Monday's mission for LFLF included a drive to Indiana County to pick up B&B Serbian Spruce trees at Musser Forests , a large regional grower. We have been buying trees & shrubs at Musser for years, but usually they're seedlings purchased in lots of 50 - 100 & shipped in the spring for planting. After we picked out a couple of trees and had them loaded up, we headed for home. It was a beautiful warm October day, perfect for leaf peeping, and LFLF had one more stop in mind!
Yes, Yarnick's Farm still has sweet corn! We picked up half a dozen ears of corn and a quart of tomatoes. We also grabbed some other veggies .......... everything looked really great and fresh in the market. The half bushel specials were nice looking for anyone interested in canning or baking pies!
Unfortunately,we had to pass on the meats and cheeses since we didin't bring our cooler. We'll know better next time. Just as we were leaving the market, a local chef stopped in and began his shopping with a selection of tomatoes ..... that's a testimony to the quality & variety available, wouldn't you say? Tomorrow we'll show you what was going on in the greenhouse behind the market. For now, here is a parting shot of the fields near the market in their fall glory!
