It’s Prime Time for Produce, a Fall Farmers Market Guide for Central Minnesota

Harvest season is here and area farmers markets are overflowing with colorful and flavorful produce for us to enjoy. Over Labor Day weekend I stopped by Thorson's Farm Fresh Produce in Long Prairie and snapped the photo above of the gorgeous in-season produce available. Everything from onions to Brussels sprouts, to peppers and pumpkins are all ready for us to pick up.
