There is much to mark the changing of the seasons at the Fayette County Farm Market; not only does the produce availability continue to evolve, but one sees the addition of sunflowers to the cut flowers and more emphasis on OSU-related items. Baked goods feature fall pumpkin and apples.
With schools and sporting activities in full swing, both vendors and shoppers are required to be elsewhere, especially on Saturdays. And the weather reflects the temperature and humidity drops which in turn seems to add a bounce to many a step, and increased energy and enthusiasm. There are many who write eloquently of this month, but Longfellow captures the feeling and texture of the human experience of the season beautifully:
“The morrow was a bright September morn;
The earth was beautiful as if newborn;
There was nameless splendor everywhere,
That wild exhilaration in the air,
Which makes the passers in the city street
Congratulate each other as they meet.”
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
