, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, dandelion greens, herbs, shallots, onions, garlic and more.

This Saturday is Holy Cow Flower Farm's last week of flowers for the year, and Jenn and Bryan want to send a huge thank you to all of the wonderful EFM shoppers for such a great season.

They look forward to growing even more flowers for you next season, and don't forget they'll have lots of dahlia tubers available in early spring.

With near 80 temps I was thinking of doing my Summermint or Summer Herbs soaps but seriously I do have my Halloween soaps (Jack-O-Lantern or Scary Nights) and a few of my Halloween bundles left for those party hostess gifts.
