Bucks Food Calendar: August 28, 2017

The nights are getting chilly, but the days are still warm. It certainly feels like September is on its way!

The first apples are appearing at farmers markets and local orchards like Manoff Market Gardens and Solebury Orchards. Look for Sanza at Manoff’s and Gala apples at Solebury. Pick your own is available at Solebury. Manoff’s also still has peaches as well as fall raspberries.
