A charming symbol of the past!

Manfull's Orchard and Farm market is a  charming symbol of the past that continues to thrive in the present.  It has been owned by the same family for over 100 years. 

 

 

 

Located in the small village of Augusta, Ohio it welcomes locals as well as visitors.   Here neighbors and friends gather to chat and catch up on the latest news. 

 

In autumn the market is a feast for the eyes.  Large pumpkins, gourds, and potted mums line the front of the building.    Inside lovely handmade furniture and crafts are showcased waiting for someone to take them home.    

 

 

    

  

 

 There is a great variety of apples from which to choose.    Yellow delicious is always a favorite.

 

Melrose will make a great sauce.

 



In this changing world it is pleasant to know some places withstand the test of time.

    So glad I could share the legacy of this special market.

Hope you enjoyed your vist.          

Reaping the Harvest

I am in the midst of reaping the harvest.   It is hard to imagine that just a few short weeks ago these tomatoes were small blossoms of yellow.   Now they are sweet juicy fruits waiting to be made into sauce.  

 

The Zucchini  has done well in spite of our dry weather.   Plenty for pickles and relish.

      Summer's hard work has given its reward.

 

 

 

The garden constantly teaches me about life.   It shows me that one does reap what is sown.  Whatever I plant, fertilize, water and give room to grow in my heart will be the fruit I bear and harvest for the coming season.   Hope I have planted well.

 

 May your harvest be bountiful - have a blessed day!
