The end of summer and transition to fall brings with it many fun farm and food events, including fairs, classes, farm tours and fine food affairs.
August is a plentiful time at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market, with summer produce at its peak: seasonal crops such as corn, tomatoes, beans, peppers, melons, stone fruit (peaches, plums, etc.) add their colors to a rainbow of other fresh items, and it’s easy to pick up complementary foods and beverages: wine and cheese, fresh meat or fish for the grill, eggs and bacon for a full country breakfast, and baked goods to round out any meal.
With summer in full swing, it’s the season for county fairs, farmers’ markets, and food preservation classes. Take advantage of the great resources in this area and learn more about local agriculture and better nutrition for you and your family.
