Fall Flavors Fest

Every autumn, Greenfield Village, a local historical attraction, holds its fall flavors fest and farmers market for two weekends. I love these weekends!! So much so, that we went both weekends this year. I always love this time of year at the Village, when everything is decorated for fall, including the trees themselves, which are all decked out in the autumn finery. 

Warning: This is a very photo heavy post!

The fall flavors fest is straight down Main street, inside the open air pavilion. Inside are a host of goodies waiting to be exclaimed over, touched, sniffed, and tasted. It is a feast for the senses! I couldn't get very many photos inside, as it was crowded and hard to maneuver, but I did manage to grab a few. 

I love these handmade brooms. I just had to buy one, and it was only $20! I bought the one right in front, with the multicolored bottom. The crafstman, Henry, who makes them was to the right of the display, using a machine that his ancestors have used for years and years. I found a youtube video that shows Henry Tschetter making his antique brooms if you were interested. Just skip past the credits about 30 seconds. This is a link to his website.

Wow did this booth smell amazing! Everything was lavender or balsam scented, I had a hard time walking away empty-handed! There were wreaths, sachets, lotions, food products - so much to choose from! How cool would it be to live on a lavender farm? 

After perusing the wares inside to our hearts content, we chose to wander around the village.

The Village is one of my favorite places, especially in autumn. It shuts down for the winter, with the exception of opening for the Holiday Nights in December, which is another favorite of mine.

Next fall weekend: The Apple Orchard!

Do you have any places you visit every fall?
