October already?

Is it really October already? I supposed I should have been more prepared, the crisp evenings and chilly mornings have been rapidly encroaching on the hot days of summer. What do these pieces of fall have to do with the Bentonville Farmers Market?



The Bentonville Farmers Market ends on October 27. That means the market has four more Saturdays to bring you fresh local produce. You can expect to stock up on squash, pumpkins, apples, okra, beans, potatoes, greens, meats and cheeses.


One of my favorite fall activities is making caramel apples! I love the smell of the caramel in the house, the juiciness of fresh apples, and the laughs shared over a stove on a chilly day. I have been wanting to try a recipe for Inside Out Caramel Apples from our Bentonville Farmers Market Pinterest page for a while now. Looking at these locally grown apples, I think it is a must!


This week at the Bentonville Farmers Market, the Benton County Master Gardeners will be set up with fall themed activities for the whole family. I hope to see you at one of the bountiful October markets, held at the Downtown Bentonville Square from 7:00am to 1:00pm.
