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.
Next fall weekend: The Apple Orchard!
