Farmers Market Minute 11-14-09 Among the few pleasant surprises since 2005 has been the rise of monthly markets that send the signal to policy makers, neighbors, and developers that critical mass is brewing, communities are back, and tents and umbrellas are signs of hope. Among them, the Sankofa Marketplace on Caffin and St. Broad has not only caught people's imagination but also lured a grocery store to make claim to open in a building across the street.

What will winter bring? If you're trying to figure out if winter will be mild or icy, consider striking up a conversation with farmers at market.

Embrace the traditional knowledge farmers possess and use it to plan your winter.

A stable indicator of autumn, family time, and cooler temperatures, satsumas are easy to love.
