August Splendor...
Nature is really putting on a show this month with meteor showers and the upcoming solar eclipse. This is a special time of year at the market too. Sweet corn mingles with a glorious bounty of tomatoes in bright, sunshiney colors and pepper and peaches are piled high. The first hints of autumn begin to peek out from below the vendors' tents... the flowers start to take on the hues of fall in burgundy and gold and accented with shafts of wheat. Apples are arriving too.
Our Kids' Market stand returns this week and
Last Small Town will fill the circle with their blue grass beat. Come join us in experiencing the beauty and taste of the season and the wonderful spirit of downtown Easton. You can even buy a special edition Eclipse coffee from Fieldstone!
