The EAST AURORA FARMERS MARKET is one of the finest farm markets in the state, if not the country. Everything is grown by the farmers whom you purchase from. The quality and flavor of the fruit and produce is unparalleled. The East Aurora Farmers Market operates on Wednesday and Saturday's from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. EST. August 19, 2006 was a rainy day at the East Aurora Farmers Market, yet so many hardy souls came out and made the day a success for the farmers. Thank you so much to rainy day customers!
Last big day for Childs Blueberries but we will have pints of fresh blueberries for sale right up to frost. Due to a limited late season supply and the difficult picking, there is a limit of four pints of blueberries or less. Most, if not all other blueberry farms are closed but Childs Blueberries keep picking the last of the blueberries from the middle of the bushes and such to extend the season just a little longer! Samantha is pouring and doing a final sorting of the berries, Carrie & Lela are packaging while Daniel takes pictures of the market. Notice those empty pie trays on the end. This is what they looked like at 7 a.m.!
Aunt Carmen's pie recipe is on the recipe page at www.ChildsBlueberries.com
