Community Market Cooperative Celebrates the Harvest
Harvest time is almost upon us. The fields are already turning colors. It's beautiful to see the mix of green and gold. I'm not ready, though, to have the bare hills around us. With the cool nights coming on, soon it will be the trees turn to change it's colors.
As harvest gets closer, CMC is planning the first annual Local Harvest Banquet. We will have more information on our website soon. This banquet will be a delicious full course meal of food and beverages from around Iowa.
Many food items can be stored, canned or frozen and soon the farmers' markets will be done. So stock up on your local foods now so come the holidays you'll have plenty for your own dinners and your entertaining.
