Troy, a local farmer, has the most beautiful arrangement of his veggies. He displays his lettuce, fresh herbs and other greens together in large wooden box trays and then sprinkles red & yellow edible flowers over the top.

[weather]
Warm and temps in the high 80's, delicious kettle corn scented air surrounded us as we shopped.

[busyness]
Medium-ish. A huge thunderstorm swept through the county on Monday, many of our neighbors & local businesses were without power. Vendors were running on generator power.

[in-season]
Fresh herbs, potted plants, swiss chard, kale, lettuce, green onions, garlic, potatoes, arugula, tomatoes, green beans, and carrots

[purchased]
5 long-stemmed carrots, a tri-colored bunch of onions, & 1 kohlrabi

[heard thru the grapevine]
The storm on Monday brought 80 mph winds, causing power-outages and many felled trees. I observed on my drive to work corn stalks laid flat in the fields. We'll have to wait and see if this will affect the harvesting.
