Yes, September is here – and I’m just thrilled about it! But many of us, I’ve learned, definitely have some mixed notions about this month. And certainly, it does depend on perspective – a student, versus a non-student, for example, may each see September quite differently. Either way, let’s all thank the many incredible teachers out there! 💜

Coronation grapes! – available this week from Reyes Farms.

And for those already missing the hot, lazy days of summer, remember that it’s still here for a couple more weeks. And while September does bring with it, earlier sunsets and (generally) cooler temps, the fall season doesn’t officially start until September 22nd – lots of time yet!

Many of the incredible “treasures” available from Knuckle Down Farm this week.

But ultimately, whether you see this month as “glass half-empty”, or “glass half-full”, hopefully you’ll agree with me, about the amazingness of our local harvest. September (in my view), is definitely a month to just bask in agricultural splendor. And what better place to do that, than at the Dufferin Grove Farmers’ Market this Thursday? No bias on my part, of course.

And please be aware that House of Tigernut continues to be at the market – but just in a different location. You will now find them “on the grass”, near Rogers Ranch and Kalmplex Snax. Feel free to check with the info table, if you can’t find them.

And finally, please note that Mr Macaw, (our new coffee vendor), is away this week – but will return on September 12th. David loved the response he received, and can’t wait to return!
