It is a full moon weekend. Whether you call it the Sturgeon Moon, Corn Moon, or Harvest Moon - it also marks out move into the next part of the growing season.

This week at Market, we'll start to see more night shade plants making an appearance on vendor tables. Look for peppers, eggplant, early potatoes, and more tomato red. YUM!

Night shade plants are also known as 'Solanaceae', so we're gearing up to celebrate super saucy Solanaceae offerings for the next few weeks. Don't forget to make a trip to the Waterdown Farmers' Market to check out what's new, ripe and delicious.

Ask our vendors about the variety of goods they're displaying. They'll often have great tips for storing, preparing and serving the bounty from their fields.

Jones Family Greens grows organic seedlings, salad greens and seasonal produce at Edgewood Farm in Eden Mills, Ontario. They pride themselves in their varied mixed greens as well as an assortment of seasonal produce. The impetus for starting Jones Family Greens was to actively address two increasing crises of our time: decreasing health and climate change; focusing on soil health can be part of the solution to both by sequestering carbon and growing more flavourful and more nutritious food.
