Temperatures are slowly dropping and fall is starting to show its colors. That means new faces and products at the Red Stick Farmers Market.
Just in time for spooky season, locally grown heirloom pumpkins will be a hot item on the October lineup. By mid-October the full fall harvest will be in, and customers will have the chance to pick up all the colorful favorites: fall tomatoes, squash, sweet corn, mustard greens, green onions, cucumbers, eggplant, bell peppers, turnips and cucumbers.
Jimmy Davis with Double D Farm will be back on Thursdays and Saturdays with satsumas, as well as an array of mouthwatering preserves and jellies.
