Brighton Community Garden plot of the BHS Environmental Club, with George Smith, advisor (a very tall guy)

Please note: Next Sunday, September 5, the Brighton Farmer’ Market will once again relocate for the day, this time to the Twelve Corners Middle School parking lot, 2035 Monroe Ave. (behind the Brighton Central School District Administration building).  This will allow the resurfacing of the BHS parking lot, which was rescheduled because of last week’s rain.

This week:

Tables will be piled high this week with the late summer harvest — sweet corn, carrots, beets, summer squash, eggplant, beans, onions, garlic, leeks, fresh herbs, salad mix, and a colorful riot of tomatoes — red, green, orange, yellow, almost black, striped, as tiny as the tip of your little finger or as big as a big man’s fist.  Organic Matters Farm will have bushels of tomatoes for preserving.  Summer fruits will be in abundance — red, yellow, and orange watermelon, canteloupe, peaches, giant blackberries, and fall raspberries.  Noto Fruit Farm will bring Gala apples, nectarines, peaches, pears, and ginger gold apples.  Karen and Stan Bischoping will have plums, Starking Delicious pears, Jonamac and Mac apples, and Tolman Sweet heirloom apples.  Chicory Blue Gardens will offer pretty bouquets with China asters in mixed colors, and Amaranth flowers in shades of gold and dark red.  The Dalai Java reports that his popular Bali Blue Moon coffee is back, and he has a new Papua New Guinea coffee as well.

The Genesee Land Trust will join us to share information on its programs and good work in our area.   Jennifer Cherelin and Mike Baker will entertain in the music tent.  Kids can visit the Good Grub Club for a free taste of fall raspberries.

The Brighton Farmers’ Market is held Sundays, 9 am to 1 pm, in the Brighton High School parking lot, 1150 Winton Road South.  The market is sponsored by the Town of Brighton.
