This is it...it's here....but it won't last very long.

Late August was always an anxious time for me, it marked the end of childhhod summer recklessness, staying up late at night, playing oustide until way past dark, hot box with my friends (and later with my sons), the ice crream truck, grilled foods, and not having to do homework. But, late August also means that the summer harvest is here.

The local farmers markets in New Haven can be  slightly underwheling especially when you compare them to the New York markets or even the Santa Monica farmers market. But, we are a small community, and our local farmers bust their butts planting, tending to and now, picking and selling the fruits of their labor. This is a great time to get out, support our local growers and benefit from the beautiful fresh fruit CT soil provides.
