Fall is in the air...

Ahhh...the weather! After this scorching hot summer, the early fall breeze is a much welcomed change! Something about even this slight change of temperature tempts me to open all of the windows and start the first of the season's many batches of vegetable soup. Today, at Honey General Store, we started to get in our first order of pumpkins. We hope you'll decorate your porch with one of these monsters. We also have tiny ones too and the prices start at just $2.00 per pumpkin.

And on the social calendar...Monroe's fall activities are now underway. Taste of Monroe was a huge success! Everyone had a wonderful night with the food, music, and friends. Honey was the winner of "Best Taste" with our nassau grits, caprese salad, brownies, cookies, and breads! I can't wait to see what the second annual Taste will involve. Whippoorwill Hollow Farm's Field Of Greens (think organic farm aid) happens this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and they're expecting a huge turnout. Also this Saturday, GWA fall fest. Please visit the Honey booth for some samples, give aways, and to sign up for the co-op. Downtown Monroe is hosting its second annual Fall Festival on October 13th starting at 10:00 a.m. Visit downtown Monroe for shopping, music, kids activities, and a farmer's market. Please come out and support your local businesses.
