ITHACA, N.Y. — It’s the last day of summer and the community is divided about how to feel about the end of the season.

Some people are eager for the onset of autumn, the chance to eat pumpkin pie, and the never-ending supply of the best apples of the year. Some people are creepily petting their snowmobiles and reminding themselves that they’re one day closer to winter bliss. Some people, like me, are already missing sunbathing and sweltering hot temperatures (Only 253 days until summer 2018!).

Either way, let’s have a look back on some of out favorite photos from this summer. We hope it was as memorable for you as it was for us.

(Editor’s note: We included this photo to remind people of how the community came together to address the racist white power march by the KKK, Nazis, and other white supremacists groups in  Charlottesville Virginia. The terrorist attack left one woman dead and about 19 injured.)

Fresh organic fruits and vegetables, and artisan breads, are just a few of the goods being offered at the Press Bay Alley farmer’s market right now. The Full Plate Farm Collective meets here (Thurs. from 4-7pm) for its summertime Organic Veggie CSA, and for those who can’t make it out for pick-up, they even offer delivery within the City of Ithaca. From their flyer: “The Full Plate is a collective effort of several area farms to make fresh, local produce accessible to a wide segment of the Ithaca-area community. Our CSA coordinator, Sara (607.379.2866), connects our members to our farms.” Friday evenings, the Congo Square market meets in the same locale, 4-8pm.) #ithaca #tompkinscounty #local #organic #fruit #vegetables #farmersmarket #glocal #twithaca #fullplate #fullplatefarm #wideawakebakery #crookedcarrot #blackpearlcreamery #doubleemushrooms
