The high prices at the supermarket are getting even higher here, so we took a trip out to our favorite local farm to see if we could manage more for our dollar there.
It's pumpkin season, of course, and they had lots (I really wish I liked pumpkin, but nope.)
I have peppers in the freezer from the summer garden, or I would have grabbed these. I opted for some sweet potatoes and red onions, and a big bag of corn on the cob.
The owners always do a nice display with this old wagon; in the summer they load it up with watermelon. Alas, autumn is here.
I was also happy to find a bottle of raw honey from a local beekeeper for sale. If you can support your local growers, please do. We're also going to make more of effort to get out there as many indy farms took a hard hit from Hurricane Ian.

I'm back! Sorta. I have access to my desktop again. They're not quite finished with the floor.
We went grocery shopping yesterday and were gobsmacked at the prices. It's ridiculous.
We got only what was necessary.
There are farmer's markets in bigger cities but by us you only see the occasional farmstand with irregular hours. Since I had a rotten gardening year I'll be frequenting them more often.
Our farmer's markets are winding down here. Yesterday and today, it will be close to 70, but the week and a half leading up to this weekend never got out of the 40's. I've been mostly buying from them though since at the grocery, that bill has now more than doubled, and I buy pretty much the same things week in and week out.
