This is the time of year to purchase the last of the summer fruit here in the Bay Area. If you can't get out to one of those pick-it-yourself farms, a Farmer's Market is the way to go. Here in the Bay Area, we have many Farmers' Markets from which to choose (find one here).
The stone fruits are still available and sweeter than ever. The melons are full of flavor and moisture after many hot, hot days. A variety of berries are plentiful and also flavorful from the intense sun. This is a great time to buy a flat or two of some of your favorites, and preserve, pickle, or dehydrate to enjoy in the winter (similar to Little House in the Big Woods, but with all our modern tools and gadgets)!

Soon, pears of all shapes, colors, and types will be available, as well as apples of all varieties, apple butter, and apple cider. Pumpkins, squash and root vegetables will also appear on the scene (some in the form of pie). Life is good in this time of bounty!
