Farmer's Market this Friday at IMAN! 9/21/18

[Eric Rodriguez]

Hello AUA Community,

As the warmth fades, the climate for leafy greens and other cool temperature crops returns. We also have big harvests that have been growing all season, including winter squashes and bunches of tomatoes! 

 

This week at the Fresh Beats & Eats Farmer's Market, we will be discussing how the fall is a very important time to think about food. We will be showcasing fall gardening activities and food preservation -- essential skills for living well during Chicago's fall and winter months.
