Greetings all – October is here and the end of the 2010 market season is approaching fast! The fall growing season has been refreshed and re-invigorated by several inches of rainfall last week and the weather this week will be bright and cool on occasion. Pefect!! Fall blooms and produce alike are vibrant and ready for the pickin. We look forward to seeing you at Byrd House Market this week. Apples, Apple cider, Apple preserves, chutneys, relishes, butters, jellies. Start thinking about those warm autumn soups and stews. I encourage you to go to the Vendor Product/Update link at byrdhousemarket.blogspot.com and select a few vendor websites to visit. It’s a nice way to plan your shopping and see what our folks are up to between market days.

This week Chef MaMusu is not only recovering from this year’s 2nd Street Festival in Historic Jackosn Ward, but she’s madly and wonderfully preparing to be one of the lucky vendors at this year’s Richmond Folk Festival. So, plan to get your Mixed Greens fix at the festival this weekend because she won’t be at the market.

So, we reached into the Way Back Machine and brought back former market manager Laura Morand Bailey in the guise of Ettamae’s – the new restaurant she, her brother and her mother have opened up in Historic where??? Jackson Ward, right o 2nd Street near Leigh. So look for Ettamae’s just inside the garden where MaMusu has been stationed.

Byrd House Market seems to be developing a spa-type environment – rest and contemplation under the Mulberry Tree for you mind, leisurely strolls through the market to get the freshest most healthful foods for your body, reinvigoration and stress relieved with a few minutes of upper body massage – people come to our market and spend time along with their dollars and sometimes even when they don’t have any. Byrd House Market is just a great place to hang out.

I like my job.

See you at the market.
