From Michael Feigenbaum:
So after labor day here we are at the farmers markets every week the tables are full with the bountiful harvest.The selection gets better by the week, i am curious why the consuming public always seems to thin out about the same time? This is due to 1. kids back in school 2. weather is less perfect 3. people have less time to shop. Are these accurate answers? i do not know but would love to hear from some people who could help understand this phenomena and suggest how we could increase the traffic when the food is so abundant…

Could it be that your market is urban rather than agrarian and they are unaware that the abundant time of year is September and October-the harvest.
There is a lot of buzz in the spring about gardening and local produce, etc. Maybe we all need to create a bit of buzz with ripe, juicy tomatoes, eggplant, squash, and all of the wonderful things that you can do with these vegetables.
Part of it may be busy with kids back to school, but what better way to spend a Saturday morning than walking through a farmer’s market with your kids think of the learning, sharing, and fun.

thank you for your comment. I think we need to re-acquaint folks with preparing the fall bounty for preserving over the winter months easp. with the efficient freezers available for 100.00 you can keep all the tomatoes beans peppers etc. and enjoy them all winter long. there are many online resources to educate on this.check out my blog next week i will put some links up

Really great idea, Michael. Tim and I have researched the idea of a freezer for purchasing beef at better price points, but had not thought of the added bonus of harvesting vegetables and using them throughout the winter by incorporating freezing into the mix.
