AT THE MARKET:
It's another winter market week at the Canandaigua Farmer Market this Saturday. I'll have halved squash, stew starters, and greenery swags for the holidays. And if time allows, I might even get a few greenery basket arrangements done.

AT THE MARKET:
Well, summer market season is done for the year, but the Canandaigua winter market is just beginning. Our first one is this Saturday, in the Antis Street parking lot behind the old Main Street Byrne Dairy. I'll have more flowered gourds (they'll last through Thanksgiving), bittersweet, broom corn, and depending on the weather, might even be able to pull together a bouquet or two. See ya there!
