farmersMarket_02_char11I can’t believe it’s almost the end of summer already. Kids are going back to school. It’s been raining the last couple of days. And, shoot, Halloween is just around the corner. Or so it feels. Anyway, farmers markets are still steadyfreddy, so that’s a good thing. Whew.

This one’s going to be short. I don’t have my Marley here anymore to help with these reports. Sad.

Coppell Farmers Market: Have you seen the summer cover of Edible Dallas? The popsicles on there are mouth-watering and beautiful. Those SAME EXACT popsicles, Popstar Homemade Popsicles, will be debuting at the Coppell Farmers Market for the first time this Saturday. On the website, market organizer, Amanda, also says, “Melons are sweet and juicy, while peaches and blueberries still abound. It’s prime vegetable season with both summer and winter squash varieties showing up. Find tomatoes, tomatillos, cucumbers, garlic, onions, peppers, potatoes, okra, eggplant, herbs, and more.”
