We Give Thanks For Our Abundance

As winter sets in this holiday season, we're all hoping that we can keep eating local foods. We're thankful here in Central Texas that we can find fresh broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, winter squash, kale, peas, mustard greens, cauliflower, carrots, turnips, lettuce, spinach, leeks and more. Beyond fresh produce there's always local eggs, dairy products, honey, meats, beans, grains, jams, pickles, and other home canned or dried goods. By focusing our attention on preparing and eating these winter foods over the coming months we deepen our connection to the natural flow of the seasons and to the earth itself.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we give thanks for our abundance and for the ongoing support so many people are giving to family farmers, even in these hard economic times. Your growing commitment to creating a sustainable food system is one of the blessings for which we are truly grateful. We hope that at least a few local foods find their way to your holiday feast this year.

The Manor Farmers Market would like to extend a Texas sized thank you to all of our loyal patrons. May your tables be well stocked and your hearts full of gratitude. Eat well. Eat local. Happy Thanksgiving!
