Celebrate Fall Fest with us, Market Customers!
Our Fall Fest is this Saturday, September 28th, at Hayden Market, 9:00 am – 1:30 pm. It’s so much fun for the whole family, with our vendors adding pumpkins, squash, and corn stalks to their stands as well as some offering fall goodies, like apple cider and candied apples. There will be activities including pumpkin painting, scarecrow making, and a ton of seasonal fun. Activities are free but donations to support our Power of Produce (PoP) Club for kids are welcome! Come enjoy a fun day with everyone.
KCFM FALL CALENDAR OF EVENTS

TerraTopia Farm: TerraTopia will have apples again this week, both Liberty and Honeycrisp varieties. Other produce includes tomatoes (sauce, slicers, and cherries) and garlic. We will, of course, have our regular offering of raw goat milk, cheeses, caramel sauce, and jams/jellies (hot pepper, garlic and fruit).
Winifred Farms: Happy Fall Fest from Winifred Farms! Last week we welcomed Fall and our first really cold temps of the season. We were hit pretty hard with frost last weekend and are sad to report that the zinnias didn’t make it, and we were left with only a few viable celosia plants. We were able to salvage quite a few dahlias and will have these beauties along with everybody’s favorite- eucalyptus; available in bouquets as well as in fresh bunches for the shower. With more cold night ahead, it looks like this will be our last market of the season, so we are bringing EVERY Flower we can cut! Be sure and come by and say hi and bye for the season! We have a few on-farm educational experience for young learners coming up, so feel free to come by and get signed up or ask questions!

This month, Tea.Health.Honey has added a pumpkin blend with less spice but a lot of flavor to our tea drinking menu: Autumn Harvest Black. Organic black tea and marigold petals are mixed with a pumpkin extract to bring a wonderful flavor profile but without all the spices. This makes for a versatile blend whether you’re making a hot creamy latte or an iced or blended beverage. It even pairs well with our Semper Fi Chai for those that want to add the spice along with the pumpkin flavor. Stop by and visit the Tea Lady and pick up your Autumn Harvest Black during the remainder of our market season!
