Grapes galore this time of year. I found these at the UNU Market, but no need to look far. That low slant of light is back and the sun, like me, is getting up later and going to bed earlier. It feels wonderful to see the new season manifest itself on market tables, too. Squash galore, chestnuts, and those ever-wonderful greens are making their way onto the tables everywhere. Not to mention the first of this year's rice harvests are also arriving. Don't miss your chance to eat some of the freshest of the freshest for everything on the table! Earth Day Market Saturday, September 26th and Sunday, September 27th I could go wax on forever about how great this market is and how important it is for the future of Japanese farming and global food security. Instead, I'll just insist that folks go and see for themselves what great things the market and these innovative growers are doing. This month the market will be a a three-day wonderland of organic and fair trade
Words about farmers markets, gardening, food and whatever else catches my fancy.
