Ohio Farm Market

LFLF made a trip into Ohio today and took the opportunity to stop at VanPelt's Farm Market on the return trip.  This market is full of goodies!   The vegetable & herb selection was really nice.  They still have sweet corn and tons of watermelons and cantalopes.  The lady in front of us in line bought 4 bushels of canning tomatoes & loaded them into her truck. 
There were at least 10 varieties of apples for sale, but not Winesap today ..... "They're not ripe yet" we heard the owner tell one customer who inquired.
The market carries eggs, cheeses, meats, bacon, milk etc, from local farms and from the Ohio Amish country in the counties to the west of the market.
VanPelts has a line of baked goods and there is a full selection of jams & jellies available.

Our primary objective today was sweet peppers for stuffing and LFLF was not disappointed!  The peppers were just perfect ..... a big bag of them came home with us.

Just lots of veggies and at this time of year, the gourds, pumpkins, mums, and winter squashes were also plentiful!  
Large Hubbard Squashes!
