The Broadway Farmer’s Market will help you dress up your pumpkin this Sunday. Kid-friendly and provided freely are a few pumpkins and a crafty space with sparkly supplies galore. Is there a drag pumpkin in your future? From the market newsletter:

Grab a pumpkin and go to town with all manner of ghoulish deco and artistic accoutrement; paints, glitter, glue, pipe cleaners, googley-eyes, yarn, leaves, corn silk, etc. The decorating choices are endless and the results are always original. Decoration materials are provided by the farmers market, and some pumpkins will be provided by local farmers (shoppers are also welcome to purchase a pumpkin of their choice from market farmers).

Also in season: Kiwis!  I always forget this fruit can be grown locally; they just seem way too exotic for our temperate climate. (Like puffins. I am not making this up. Puffins are local, I swear. I saw one once.) 

Besides pumpkins and kiwis, other in-season goods include squash, carrots, lettuce, onions, pears.

iPhone and iTouch owners can keep up with in-season, locally grown and produced foodstuffs with the iPhone application Locavore. Not only is Locavore helpful with farmer’s market purchasing decisions, it also provides recipe suggestions (via Foodista)  for those market treasures.  Read more about Locavore on The SunBreak.
